Oprah Talk

In a post a couple of days ago, the "Oprah" talk, was about Autism- since she has had several shows about it.

Mark The Elf

We have a new little friend named Mark. He goes to the North Pole at night and reports to Santa. If Brantley goes to sleep late, he doesn't have time to get there and back, so he doesn't come to life. We cant touch him. Sometimes he is nice and sometimes he is naughty. Last week he wrote Brantley a Birthday Letter, and one night he was bad and he opened a bag of marshmallows- spilt them on the floor-and still had one in his hand when we found him!!!. He stayed home while we traveled last week- too much on him. Last night he brought back a small plush dog from Santa's toy shop. I will have to keep everyone updated on what mark is doing!

4 months check up

Last week, we went to get shots- so sad!! And yes, we had the "Oprah" talk with our wonderful doctor. I feel much better now!!!! Jax did great-he did not have a low grade fever, and he was not fussy all day! (after the shots) He is now 16.15 lbs and 27" long. Growing fast!!!! We talked to our doctor about waiting on food for right now. People think I am crazy- but he is 4 months old- sleeps great- growing and reaching milestones before he should- so we are even waiting on rice cereal for now!!! Mommy's milk is all he needs right now. Hard to believe because, I was so scared about nursing- now it is second nature. I think if I make it until he is a year old- I might get my certification and become a lactation consultant- ( when I go back to my Nursing career) I think we need young moms today to encourage others!!!

Look who is....

Birthday Guest

Zoo Party

Saturday, we had Brantley's birthday party at the zoo! It was a lot of fun!

Look who is....

Almost 4 months old

I had to post this picture because, he always has this serious look. Then, when you talk to him he will start laughing and trying to talk. He is such a joy! We are having so much fun!

Wedding Weekend

This past weekend, we went to my friend Jessyca's wedding. She looked beautiful!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!!!

Yesterday, Santa made his grand entrance into our neighborhood grocery store on a Fire Truck. Brantley thought this was so cool! Awesome as he put it. Then once Santa was inside, all the kids could take pictures with him. Brantley was very excited! Jaxson had no idea who this man was, or why he was there. Jax met Santa on Saturday, while we were in Nashville. He was more amazed by the flashing red lights above instead of St. Nick. These are the pics from yesterday and I will scan in his pics from Saturday later!

Riding In Cars With Boys

Today, we were riding down the road to see Santa at Publix, when Brantley said "Mommy, Girls get on my nerds!!!"

Private

After reading my friend Katie's blog, we are now going Private too! Email me your email address and I will add you, if I already do not have it. Or leave me a comment, so you can continue to check on the Wood's Crazy World. Sorry, just trying to keep my children safe!

16 weeks old!

Time has flown by! Jaxson is now 16 weeks old. Doing great! We go for his check up on the 19th- with shots. Poor Baby! T.K. got his flu shot yesterday, and I am waiting until Saturday so I will have a babysitter. I dont want to take Jax into a doctors office this time of year. (the mom/nurse in me) Jax is doing great sleeping about 9-10 hours at night and 2 long naps in the daytime. Wearing size 2 diapers and 6 months in clothes. We are going thru clothes like crazy!!! Kinda sad! He is still on Mommy's milk every 2-3 hours. We had to call our lactation consultant last week, because Jax was demanding so much. Of all things she told me to drink Lemon-Lime gatorade and eat oatmeal and homemade oatmeal cookies. Crazy- but it worked!!!! (great tip for all you new moms!) This weekend we are taking a road trip to Nashville for a wedding. Just a short day trip. My friend Jessyca is getting married in a chapel there. So Jaxson will have his first road trip to Nashville with Mommy alone. We checked into flying, but too much work (rental car, baby stuff, etc.) So this should be fun!!!! Brantley is adjusting very well, and now he is having even more fun since Jaxson is laughing back at him. Watching those two just melts me!
