Brantley is doing great in basketball! He scored 10 goals last night- no joke! Jax loves to watch him too!

Valentines Treat
This year I have decided to cook on Valentines and I was so excited when I found this at Target! It is located with the frozen desserts! If you close your eyes when you eat it, you just might think that you are at The Melting Pot! (one of my fave restaurants here in bham)

where do you blog?
Where do you blog? This is a picture of my computer in the breakfast area at our house. I usually post from here but read other blogs from all over the house, bedroom, living room, etc. I saw this post on several other blogs and just thought I would join in the fun! Happy Blogging!

Isabella is home!
Isabella went home yesterday afternoon. Erika called me and said that they were doing better, Isabella was eating and acting more like herself again. She responded well to all the IV meds that she was given. So as of now, they are all home trying to get better and stay well. Just an update to let you know how they are!

6 month check up
This week we have been to the doctor twice! First time was on Tuesday, Jax developed a cough that I was concerned about- since I have asthma. All was good- clear lungs! yea!!! Then, yesterday was his scheduled 6 month appointment, so we went back to see our normal doctor. He said that he was great, low grade fever was from teething- which duh Haley- his clothes and bibs have been drenched for the past few days! I just second guess myself when it comes to my babies- and that is why my friends, I will not work in pediatrics! I did have my doctor give Jax a flu shot- living in the south- the flu hits here later, so something to think about if your baby is now 6 months old! He was a little fussy last night- but overall doing good. Just a clear runny nose and cough from the drainage. He is 18.16 pounds. He has gained 2 lbs in the last 2 months and is still on the charts with a big 97 percentile! Growing Too Fast! Next appt is in April at 9 months!

Update on Isabella
I just talked to Aunt Joanne (Erika's mom) on my way home this morning from Jax's appointment. Isabella is having to stay overnight again- due to the diagnosis of Bacterial Pneumonia. When I was talking to the family earlier Erika was trying to get her to sleep and Sam was on the way to pick up Erika some medication- for she is now coughing, and little Landry is still on breathing treatments. Maybe Sam will not get sick, there needs to be atleast one well person in the family! Just an update! Will post more as I hear it.

Pray for Isabella
Isabella was just admitted to the hospital today. Her breathing is about 80 respirations a minute and 104 degree fever. She has a little IV in her and is getting fluids and is being kept overnight. Please keep Erika, Sam, Isabella and Landry in your prayers! Erika and TK are cousins- so I am keeping up to date with the family.

Got Snow?
These pictures were taken earlier, before the heavy snow- but my camera went dead. This is Jaxson's first snow and Brantley missed it! He is in MS today for the long weekend! I am sad about it! We had a great time with our neighbors though! Maybe I can post more snow pics after it finishes!

100th Day of School
Tomorrow is the 100th day of school. Tonight we placed 100 balls(baseballs, soccer balls, footballs, volleyballs) on his poster for the 100th day of school. His project was to collect 100 objects and display them somehow. Having an infant in the house, we really dont have that many small objects, so we displayed these using all of his arts and crafts supplies.
Brantley also got his first "big boy haircut" today. I was sad- but I am getting over it. Maybe it will be easier to brush in the mornings before school now!
6 Months old
Tomorrow Jaxson will be 6 months old. (I am already tearing up blogging this) This is a picture I took this morning before we ran all of our errands. He is not happy in this picture, he was tired of all the flashes. He is still in a 2-3 pampers, only found at babies r us and diapers.com. He is now eating solid food twice a day- and sometimes 3. He is still on mommy's milk about 5 to 6 times a day. (Depends on how naps go) It is kinda sad, and now in about a few months, I will have to start planning his first birthday party! He is such a joy and he is growing up way too fast!!!
I have now decided to go back to work just a few nights a week. (Good thing I am a nurse, cant leave my babies now- too attached by staying at home) So really, I will still be a STAH mom, just working a few shifts at night. It will be a good chance for me to actually leave the house and make some money. I am starting to work at an eating disorder treatment center, so not your typical nursing job, but a VERY interesting one and I am looking forward to it! For the past 6 months, TK has not had to get up with Jax or get up early in the morning with him, but that is all about to change!!!!
Tomorrow on Jax's 1/2 birthday- they are predicting snow- that might actually stick. So tonight we went to get wood for our fireplace- a first for the Wood Family! (And, yes mom, I have already been to the grocery store!) We thought it was time to put our fireplace to good use and what better time- than when it is snowing? Also tonight while TK was buying wood for our fireplace- he noticed that they had a few sleds left, so now we own a snow sled! A few other dads were in the store buying them too, and when we left they were sold out. Maybe we can use it, then sell it to the neighborhood kids for triple the price since they are on high demand- just kidding!

Moving on Up!
Jaxson is now rolling everywhere he wants to go!
The picture in the bottom right- he started on the
blanket and look where he was by time I got my camera- maybe
all of 3 . 5 seconds.
Notice the picture in the highchair, I was preparing his baby cereal-
and he fell asleep! That was a first- too sleepy to eat!
Staying Safe in Bad Weather
According to James Spann- take cover!
Brantley was out of school at 1 today, so I rushed along with every other mom and dad to school, to check him out about 12:20, I was also worried about my neice who is in the 5th grade, so after getting Brantley out of school, I rushed to the intermediate school to get her. Luckily we only live about 3 miles from the Elementary and not even 500 yards from the Intermediate- so all went well. Now I have all 3 kids with helments on. May think I am CRAZY- but according to several things that I have read lately, it says to put your child's bicycle helment on them. So we are all prepared. Hope your family stays safe!!!!

Yuck!
On Saturday, Jax tried his first solid food, Organic Sweet Peas, Yuck! He hated them! He has been on organic rice cereal and oatmeal for about 3 weeks now, so I thought it would be okay to mix in some organic solids. He thought differently. it was not what he was used to. We are trying to only give him organic foods and juices. He recently started organic pear juice 1/2 with water because he had a think runny nose. It helped too! Jaxson loved it, but he only has 2 ounces a day mixed with 2 ounces of water after his baby oatmeal for right now. So far, he is eating well, but he hates Peas. So daddy went into the cabinet and took out all the sweet peas!
My First Peabody Duckie
Everytime we go to The Peabody in Memphis- we always buy a couple of ducks. This was Jaxson's first. Brantley got a cute one that quacks all the time too!
First Day at the Park
Jax loved the park! He just wanted to watch all the other children! He was still kinda small for the swing, so we adjusted it to almost fit him and then TK and I were at each side! (He wasn't sure about the slide)
Sleeping Better
For the past few weeks, Jax wakes up about 3 times in the middle of the night. I thought it was teething, but then realized he has only done this since we took him out of the bassinet. So on Saturday, we went to Babies R Us (which is now one of my favorite stores, Saturday was my first time to ever go, I know- Crazy) Anyways, we bought a new Pack in Play by Graco- (our other one stays in MS at Grandmother's house) that is new- and the bassinet is alot sturdier than most. Here is a picture of our sweet baby sleeping in it, and a picture of Daisy Rose trying to be a baby. Keeping our fingers crossed- but since we bought it he has taken all naps in it, and slept thru the night again!!!
