7 Months.



Jaxon turned 7 Months on the 10th.
Time is really flying by and everyday he keeps shocking me with how much he is changing.
In the last month he has tried so many different foods- pears, squash, prunes, applesauce, sweet potato, mango, green beans, peas, and oatmeal. The only thing he had an issue with was the peas, so I mixed it with something else.
Jaxon learned to pull himself up.
He sits all by himself. He hardly even falls back.
He goes from a sitting position to almost on his knees.
He LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba and will watch it while he plays with his toys.
His favorite thing is his stuffed animal blankets that he chews on while falling asleep. He gets so excited when I give it to him.
He LOVES bath time. He splashes and tries to move around and pull himself up on the side.
Jax has been more ok with tummy time. Still isnt crawling but I think he will this next month.
He started saying DADA but then stopped.
We finally put him in his crib when he fell out of his bassinet. He will sleep just fine in the crib but doesn't sleep as long as he usually does.

31 & 32 Weeks.






Jax can now pull himself up in his crib. He likes to walk himself over to the blinds and play with them.
I have been putting him in his crib with toys and let him watch Yo Gabba Gabba while I get my stuff done.
 He hasn't been sleeping good at all anymore. He wakes up 2-3 times a night, and im exhausted from it.
Each week he gets closer to crawling. He will go from a sitting position to his knees but doesn't stay on them for long.
He LOVES other kids. He has been playing with my friends baby and toddler and just gets a kick out of it. Its been a blast doing mommy play dates.
Jaxon finally knows how to roll from his back to his front! He can also go from his tummy to sitting up.
But that also makes nap time really hard.

30 Weeks



30 weeks! That just can't be true.
Wow, he is growing up so fast.
I finally got him to sleep in his crib this week. He has been doing pretty good with it. He takes 45 min- 1 hour naps and sleeps 7 hours at night. Normally he would take 2 hour naps and sleep 8 hours at night. But its a start and he has to get use to the feel of a new bed.
He now tries to pull himself up on everything. His balance is still off but he keeps getting better.
This week he also rolled from his back to his front, but i didn't get to see it because it was when i put him down for a nap. So far he has only done it once.
Jaxon went to his first wedding this week. He did so good!
It was such a beautiful wedding! It makes me want to do it all over again (with Michael of course)

29 Weeks.




My little love is growing up way to fast. This week he has been making the "b" sound. He has also started blowing bubbles, or raspberries as my mom would call them. He was even copying my sister when she would do it.

We almost have a crawler! He wont go from tummy time to crawling but he will go from a sitting position to his knees and then to tummy time. Because he has been doing that, he now is ok with tummy time for awhile. He also has been pulling himself up on his feet from a sitting position. Im such a proud mom :)

Easter was a lot of fun this year. It always is when you get to do it again but with your child. I cant wait till next year when he will get to look for eggs.

28 Weeks.



I'm such a slacker. Its thursday already and I was suppose to do this post monday.
This was the first week that Jax was away from his daddy. Mike was in Vegas for a Bach party for 3 days. It was definitely weird for me since I haven't had a night alone with Jax.
Other then that its been pretty quiet.
Jax now weighs 14lbs 11oz and is 25in long.
He LOVES watching Yo Gaba Gaba.
He is always smiling!

This post is short but sweet.
Here are some more pictures.

27 Weeks.





Im going to keep this short and sweet since I'm already 3 days late on posting this.
This week has been nuts! My little business has been growing and keeping me busy when Jax is napping.
I also started a 3 day cleanse and have been LOVING it. ( Not something you hear everyday)
Ill do a post dedicated to that later.
Jax has been doing so good with eating solids. He isn't picky at all (so far), which is weird because both Michael and I were very picky!
Sometimes I feel like Jax is already going through terrible 2s.
Any mood, he screams. And when I say screams, I mean pop your eardrums screams.
Its definitely not fun when we are out to eat...
Im hoping he gets over this soon. I will never smack or flick him to get him to stop screaming, so I blow in his face. It shocks and takes his breath away so he stops and I can say "no". 
Other then the screaming, he is a pretty easy baby. 
I dont have to stress about naps anymore. He goes down so easy.
I have found his tickle spots which are the same as my husbands. Can you say "Mini Me, well more like "Mini Him".
I can proudly say Jax is the best thing that has ever been given to me.
He is truly God's greatest gift. 
It gets me excited to have one more. Yes, I am thinking about my second already.
I love having a family and I don't have to be ashamed to say I want another kid.
Of course it doesn't help when I have dreams that Im pregnant again. We will talk more about this in another year when Jax is official a toddler.

I love God for everything he has done for us. I love my husband for being the best man he could be. I love my son because he is perfect. Im just so full of love!

A Small Business For A Stay-At-Home Mom

Some of you already know that I started up a small business to keep me busy and to allow me to stay at home with my son.
But for all you who didn't know, let me show you what I do.


I make personally jewelry and buttons.
I LOVE doing it and want to get the word out so I can keep doing it.
Please follow me:

And to order, please email me at:
nothingbutglisten@gmail.com


I will also be doing another post in the near future of other stay-at-home moms who are trying to start up their business. Let me know if you want to be featured! I would love to do a review, just like Mandy at helloJAXON did for me.
