6 weeks!

Greetings! Jaxen is 6 weeks old today! I can't believe he's already that old! Doesn't seem like more then 2 weeks ago that we went through the process! I had my 6 week check up and everything went well.
Jaxen is getting bigger and bigger each day! He is smiling and cooing when he is in a good mood. We are trying to introduce a bottle with my milk to him so Brandon can help with feedings and because I have a ladies retreat to go to next weekend and would like to leave Jaxen here with Brandon. We've tried a few different types of bottles with no success. Last night Brandon did get him to take 1 oz. out of a different bottle and we jumped for joy!!!
Our '01 Chevy Blazer bit the dust last week on the trip my dad and I made to Indiana to introduce Jaxen to his extended family. There was no way it would make the 6 hour drive back home, so we sold it as is to one of my cousins up there. There is a trustee in our church who is good friends with the owner of a Kia dealership here in town, he pulled some strings and got it worked out for us to get a brand new 2009 Kia Optima at wholesale price. The dealership didn't make a penny off of us which is an absolute blessing!!! God provides! We are dreading the monthly payment but we also know it is much safer for our family right now.

2 1/2 weeks

Things are going really good here in St. Charles at the Shatto house! All of our family has been and left now so it is finally down to the 3 of us. We are so thankful that our family was able to come and spend time getting to know Jaxen and help us out around the house. Jaxen is doing amazing! I just can't get enough of him! Every time his eyes are open I just can't stop talking to him! When he sleeps I find myself just staring at him cause he's so darn cute! He's eating really well. Right now he is eating eery 3 hours for 30 minutes. He sleeps so good at night! He only wakes up to eat and by the time he is done eating he is already back to sleep! As of right now I don't mind getting up every 3 hours during the night and spending time with him, I know that I'm the only one that can feed him and give him what he needs!
Brandon is doing amazing! Did I mention in my last blog that the day Jaxen was born he gave me a beautiful necklace that has Molly's, Toby's birthstones in paw prints and Jaxen's birthstone is a little boy with a baseball hat on. He is such a great dad! It is so sweet to see them nap together! He is great at changing diapers! He diffinetly takes his turn! Seeing him with Jaxen makes me fall in love with him over and over again!
