8 months old!

Eight months was a big one for this little guy! He learned to clap, started eating some table foods, grew another tooth, experienced his first snow, and just in the past couple days has started to get up on his knees!

Here he is in the cutest little outfit. He was much happier this month.

Three sweet hearts.

Loving the bath

Actually, he LOVES the bath. It is his happy place.

In the snow for a quick picture. He wasn't too sure about it.

January was a beautiful month! We were even able to go to the park several times! Paxton seems to enjoy the outdoors, though he has already discovered a love for eating bark dust. Bummer!

He is saying "bububub" and "mamama" and "p-p-p". He sleeps on his tummy which is so adorable, plus it seems to help him fall asleep a lot quicker. He's sleeping pretty well and napping much better this month than last! Those 30 minute naps were not good! He seems to want to crawl REALLY bad and has begun to be a bit frustrated again so we will see what happens this month. He is growing up very, very VERY fast. As are the rest of the kids in this house!

7 months (a little late)

I am a little late with this update, but I better get it down before I forget. So, in Paxton's 7th month, he has been a busy little guy! He started reaching out his arms for us! SOOO fun! He started to babble a little more. He had his first Christmas! He got to spend time with his Poppy and Mimi, and cousin Masyn.

It was also a rough month full of teething and colds. But he made it through (we all did) and he gained an upper fang in the process :)

Here are some pictures from the month of December...

Paxton loves to hold on to something while sucking his thumb.

Just 8 days until he is 8 months old! Yikes! I will post again soon. (As you may have noticed, this blog has taken a back seat to everything else in life right now. I use it just as my temporary baby book for Paxton for now. I wish I could blog more but oh well. Too much to do!!! I feel blessed.)

Six months old!

Paxton is 6 months old! And here's what he's been up too...

His favorite toy is not a toy, it's paper. Newspaper, the church bulletin, a napkin. If he gets his hands on it he will quickly devour it. And if you take it away - OH MY - he will cry some seriously sad tears!

His happy place is in the bathtub. If he is having a rough night, a little bath will cheer the little guy right up.

He also enjoys the jonny-jumper-thingy. Oh, and he loves eating the seat belt in his feeding chair. That is what he plays with during dinner.

He's started on some more exciting foods lately. Peas were so-so. Carrots made his whole body tremble - yuck! But he LOOOOVES him some squash :)

December has been a cold but sunny month so far, allowing us to head to the park a few times lately! Here are some precious pictures I took of him at the park...

Personal fav...

Another thing he loves is grabbing faces and giving big sloppy smooches. It is endearing... and wet!

And here you can see how much these two look alike! Look at the eyes, the ears, the forehead...they are twins! Love it!

She is thankful...

From Jenna's November school Journal...

"I am thankfull. becase evry thing I need my mom or dad gets it. allso becase I have a house and cloce to wear. and my mom cooks dinner. and my dad goes to work so that we have food and water. and mostly all the time they try to get me what I want. i am thankfull."

Well, I guess I am doing once a month posts now :) Here's pictures from the month of November.
