Summers winding down

Where has the summer gone?!?! As you can tell from the lack of posts we have been SO busy. I’ve been trying to decide if I should stop blogging all together or if I should to do one huge post to get caught up. I decided to do one HUGE post. Here is a list of some of the fun things that we have been doing this summer…..

1) Soto/Valdez/Peter’s California Vacation 2010.
This included: Disneyland, Dodger/ Yankee game and Laguna Beach.


2) We have been doing our fair share of bowling at Fat Cat’s
3) We love Sunday Funday’s at Andrews’s pool.
4) We spent a weekend at Stein Erickson in Deer Valley
5) We spent a day a Lagoon, where the fun is!
6) Jaxon has had some play dates with friends from school.
7) We have been watching Jeter grow up before are very eyes! He is already 4 months old! He goes for his 4-month check up on Friday I will post his stats then.

Our attempt at tummy time.

Fast asleep.
He is such a good baby, he pretty much sleeps through the night!

He loves bath time.

Despite the look on his face, he loves to watch TV with his big brother.

The only time this kid isn't smiling is when he's asleep!

Jaxon loves riding his bike to the bakery by our house.

Cheese!!!

Jaxon is growing up so fast! He starts 3yr preschool on the 16th. He is so excited and will be going 4 days a week this year. Ahh, before I know it he will be starting college!

We have had an awesome summer, I have been horrible at taking pictures and will try to get better.

Hopefully more posts to come!

Schools out for the summer!!

Jaxon finished his 1st year of preschool. He had such a great year! He learned so much and has become so much more social. He had great teachers and he can't wait until next year.

Jaxon and Miss Jane

Last day of school party.

Jaxon has had a great start to his summer. He just finished a class at the zoo where he learned about baby animals and animals with paws and claws. He loves the zoo.

He has also been to a couple of Bee's baseball games. He LOVES baseball and was able to run the bases after the games.

We have also been swimming at Uncle Andrew's pool. We have a family vacation planned for the end of the month, we are heading to California! We are going to a Dodger/Yankee baseball game, Disneyland, the horse races and the beach. We can't wait and the best part of the whole trip is that my entire family will be together, my brother Matt is even coming from New York.

Two Months Old

I can't believe that my baby is 2 months old!!! Time is flying by, I wish I could slow it down just a tad. Jeter is changing everyday. He is such a good baby, he is eating and sleeping really well. He is smiling and starting to get his own personality. I think he's going to be laid back and calm like his dad. He went in for his 2 month check up today and here are his stats:



Height: 25 inches, off the chart ( he's as tall as a 4 1/2 month old)!!
Weight: 13.4 lbs, 90th percentile

Head: 50 percentile

Needless to say he's a BIG healthy boy!!!

Here he is enjoying the Bee's game. I hope he loves baseball as much as his brother, especially with a name like Jeter!

Thinking about smiling.

Tummy time.

He's not a huge fan, but it's getting a little better.

All tuckered out after tummy time.

He loves playing under his play center.

Jeter's Baptism

This past Sunday we had Jeter baptized. It was such a special day and so nice to spend it with our family and friends.

Jeter wore the same suit that Jaxon did.

Jaxon was so excited to wear his "church clothes".

Deacon Flime preformed the baptism. There were many laughs because he is a little bit CRAZY!!

Jeter was so good through the thing. This was the only time he was awake.

Jason and I chose my sister, Danielle, to be the Godmother and his brother, Jimmy, to be the Godfather. Jeter is very lucky to have them both in his life.

Thank you to everyone that was able to share in this special day with our family.

Family Pictures

Here are some more pictures that my friend, Brittany Oler, took. She did such an amazing job. I love them all and I'm going to have such a hard time choosing which one's to print. If any one needs pictures taken call her, she is great to work with and has great prices. You can see her other work at www.olerphotography.blogspot.com.

P.S. I can't believe that my baby is one month old today!

Happy one month birthday Jeter, we LOVE you.

Cousin's

Jeter was born 6 days before my cousin's, Brandy and Tyler, baby Olivia. On Saturday we went to the first family party since the babies were born. We were so excited to get the babies together, look how cute they are. I love that they are sleeping the same. We are looking forward to watching them grow up together.

This weekend Jeter and Jaxon went over to their grandma's to play with their cousin's, Lorenzo and Dante. Jaxon has so much fun every time he is with with them. As crazy as all these boys can be, they are all so gentle and loving with Jeter. They loved holding him.

The Soto boys.

Jeter's first....

This last week Jeter had his 1st nap in his crib. Jaxon and Jeter are sharing a room, but we have been having Jeter sleep in our room. I couldn't believe how small he looked in the crib. I think as soon as Jeter is sleeping 6 to 8 hours straight I will move him into his crib. Jaxon is so excited to have his baby brother in his room.

Jeter's cord finally fell off last week so we were able to give him a real bath. During his first bath Jaxon was helping and he was pouring water over Jeter when Jeter decided to pee all over the place! It was so funny and I actually got it on video. Despite the picture Jeter really does like his baths.
