Jaxon Turns 8!

Today is Jaxon's Birthday. Yes, eight years ago at 3:38 PM (Eastern time) Jaxon made his way into the world. He was a much easier delivery than his older brother, McKay. I felt good enough to go and visit some friends in our ward down the hall from us in the hospital (they had their baby the same day Jaxon was born) the day after Jaxon was born.

Jaxon weighed in at 7 pounds and 13 ounces. He was 20 3/4 inches long. He was handsome from the very beginning. Here he is yawning.

Here is one of our quiet evenings at home a week or so after he was born. He looks so cute with his arms folded under his head.

Jaxon today. We went to Iggy's for dinner (Jaxon's choice) and opened presents there. Here McKay is doing the traditional "Heavy, heavy hang over thy poor head...."

Jaxon had just opened a Jedi robe. This kid LOVES Star Wars.

Josh having a turn "bumping" him on the head.

Jaxon is modeling the Anakin Skywalker glove he had just opened.

All the servers came and wished Jaxon a Happy Birthday and gave him an ice cream sundae.

They gave a sundae to Kayden too (all the boys got one). Kayden made a mess, but he sure is cute!

Eight Things That We Love About Jaxon:

1. He is very tender hearted and knows just when someone needs a kind word or hug.
2. He is a great dancer and loves to sing and dance to Numa Numa, his favorite song. Check out the video he took of himself below. It is well worth watching for a good laugh--the three minutes are worth it!
   
3. He has a great imagination and loves to use it while playing with friends. He loves to pretend to be a Jedi.
   
4. He is a great athlete. He excels in soccer, basketball, baseball and is also a Sr. Yellow belt in Karate.
5. He is a good brother. He is always fair to his brothers and watches out for them.
6. Jaxon is great at telling you whatever is on his mind. He is especially great at telling his grandpa that he can see his nose hairs.
7. Loves school and is a good student. He currently loves reading Fly Guy books.
8. He is a good friend to everyone and we couldn't be prouder of who he is.

Happy eighth birthday Jaxon! We love you!
