Sorry I haven't posted anything lately....I feel like I've been so busy and really haven't had anything interesting to post. And now I have something interesting to post, you ask? No, not really. But I feel like I should post SOMETHING to keep the Biddle Brilliance allure going. So I suppose I'll just update all my adoring followers with iddle Biddle antics, oohs-&-ahhs, and funnies.
So my little guy is 27 months now. I know...I hate it when moms say XX months when the kiddos are over 2...but how else do you describe them when they aren't exactly 2 and babbling still. He's older than that and he plays a mean game of 'Pete & Repeat.' You say it. He says it. You say it. He doesn't say it. You think he's ignored you. Then 3 hours later....he says it. It's grand to realize you ARE actually getting through to him!
I had to take Jaxen with me to my Ob/Gyn the other day and I was explaining to him that he came out of mommy's tummy. He didn't seem to listen or even much care. But I tell you...as soon as we walked into the Dr's office he was spouting out 'Jaxen came from Mommy's tummy!' So this really makes you aware of the fact that he is listening to EVERYTHING you say!
We finally got around to taking him to his 2 year check up. Yes, I know....we are 3 months behind. Well I have a good excuse. I forgot his appointment the first time. I called and rescheduled. Then you guessed it, I forgot again. But the third time is the charm. We went to see Dr. West (and Jaxen had been practicing saying 'Dr. West' all morning) so every time someone walked into the examination room he greeted them with 'There's Dr. West!' Haha He's a clever little booger. He did awesome. Sat still and let the doctor look in all the nooks and crannies and he got a clean bill of health. He's in the 75th percentile for height and weight. Yep, he's a big'un.
Around the house Jaxen has been keeping mommy & daddy verrrrry busy cleaning up race cars. His new addiction. Everywhere we go - he takes Lightning McQueen. He takes him to bed too. I have 3-5 race cars in my purse at all times. We bring one home from Nana & Papa's house every time we visit....we probably have 40 race cars. It's especially fun to have that many because yes, they can be spread in EVERY room of the house all at once. No...it doesn't hurt to step on one barefoot. Not at all. But they do work as a good bargaining measure. 'Jaxen....come take a bite or you have to hand me that race car.' To which he immediately responds wimpily (whether or not he's actually holding a race car) 'Uhhh...wace caw....wace caw.' It's hilarious.
In case those of you who are familiar with 'Doggy dog' are curious if he still has to come everywhere we go in addition to the newly beloved Lightning McQueen....the answer is YES! Doggy dog with the gray butt is with us at all times. In the grocery store. At church. Beside the bath tub. When we trick or treat. If we leave the house without him...you guessed it - we turn around and come back to get him. Jaxen is requesting 'Doggy dog!' before we even get off of our street. Poor doggy can't get a break. Both legs and neck have had to be stitched back together. His hiney no longer is white, even after a soak in bleach for 2 hours. And that 6 day old Jaxen's morning breath smell on the tail end of the furry friend...no longer goes away after a bath. He's Jaxen's wooby...and that's all there is to it.
And lastly...Jaxen is so funny lately because he refers to himself in the third person all the time. I find it sooo cute. He'll hand me something and say 'Thank you, Jaxen.' We pull up into the driveway and he says 'There's Jaxen's house wight dere!' When talking about himself sneaking out of his bed and coming to mommy & daddy's bed he says 'Jaxen climb out!' When asking for his vitamin, he says 'Jaxen want bitamin.' I and My don't really exist yet to him. Just 'Jaxen.' Love it!
Well I guess I'll bring this not so interesting post to a close because Jaxen is currently requesting 'Momma hooollldd you.' Translation: Pick me up! Which is all really a ploy to bang uncontrollably on my keyboard. He's a clever little fella....but I'm on to him!
Hope to have something a little more interesting to post around Thanksgiving. I'll tell Jaxen to do something really cute by then :)
