Back to Work Disclaimer
So I'm finally heading back to work after about 4 months off. Just when Jaydon is learning how to play with his toys, loves to be tickled, and in general is a great time to hang out with. All well - at least he'll be extra motivation to practice work/life balance (something his daddy is completely oblivious too). Going back to work means less time with Jaydon and a LOT less time messing around on the computer. My goal will be to try and post a couple time a month from here on but no promises... New pictures usually make it to facebook before being loaded here since blogger takes so long to upload so if you're missing Jaydon look for us there. Just wanted to let all you Jaydon fans know :-)

Old Toys, New Toys and Static Electricity
Finally settling in back home and enjoying not living out of suitcases. Jaydon's having fun with his old toys - that seem so easy to play with now. 
We used to celebrate when he was able to hit the toy cat just right so it sang. Now it might run out of batteries from singing so much. We also got some new toys. 
The exer-saucer. This toy is a replacement for baby walkers, it allows them to stand and spin around but no walking (and falling down stairs). 
We also discovered a small problem with having your couches vacuumed everyday - static electricity. 
Jaydon's hair will completely stand on end - it's pretty funny, we just have to be careful not to shock him too much.

Final Stop - Louisiana
The final stop on Jaydon's grand tour of the states was Louisiana. Jaydon got to experience his first road trip which was a real challenge for everyone since he hates his car seat. 
But it was all worth it so he could meet his Aunt Renee and cousin Tanner. 
Tanner was great with Jaydon and kept asking if he could play with his baby cousin - we had to keep reminding him that was still a little small to play with. Next stop was Steve's Grandpa's house. 
This part of the trip was bitter sweet. It was great to see everyone but Steve's Grandpa passed away in March and never got to meet Jaydon. 
He spent a lot of time with his great grandmother Marilyn... 
and also got to meet his great aunt Claudinelle. On our drive back to Houston we stopped back by Renee's again. 
Melissa and her kids Karlee and Trevor were visiting from Alaska since school was finally out so we had a rare opportunity for a picture op with all the cousins. 
Karlee also got to have on last snuggle before we got back on the plane for our 16 hr flight home to Doha.
