Another Trip...

After Jesse's Track Meet in Tacoma - we took a trip to Portland for my work (we didn't take any photos there, oops!) Then the first week in June we took another trip for work - back to Seattle again. We got to do a few fun things, along with the work for me - which was actually very fun and relaxing. My sister Heidi also was able to come along for the trip and help out with Jaxon while we were out - and he had a great time exploring Seattle and our hotel room with her!

Enjoying the Mariners game (too bad they lots by quite a few runs!)

It was a gorgeous day in Seattle!

Jaxon having fun in the hotel room with Aunt Heidi.

We attended a formal awards dinner and banquet for work which was on the top floor of the tallest building in Seattle. The views were fantastic - but it was a little strange when the clouds surrounded the building and you couldn't see anything. I can definitely say I had never been up in a building so high, it was amazing!

On the first day there - Jaxon checking out the view from the W hotel in Seattle.

Uncle Jesse's Track Meet

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we travelled A LOT in April, May & June and we were fortunate enough to drive over to Tacoma (and back in one day!!) to see Jesse take part in the State Track Meet for Discuss. Although the weather was freezing and I didn't take a coat and wore sandals, luckily we had lots of blankets and gloves for Jaxon. He is always up for an adventure and loved all the people around! I'm so glad we were there - and Jesse placed 5th and got to take part in the medal ceremony. Great memories!

Getting ready for the first round.

Jaxon was also really working on breaking a tooth through his gums (you can kind of see a little blood on his left glove, poor little guy!) He is still always content and happy though, I don't think he minds the cold, the tooth pain, etc. - as long as got to see Uncle Jesse throw the Discuss!

Jesse and Reid after the medal ceremony.

All the boys!

Jesse - very proud of his medal!

We were so fortunate to have Jaidean (www.jaideanbakerphotography.com) take Jaxon's pictures again, here are a few of my favorites. These were taken at 7 months.

He does this face when he is really excited!

Chillin' in his crib.

Happy to be on Mommy & Daddy's bed.

How sweet and innocent is this?? I think I love it because of his shirt too...

Seeing the ocean for the first time - at Alki Beach.

Checking out the view with Daddy.

Looking towards downtown Seattle.

View from our Hotel Room.

Jaxon favorite toy - his monkey. They have great conversations together ;-)

Pictures!!!

Sound asleep in the hotel room, snuggling with his monkey.

Funny faces at Daddy!


"Dad, are you serious?"

"Oh, you are so funny Daddy." I can just imagine the crazy things that this little boy will do, have you met his dad?

Even in the hotel room, we read his favorite books before bedtime!

It's been a while...

Well I haven't been very good about posting lately, so I have a lot to catch up on. We have been extremely busy (what's new) the past two months. We started at the end of March- we took a trip to Missoula to check out the campus with Jesse, then we spent a week in Olympia for work training, then my birthday, then we spent a week in Seattle for another work training, then Mother's Day, then we spent 2 days in Portland for...yes you guessed it - another work trip, then we celebrated Jason's birthday, then we went to Tacoma to watch Jesse at Track state - he competed in Shotput, Disucss and Hammer - and he placed 5th in Discuss and won a medal, it was so fun to be there to watch, then we spent 4 days in Seattle for work conference, then we celebrated Jesse's High School Graduation, and now we are about to celebrate Father's Day. Jason is also on a softball team with co-workers and friends, so we have those games on Friday nights. It has been such a fun two months, but I do know that Jaxon is definitely a little sick of riding in the car. Jason's cousin is getting married in Great Falls this weekend, but Jaxon just wouldn't sit through another 6 hour car ride, so unfortunately we are going to miss out on seeing his family. We'll definitely be planning a trip to Montana this summer so that Jaxon can meet the extended Korb family!

Just a few updates on Jaxon - he crawls around the house like crazy - he is very quick, he is now getting his 7th and 8th teeth, he can stand for minutes at a time, he took his first steps on Monday evening (while Jason and I were both home, what a good boy!), he LOVES drinking water out of a glass, cup or water bottle, he eats lots of new foods - as well as bread, pieces of banana and pieces of avacado...and boy does he make a mess while trying to feed himself those things, he now wears size 18 month pants and size 9 month - 12 month shirts, he can't stand wearing shoes (although I think they are so cute and always put them on with his outfit, he has them off in about 30 seconds flat), he is well travelled (as you saw in my earlier post) and has hotels and room service all figured out :-)

I think that's about it for all the updates...now on to the pictures. Sit back and relax because there are going to a lot posted tonight!

NEW FOODS

So, once again I'm playing catch up with my posts. I decided to just make one post of his newest foods. We have been having lots of fun trying out all kinds of things - he now eats: rice cereal, oatmeal, prunes, bananas, applesauce, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, chicken, apple joice and for the first time today - bread (which I don't have the pictures downloaded yet) Anyway, he makes some of the funniest faces when he tries something new and we have to be careful about not laughing too much. When he first tried peas he made the funniest face and my dad started laughing hysterically (of course then Jaxon makes that face just about every time Grandpa is around when he is eating LOL!!)

Very satisfied after his prunes. Looks like mommy wasn't too good with her aim!

Next we were on to bananas - definitely one of his favorites!

Then applesauce - another favorite!

Green beans....not really sure - he actuall still does not care for green beans, we can only get him to eat just a little bit.

And most recently - chicken. I must say that this smells the worst out of all the baby foods that he has had. He didn't care for it at first, but after 1 week, he actually likes it now (or at least will tolerate it until it's time for applesauce or bananas!!)

I also love to see the progression in these food pictures. We have been starting a new food about every week and it's so fun to see how much he changes from week to week. He is beginning to seem like such a big boy.
