2 weeks old!

I'm going to make this a quick post while the boys are napping.

Jeter is 2 weeks old today! We had his 2 week appointment and here are his stats:

- He weighed 8 lb 13 oz.

- He measured at 21 1/2 inches.

No wonder he sleeps all day, he has grown an inch and a half in 2 weeks! He is such a sweet baby. He only cries when your changing him and he gets cold. He eats 4 oz every 4 hours! I have been so lucky to have two easy, healthy babies.

Jeter is his big brother's #1 fan and has been to all of his tee ball games. He went to his 1st restaurants last week and he has been to the park a couple of times.

Jaxon is the best big brother. He is so sweet and gentle with Jeter. Jeter is so lucky to have such a great big brother. Jaxon started tee ball and is kicking butt. He is the youngest on the team and by far the best on the team (I'm not just saying that because he's my kid!).

I will post some more when I get some time.....

I tried to post Jeter's post after the Easter post, but for some reason it's not working.....

Easter Fun

Jaxon and I dyed Easter eggs with my mom. We decided to make our own dye with food coloring. Jaxon loved had so much fun and he couldn't wait for the Easter bunny to come and hide the eggs.

Jaxon had a Easter party at school. All of the kids in his class are so dang cute. They dyed eggs had a Easter egg hunt and read about books about the Easter Bunny.

Jaxon in all the gear that the Easter Bunny brought him.

Jeter Daniel Soto

Jeter Daniel Soto made his appearance April 6, 2010. I was induced around noon and he was born at 5:03 pm. He was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 20 inches long. My labor was a little complicated because the 1st epidural didn't work right so they had to give me another one. The delivery was a piece of cake, 2 pushes and he was out! I still can't believe he is here yet I can't remember what it was like with out him. Jaxon is of course the BEST big brother, he loves helping me and kissing his brother. So far Jeter is a great baby, he only cries when he is hungry and only wakes up every 3 hours at night (knock on wood).

Proud Dad


Proud Big Brother

He has the biggest hands...

and feet.



We have been blessed with two healthy, beautiful boys and for this we could not be more thankful.

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) :)
