8 months and counting...

It is crazy to think Austin is closer to one year old then being a new born. Austin's baby stages are flying by faster then Jaxon's did and I am trying hard to capture all his moments and really live in today. Austin went from being a rolly polly baby that could hardly sit up by 7 months old, to being...well, still rolly polly...but now he is sitting up, crawling, scooting, pulling himself up to standing, laughing, grabbing, and just being too fun! I usually find him standing in his crib yelling out at me when he's supposed to be napping and he loves to play peek a boo behind doors. He's still a happy baby and I really can not complain about 1 thing about him. He's just been so great! Such a good baby!!
We spent his 8 month day at the aquatic center. It was the last day it was open for the season. It was a fun summer spent by the pool :) Preschool is just around the corner and we're trying to switch gears and be ready for fall. I can not believe I am taking Jaxon to preschool next week. I am not going to write about it because truth is... I would probably start crying if I let myself go there. I have loved being home with both my boys and 4 years have gone by so fast...it's time to start letting go just a bit as Jaxon walks into a new chapter in his little life. Today's blog includes some pictures of Jaxon at and around 8 months... I thought it would be fun to compare the babes and remember Jaxon at what just seems as yesterday. Do you think they look alike? I sure see it and then I also see their very own characteristics! Jaxon is on the left and Austin is on the right. Hold onto your lasts... the firsts all come soon enough :)

LOL, before I read the blog I skipped to the pictures and without thinking I looked at one of Jaxon and thought to myself "whoa that looks like jaxon, they look more alike then I thought" then I scrolled further and realized what was going on and felt pretty silly. Both your boys are adorable, how fun!
