With Fall right around the corner I realized I've done a poor job at updating this blog. I have several excuses I can throw out (such as I used my iPad 99% of the time and it's harder to update on there, and our laptop charger broke, etc) but instead I'll just update you...mainly in pics!
We went to Jaxson's first rodeo in a nearby town called Enumclaw with our friends who have a little girl about 2 months older than Jax. While hanging out Nola couldn't stay away from him and stole his first kiss! Too cute.
Some of my family bought tickets to the Boise State vs U of Washington football game here in Seattle. So over Labor Day weekend we had a BBQ at our place then headed to the game. Although an upset for BSU fans, it was still fun. Jaxson stayed with a baby sitter (since it was a night game) and did awesome :)

Since summer time is winding down, Del and I took Jaxson to a lake just a few mins from our house. He did NOT like getting in or even near the water so we just hung out on the grass at a safe distance from the lake haha.
Just a few days after the "bad" lake experience, Jaxson started his 1st swim class! I was concerned about how he'd act since he hated the lake but I think since I have to hold him the whole time he decided it wasn't too bad. The 1st lesson he was a little hesitant and worried but we've had 2 more since then and he goes in splashing and leaves with a stomach full of pool water, lol.

Football season has started! Seahawks played their first game last weekend (and won!) and, although he slept thru most of the game, I had to put him in his Hawks gear :)

As I've said a few times, every nice day this month I've been trying to get out and enjoy it cuz it could be our last! So Jaxson and I spent some time at our neighborhood park. He loves playing in the rocks and swinging!
At 11 months (in just 3 days) Jaxson is always doing new things (good and bad!) We've been working on boundaries with him and it's giving me an insight into what's to come. For the most part he's a pretty good boy, and stops what he's doing when told. But when it comes to certain things (anything electronic like ipad, cell phones, etc) it takes a little more...coaxing to get him to listen :-P I got my first head-in-his-hands pout the other night after the 3rd time telling him "don't touch" my ipad. It was hard for me not to laugh! Maybe even worse than the pout is when he gives me a smug smile after I tell him "no" then 10 seconds later he does it again. Lol...I wonder who he got that from....
Now for BIG news! Jaxson took his first few steps earlier this week! The first video is that very first night he took any steps, the second one is the next night.
Then this last one was just last night. He has started dancing a little bit when music plays on a few of his toys. It's pretty cute. He's had a decent cold for a week now so it's nice to see him still having fun!
