sometimes you can't even pretend to be happy for pictures

Tonight we were supposed to take Jax's 11 month pictures.

He was supposed to sit and smile all cute, show off those huge top teeth,

that just keep getting bigger.

But instead, Jax made a humongous mess, pulling everything out of the entertainment

center, which resulted in me saying, "no, no, no" and cleaning said mess up, which

resulted in the pictures you see below.

Jax has learned what "no" means, but only in the way of it means he doesn't

get to do what he wants to do, not that he shouldn't do it.

That's something new since turning 11 months old.

He says "bubba bubba", which may be a coincidence, but it's his nickname,

so maybe he's saying it because he hears it all day?

He's been having to get used to Scott again, since we were gone for 3 weeks

and then a week late, Scott was gone for 5 days.

It's been an ongoing adjustment.

Jax, even though you have been a whiny little monster,

we still love you SO MUCH!

We can't believe how fast you're growing!
