A 2 year old! How did this happen?

My baby boy has officially turned from baby to toddler. The transformation has been incredible. I can't even believe that he will soon become a BIG brother...which I'm sure will grow him up all the more. 2 has brought about it's definite share of challenges. When they say 'terrible twos' they really do mean it! :) Jaxson pushes every envelope and has become Mr. Independent. He LOVES tractors, "airpanes" and trains...I think mostly because his daddy is always sending him videos throughout the day of the tractors he drives and the crop dusters flying overhead. He most definitely is his daddys boy. There is no denying that Andrew got the boy he always wanted.

Jaxson has learned to ride his tricycle, counts to 13, and sings Jesus Loves Me (which totally warms my heart). His favorite part of the song is "for they are weak and He is STRONG." He flexes his muscles and says strong soooo loudly and with such umf! He definitely gets the point across. :)

We are currently in the process of potty training. The kid has been poop trained since Christmas but we have yet to tackle the "potty" part of it. I have been putting it off and putting it off and now it's time to buckle down and get it done before this new baby arrives. He really is doing great. It's mostly me....9-1/2 months pregnant and NOT wanting to have to get off of my rear ever 20 minutes to take him to the bathroom. I know..pathetic!

Well I guess that's it for today...??

Chipmunks, deer & bears...oh my!

We just spent the last few days camping at Battle Creek. We really did have the best time. Jaxson absolutely LOVED it..surprise, surprise! I think that boy would live outside if he could. We hauled up his trucks and tractors and he dug in the dirt and 'worked hard' all day long. After he would get done hauling a bucket of gravel he would hold his back and say, "oh, my back" and then wipe his brow and say, "ooooohhhhhhh." Thank you Megan for teaching him that. We got many a laughs out of it. My boy is seriously drama.

He had a blast riding his trike around the campground. He looked so darn cute in his helmet, which he insists on wearing becuase Lachlan always wears a helmet when he rides his bike -I love that he takes in everything--or do I?

The Tollisons came up for the day on Sunday and the boys played in the creek all afternoon. Oh my goodness!! They were hilarious. I know my pictures don't do it justice, but they were dancing around..singing songs and being sooo silly. It's like they know they are funny. I can't wait to see what kind of men they grow up to be because they seriously have quite the personalities.

Pucker Up!

My boy has become such a FLIRT...and sooo romantic. Everytime he is around a cute girl, his lips begin to pucker and the kissing starts. He is completely out of control. It doesn't matter if we are at a family gathering or at Church...if the girl is 2 or 22. I really hope this isn't any indication of what the future might hold for us. YIKES!!!!

Not to mention that prayer time is his favorite time to give out kisses. He now insists on holding hands during prayer--which I love of course. From the moment the prayer begins, he starts kissing my hand...how sweet is that, right? Ummm yes, it is sweet...but we do want him to actually take prayer time serious so we are attempting to nip that one in the bottom.

Never a dull moment in the Turek household.
