Jaxon turns three in just under one month.

If I could just regress here back to the 80′s and say… LIKE, Oh My God…HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???

It seems like as it’s happening, it takes forever. The mood swings and cranky Jaxon. The clingy Jaxon and the needy Jaxon all take it out of you. I often find myself just wanting to sleep through it. Just forget that he’s there and being a prat. It’s so slow.

But then, you start planning things like THIRD BIRTHDAY PARTIES and you just feel like time is slipping away too quickly. Like tomorrow I might wake up and have a teenager. Or worse, an adult…with KIDS!

For us, things like non stop crying for four weeks and Riverton, with hospital stays and ponsetti boots and MRI’s/CT scans and terrible pregnancy’s feel like they happened so long ago. But then we wonder when it was that Jaxon went from walking to running? Or babbling to chatting. Or blank, spaced out baby has no idea stare’s to deep and meaningful conversation with a human being?

Sometimes life just seems to sneak up on you. Day to day things happen and they take forever to be over. They seem insignificant…until one day you think…FUCK! It’s gone! Where did it go?  How did my tiny little baby boy become three years old?
