Many people say they want to acheive certain things before their time on this earth is over. My sister wrote a list in high school of all the things she wanted to do before her time was over, that list changed as she grew into a woman and I realized all the things that I want to acheive. I know that this list will grow longer as I age, but for now it is a start. As the years pass I hope to be able to cross off everything on my list. I encourage everyone to write a list as well. You will be surprised at some of the smallest and largest things you want to happen in your lifetime. Things to look back upon and say "I truly lived".

hello all,

 I have uploaded some new photos as well as some new videos... be sure to check those out.

Bianca is doing great.  She is now reaching out for things on a constant basis and just a warning dont eat in front of her... she likes to try and grab for it... example... eating a slice of pizza the other night... she reached out for it grabbed it in a second and had it to her mouth before i could even think to get it away... apparently I am going to have a quick one on my hands.

She is also rolling over.... from front to back and back to front... she is my little wiggle worm as well.  She talks up a storm pretty much all the time... if only I could understand what she says.  Althought I'm pretty sure most of the time she is telling me how silly I am.

She found her feet the other night.  Hasn't quite gotten them to her mouth yet but she found them and now most of the time you will find her with her feet in hand.

She has her next shots at the end of this month.  She does very well with them.  I hear a lot of babies are very cranky following but all she does is sleep a lot.

I am planning her christening... I do not want her christened into a specific religion... I feel as though that should be her choice when she is older... so my grandmother pastor will bless her and give her back to god.  I am planning it on the 24th and should know by the end of the week if this day is set.  I am getting very excited.  I have been wanting to have this done since she was born.  I hope that all her family and friends will be able to attend.

We are doing well and I hope the same is going for everyone else.  If we dont talk to you by then... Happy Valentine's Day.

Wishing you all well,

 Jax and Baby Bianca
