Teething, Laughing and Sleeping Late...All in One Week!

We have had an eventful week. For those of you close to me, you know I've been obsessing over when Jaxon would start teething. After Ryan's mom told me he cut his first tooth at 3 1/2 months, I have been very paranoid. Well, right on schedule, Jaxon started teething this week. The drooling has been happening for over a month, but I noticed Jaxon's white gums early in the week. That followed by screaming, let me know we were there! As my baby is the perfect baby, we knew something was wrong when we couldn't settle him down. Don't worry, we have stocked up on Baby Orajel and Tylenol for our little guy. He seems to be making it through, but the tooth hasn't fully broke through yet.

Now for the positive portion of the week. We are on the verge of laughing! Jaxon has laughed in his sleep since he was born, but we have yet to experience it while he is awake. This week he has started making noise with his smiles. Bebe got the chance to experience it while shopping this week.

Usually Jaxon gets up around 5:30 or 6 then comes in and sleeps with Daddy. This morning, our little star slept until 7 am! We were so proud of him. I heard the fussing through the monitor and got up to go get the little guy. When I got in the room, he started smiling as soon as he saw me. I remember staying with my niece Ava awhile back and loved how happy she was in the morning. We normally have to calm Jaxi down, but not this morning!

After a quiet morning, Grandpa Samford, Bebe, Ava and Reese brought "donalds" over for lunch. The girls love McDonald's and are staying with Bebe this weekend so of course they got to go! We ate it on the floor together and were having a wonderful time until hamburgers and fries started flying. The girls also played with a lot of Jaxon's toys, which is good because he won't mind now, but may in a year or so! I was worried after they left that I would find fries in Jaxon's bouncer, but I only found toys that the girls were apparently sharing. They love their "baby Jax". We were then visited by Grandpa and Grandma Davis for the afternoon and dinner. Jax watched attentively as Grandpa and Daddy put up a light fixture and his closet doors. Jaxon loved all of his visitors!
