Although almost a week late, better late than never though...here is Jaxon's 15 month update. He had his checkup and vaccinations Tuesday. Get this. He still only weighed 17 lb 7 oz (way off the chart) and he was only 29 3/4" (15th percentile for height). Of course, the doctor was concerned. He told me that I need to supplement his diet with PediaSure and follow up with an endocrinologist because his growth hormone blood test was low back in January and he told me then, we would wait 3 months and if he didn't gain weight, he would refer him. So needless to say, we are going. I still say he's fine, just petite! Funny thing is, none of his 6-9 month shorts for summer fit, he looks like a little thug in them. I will have to check out Kid to Kid for 3-6 month I guess (lol).

Mr. Independent!
Jaxon has become quite the little independent man...he sometimes refuses to eat if you don't let him feed himself (which he can't afford) And...he wants want the big people got, HUGE subs and all. And we are experimenting with the spoon and fork which he uses at his leisure. Here are some of his latest pics feeding himself...
Hoagie...
Ice Cream and Chinese...

Easter Weekend
It wasn't the greatest weekend, by any means! Jaxon was very, very sick, even had his first trip to the Emergency room on Saturday. They thought he might have meningitis, but the only way to test for it was a spinal tap. I did not want to put him through that, so we opted for normal bloodwork and that was bad enough. He kept getting this resistant high fever at night (103-104) and he was burning up after 3 days of an antibiotic. He had pink eye, ear infection, and sinus infection all at the same time, and a virus on top of that. Needless to say he is spending the week with Pappy Reed since I don't want him around other kids and he needs to be kept under close watch. Poor baby! Among all this, he managed to have a good time. We...
Helped Nanny and Pappy Reed around the house. He is a little tool man like the men in our families and he loves to help in the kitchen. He always has to be where the action is!
He also loves to feed himself now! I love it, he makes such a mess!
He got many easter baskets from his families, even got to sing some karaoke with his uncle Brandon...
And perhaps the cutest of all was how Jaxon so enjoyed the gift he got for Christmas that he didn't quite know how to work then. It was like a new toy all over. He is still such a dare-devil, he even tries to ride it standing up~! He actually learned to make it go on his own. Some of his facial expressions are priceless. Check out he pics and video from his 4 wheelin' adventure.
I love bananas!
He might be part monkey, or maybe he just loves bananas, I'm not sure...but, either way Jaxon loves bananas...He has at least one if not 2 a day! Do you see a resemblance?
