We thought life was busy enough trying to keep up with Carter. But that was a breeze compared to Jaxon. Since he has been able to walk, he was tried to get into anything and everything. He finds the smallest and least possible places to crawl into. Just when we turn around thinking that he couldn't possibly get into anything, we hear a bang, crash, splash or that high-pitched whine indicating his frustration. He has so many different facial expressions that tell exactly what he is thinking and his eyes spell trouble.
To give you an idea of our life, today, I finally found our other phone which we had been looking for, in a drawer in the bathroom. The ringer had been turned off and the battery was dead. No wonder we couldn't hear it. He stores things in the craziest places. I have found toys in my casseroles, snacks in Carter's clothes drawer, diapers in my closet, toothbrushes and soap containers in our snack cupboard, and his soothers in the fridge to name just a few. Our toilet has a lock on it now, which is a good thing or else we would already have a phone, a tv remote, toy cars, a mitten, tylenol bottles, toothbrushes and water cups in it along with the full roll of toilet paper (still on the roll, straight out of the cupboard) that he actually did manage to put in there. Yes, he has tried to put ALL of those things in there.
Carter just laughs at everything Jaxon manages to get into and wonders if he was like that too. Thankfully we can say that no, he was nothing like that. Jaxon is definitely one busy boy. We can only imagine what is in store for us once he is let loose on the outside world this summer. I think we should get our rest now. Thankfully the boys get alond very well. Carter loves to play with Jaxon and is getting better about not playing so rough. Jaxon can not get enough of Carter. Wrestling matches, tag, chase, bouts of uncontrolable laughter are all a daily occurrance in our house. Never a dull moment.
Getting into the fridge. This time he actually did manage to get into the strawberries.
One day I actually ended up drying a plasctic door handle and some string thanks to Jaxon who managed to slip it in without anyone noticing.

Yes, this is his way of letting me know that he is thirsty. He thinks it is so funny to be able to get water out of that spout. He looks like a baby calf.
