Action shots

I got a new camera for Christmas so I have been experimenting with it lately. Here are some action shots I took of Jaxon the other day.

Jumping on the bed.

Slam dunking

Not really a action shot, he just wanted to make this face.

Spring Training

Spring training is well underway not only for Major League Baseball, but also at the Soto house. Jaxon has been dying to play baseball outside and finally this weekend it was nice enough for him to take some batting practice.

Of course batting practice wouldn't be batting practice without the uniform.

Jaxon starts tee ball in a couple of weeks he doesn't need the tee but he has to be 5 yrs old to play coach pitch. He can't wait to find out what team he will be on, he's hoping for the Yankees.

Bittersweet

As excited as I am for Jeter to join our family I have found myself a little sad about it at the same time. It hit me this week that this is the last month that Jaxon will be my “baby”. He has been my everything for the past 3+years (I’m blaming it on the hormones, but I’m tearing up as I write this). I know that they say you will love the 2^nd just as much as the 1st and I know I will, it’s just hard to imagine. I was looking through pictures the other day and I found these of Jaxon when he was a baby.

I can't believe how fast time went and how much he has grown and changed.

On a lighter note, I am so excited to see how alike and how different Jaxon and Jeter are going to be. Jaxon was such a good baby, he slept through the night early on, he was hardly fussy, he went off the bottle and binky cold turkey and was potty trained in one day….let's hope they're not all that different when it comes to that stuff. I can't wait to see what he will look like!!

I'm going to spend this last month soaking up every minute with Jaxon and enjoying being pregnant (minus the heartburn and backaches) :)

Like father like son

Jaxon and Jason are alike in so many ways, they both rub their eyes a certain way when they are tired, they both have skinny bird legs and they both LOVE sports. Jason has made sure that Jaxon follows in his footsteps when it comes to favorite teams to cheer for. They both love the Yankees, hello they both want to name our baby Jeter for gods sake! And they both love the Lakers and Kobe (at least they don't want to name the baby after him). Last week we had tickets to the Jazz vs. Lakers game and we decided to take Jaxon with us. He was so excited. We had bought him the new Kobe shoes for Valentines, but decided to give them to him early so he could wear them to the game. Unfortunately Kobe was hurt and didn't play and unfortunately the Lakers beat my Jazz, but we still had SO much fun.

P.S. 8 more weeks until Jeter joins our family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaxon's 1st adventure of 2010

This past weekend we went on our 1st adventure of 2010. We went tubing at Gargoza Park with the Carrillo's. This was Jaxon's first time tubing and he loved it. We couldn't of asked for better weather. I had to sit out this year, but can't wait to go next year, everyone had so much fun.

Jason and Jaxon

He was so excited.

In line for his first run.

Goodbye 2009...Hello 2010!!

As always the holidays flew by. We had such a wonderful Christmas and New Year. 2009 was such a great year, Jaxon turned 3, started pre-school and we found out that we are adding to our family and we can't wait until April 2010 to meet the little guy. This year is bound to be great and we can't wait to see what it has in store for us.

Here are some pictures from Christmas day..... Jaxon had so much fun at our family party Christmas Eve that we had to wake him up at 9:00 am Christmas morning. He was not to happy with us until I reminded him that Santa been to our house.

Hopefully this year I will be better at blogging, I am always taking pictures there's just never anytime to blog!

So much to say, so little time!!!!!

Ahh, I can't believe that Christmas is a week away!!! We have been super busy this holiday season with fun activities. Here is a brief recap of our fun....

This year we decided to take Jaxon on a carriage ride around Temple Square and to see the lights. Both of these were firsts for us, Jason and I had never been to see the lights. We were lucky enough to get a carriage that was heated. Jaxon loves horses and Christmas lights so he was in heaven. The ride was fun and the Temple was really pretty.

Jaxon and Wessin the horse.

We decorated a ginger bread house.

And last but not least we took Jaxon to see Santa.....Well we took him and he would not go anywhere near him. He talked a good talk all the way to the mall about how he was going to sit on his lap and tell him what he wanted. Ya, that didn't happen. On our way out of the mall Jaxon noticed that Santa was on lunch so he offer to take a picture in his chair!!! I don't think I will EVER get another picture with Jaxon and Santa!

Well that's it for now...We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
