Rockies Date with Campbell Grey
Campbell Grey emailed a few weeks ago hoping to take Jax to a ball game for some brats, breast milk and baby talk. Being that she's a very attractive young lady with such a fine pedigree... Jax quickly accepted. The two Brooke's had to do some serious chaperoning to make sure that there was no hand holding in the backseat.
They were traveling in their favorite automobiles (one of these is the new over-sized models).
Remember Jax, initiating conversation is the hardest part. Once at the game, there was plenty of time for baby talk and cooing.
What did he just say to me?
Things are starting to move along nicely.
That's so funny I've got to bury my face in your shirt!
And finally "the move"...
Very smooth.
That. Was. Awesome!
As responsible parents - we were forced to pull them apart. Let's go back to the kiddos for their reactions.
"What the heck was that? One minute we're talking colic reducing bottle delivery systems and the next thing I know we're on first base."
"I'm on top of the world!"
All in all, a successful first date for Jax... and if you haven't seen... the little guy's first Rockies game was one of the best regular season games in franchise history. Thanks Grey's!

A Laughing Fool
Jax has a good laugh watching dad play with his mom's dog. We were a little worried that he might start crawling before he starting laughing. No more concern.

Jax tries food
Well, I guess we can call "Rice Milk" food.
That was his 4 month birthday, so we figured we'd give it a shot. Summary would be that he really likes rice milk, or at least he really likes the spoon -- and once he gets it in his mouth, he is trying to figure out how to swallow it.
Here's a long version for those that really want to see it (ie., grandmothers). We also added a bit more rice to this bowl.
He continues to enjoy eating, although he gets more on himself than he does in his stomach.
Good times!

Jax Goes Ranchin
Luckily for Jax, he has a lot of farming/ranching blood in his background (thanks to the Hoods and the Elliotts). Unfortunately for Jax, his mom and dad fashion themselves as suburbanites and city folk, respectively.
On the bright side, the Cushman's Twin Creeks Ranch provides ample opportunity for Jax to... to... well, I guess fishing/shooting/horse riding and 4-wheeling are out when you're only 3 months old? Raw deal, Jax.... someday, my son. Just be very very nice to Sam Cushman. She's not the one you should be kicking in the shins. That is, unless she likes it and kicked you first (we'll talk about technique in this area in a few years).
At least for now, you got to ride on a plane! True, your dad is a marginal husband and your mom had to fly with you alone. At least you share her love of escalators.
It should be said that Jax was completely easy on the entire round trip. His penchant for sleeping in cars clearly translates to airplanes. Plus, if he gets ranching from the Elliotts and Hoods -- he gets some flying prowess from his Grandpa and Uncle Graff.
Here he is taking it in on his own row...
And then falling asleep...
Once at the Ranch, Jax wanted to go for a hike.
Similar to his dad's approach to household chores, Jax finds it more appealing to sleep while mom does all the work.
And here is a potpourri of other good times at the Ranch.
(I know, no Jax -- but what a great shot of the Yak)
