Jaxon's Schedule

Well, last night was rough. Jaxon woke up every hour. Poor kid still doesn't know what time zone he is in. =[ So, to try and help him re-establish his routine, we have decided to be stricter with the daily schedule. We will do the same thing every day at the same time to try and help his body get back on this time clock. I am even putting his new schedule on the fridge to help me remember. I know its kinda dorky... but it's worth a try. I will post update on how he is doing time zone wise.  Our new schedule will be:



JAXON’S DAY

8:30: Jaxon wakes up and eats breakfast (BM only).
9:00: Tummy Time (alternating tummy/back)

It's been a while..

     Well, it has been a while since I posted last. My friend actually started up her blog recently and inspired me to pay more attention to mine. So I decided to catch up on the past month. Jaxon and I were settled in Germany and my husband came home from Afghanistan  at the beginning of December. =] Our family was united once again.
     We spent a few weeks here in Germany getting to know each other again and find a routine that works for us. We enjoyed Jaxon's first Christmas here in Germany as a family and then on December 28th, we flew back to the states to visit family/friends.We stay at my in-laws for the week and a half or so and then it was back to the airport and home to Germany. We have been back here just over a week now.
     Jeremy went back to work today and Jaxon is still trying to figure out what time zone we are in...so needless to say nights are rough. We are getting ourselves into a good routine.We are watching movies in the evening, after dinner, as a family. Jaxon goes to bed around 8-9, although he will usually be up by midnight =/. Jeremy and I have been going to the gym or working out in some way 5 days a week, Monday-Friday. Now that Jeremy is going back to work I will be working out with my good friend Holly.

Well, that's about it. Just a quick catch up. Hopefully I will stick with this blog and keep posting =]
