The White Family: September 2009

September has been a little busy. Sorry we haven't posted anything in a while. Let's see...Grammie and Greandpa and Great Grandma White came to visit. We went to D.C. and walked around the monuments. It was pretty awsome. We don't do that nearly enough. We live a half hour from the nation's capital and we don't utilize it nearly enough. So Jason and I are on a kick to see as much as we can before we have to leave in a year. We also went the Marine Corps museum with Maw Maw and Pop Pop. I never have dry eyes in that place. They have new exhibits. When you first walk in the doors they have a small memorial for Marines that have lost their lives fighting the war in Afghanistan. They have their boots underneath their pictures. It is possibly the most gut-wrenching thing I have ever seen. I think of them as someone's husband, father and son. Ok...moving on...we switched Jaxon's formula again. Back to the Nutramigen. The doctor recommended it about a month ago and we tried it for about a week (a little less) and we thought it hadn't made a difference but we really didn't give it much time to do it's job. It is twice the price of the stuff he was using. (Enfamil Gentlease). But I read that insurance companies have paid a percentage of the price for other folks with kids on that formula. So I am making a doctors appointment this week and having Dr. Chabbra write a prescription and assign a diagnosis code so that Tricare will hopefully pick up the tab. Jaxon is starting to coo a lot. He likes to talk. Escpecially when the house moderately quiet, he shouts. It's so cute. He shoves his hand into his mouth. That seems to be pretty fun for him. AND...he is a thumb sucker! That is how he self soothes. I used to suck my thumb and I finally stopped when I was six years old. I also needed braces. But if he's going to do it we can't stop him. It is so cute. I will try and get pictures of him suckin his thumb and smiling. He is starting to laugh out loud.

So happy

Great Grandma White and Jaxon in the outfit she got him.

I love the overalls!

He is always so happy when he wakes up. He doesn't get that from Mommy or Daddy. We are NOT morning people.

He loves fitting his whole fist into his mouth.

We love bath time!

There goes the hand again. It's fun for him.

His animals in his crib will keep his attention all day. We are working on learning what type each animal is and the color. Can't ever start learning to young!
