8 Months... Seriously?

Pin It

Jaxers is eight months old today! Why does time go by the fastest during the best part of life?

Just in the last few weeks he has learned so many new things and gets more and more fun every single day. It is so much fun seeing his little personality come out even more! He is definitely a sweet and very funny boy! He loves when his dad and uncles "scare" him (don't ask) and has gotten even more cuddly and giggly. Just in past couple of weeks he has learned to go from his tummy to sitting on his bum (and vise-versa), crawl, and say BYE-BYE with his hands (as of last night!). We sure love our little Jax and watching him grow. McKay and I watched some videos of him as a newborn last night and got a little sad at how fast the time has gone. I think it's time for Jax to have a new little brother or sister. McKay disagrees. We'll see who wins that one.

Kidding McKay! :)
