Gymnastic Jax!




Jax began his "Mommy and Me" gymnastic classes last weekend and really loves it! Daddy went with us today and took a few pictures, which is VERY hard to do - this class moves pretty fast, as do the kids! Jax is a natural and really enjoys all the apparatus and obstacles. He has great balance and his teacher is very impressed with his abilities! She can't believe how strong he is, gripping the "high" bar (wasn't too high today - last week it was!) and men's rings (no pix of this yet...sorry....it's really something to see a baby swinging from these high rings, gripping on for life and laughing the whole time....) with no assistance. He's by far the youngest in the class but does o.k. keeping up, although some of the obstacles are too wide for him to reach. He just loves it and MAN, WHAT A WORKOUT! He's all sweaty (and so is mommy) when we're all done and has pitched a fit both classes when it was time to leave the floor. So far, these classes are working out great for him - we've signed up for October and we'll see how he does as he grows.....

Jax at the Beach



Jax's first visit to the beach was with his very good friends, Caleb, Maddison, Malachi and Lise K. He had a blast! He loved the water and had fun playing with the sand and seaweed. Being the experienced mommy that she is, Lise put one of Malachi's sun-blocker shirts on Jax so he wouldn't burn. Everyone did great and had lots of fun!!!
