They are so sweet!

Just thought I would share a few cute stories!

Jackson sometimes can be the sweetest kid, he loves to give kisses now and even puckers up. If I ask him for a big squeeze he throws his arms around my neck and hugs me as tight as he can. He also loves to kiss Camryn and even makes the "mmmmm" sounds when he does it. Well with that said, he also can be a little toot. I was trying to get him to eat dinner the other night, which for some reason is impossible these days, and I went to give him a bite. He knocks the macaroni off the spoon then looks at me with his finger shaking and says "no no, now go". They really are so sweet at this age.

Last night I got home and he only wanted me, he wanted me to hold him or to sit in my lap or be next to me. I felt so special. Then Mimi came home and he slammed the back door right before I walked in then tried to close it on me when I opened it. I guess he wanted time with his Mimi alone! Like I said they are so sweet at this age.

Camryn, who is growing like a weed has started giggling. She smiles all the time and loves when we sing the wheels on the bus to her. Well last night I was feeding her at 3:00am. I actually like this time because no one else is awake so it is nice and calm. So I am sitting there enjoying my moment and she stops eating for a second and gets stiff, then lets out a toot that I honestly thought might have came from Justin, there is no way my sweet baby girl that is so tiny and precious just did this. Then she does it again. I expected this out of Jackson but not my sweet little girl!

The picture of Jackson below is my new favorite. Aunt Juju set up the water slide and he loved it! I think the picture says it all!

Time is flying by!

I have been really bad about updating this blog but I am going to try to get back on track. I can't believe it but Camryn is 2 1/2 months old! It is amazing to me how fast they grow. She is a perfect baby. She sleeps through the night every night. She started doing that at about 6 weeks old, which is amazing because Jackson was about 10 months old and that is being nice. I still think she sleeps better than him! She sleeps most of the day as well. The first 2 months we didn't think she was ever going to wake up. She is getting a little better now but not much. She will wake up for about 30 minutes then her little eyes roll back in her head like she is so tired there is just no way she can open them. She is having no problems gaining weight, she is already almost 11 lbs. She is a great eater and will let you know when she is hungry. She usually sleeps past her 3 hour mark and then wakes up screaming her head off, I think she is telling me "why didn't you wake me up to eat, now I am starving".

Jackson is starting to really like her now. He holds his hands out when he wants to hold her and he checks on her when she cries. He always has to kiss her goodnight and is looking for her first thing in the morning. He also likes to swing her, I keep telling myself that he doesn't know any better when he swings her so high she is about to fly out! He does have his moments when he doesn't like her. I am not allowed to greet her for at least 10 minutes when I get home and if I try to he holds on as tight as he can so i can't set him down!

We did sell our house so we are now living at mom and dad's. It is going good so far and it helps me on the nights that Justin is at work. Jackson of course loves living there and will probalby want to stay there instead of move into the new house with us. He loves hanging out in the shop with grandpa and watering the flowers with mimi! Since we moved Jackson and Camyrn are staying at Aunt Juju's daycare! Jackson loves it, he gets so excited when you tell him he is going to Juju's house. Camryn is okay with it now because all she does is sleep but I have a feeling when she can talk, she is going to ask why I leave her with all these wild boys all the time! I only came back to work 4 days a week and am loving it. I love having a day in the middle of the week to spend with the family!

I am going to do better at keeping this up to date. There are so many fun things going on with both of them right now that I love to share, I just have to find the time!!






Camryn Lynn Cox!

Camryn Lynn Cox arrived at 5:08pm on March 4, 2010. She weighed 7lbs 5 ounces and was 21 inches long and she is perfect! She is beautiful and I immediatly thought she looked just like Jackson. Of course everyone was there to meet her! Justin, Mom, Belinda, Jamie and Julie were in the delivery room with me and once again I couldn't have done it without them. Mom didn't do so well, she stood beside me with her hands over her mouth freaking out b/c the doctor thought the cord was around her neck. Jamie stood closer to my head this time as well as Belinda. Julie stood right next to the doctor and once again tried to deliver the baby. The labor was much better than with Jackson, 11 hours is much nicer than 22. My epidural went smoother as well, after the panic attack I had before I got it I was fine. Once again I was thrilled with not being able to feel my legs so they gave me something to calm me down this time! Once they got her cleaned up in came the rest of the troops - Big Brother Jackson, Grandpa, PaPaw, Julie, Gigi, Uncle Derek, Uncle Michael, Ally, Macie, Austin, Barrett and Dylan. You can only imagine what the nurses were thinking! Jackson was a little bit interested in her at first but obviously didn't understand that she was his to take home. We left the hospital 24 hours later, with a perfect, healthy baby girl!
