5 Years!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

It has been a great 5 years and I can't wait for more!

Rem- you are a great husband and now an awesome father!!  I'm so excited to begin this new chapter of our lives together.  My love has grown stronger and stronger for you over these past 5 years. 

You are amazing!

Thanks for everything!

I was takin' a bath

Paxton hated his first 3 baths, but now he LOVES them.  In fact he practically falls asleep!  Daddy even loved helping giving him a bath :)

 I LOVE the smell of babies, especially after a bath...mmm!

And I had to take a picture of his cute Belly Button!
  He lost his umbilical cord yesterday... Yeah!!

Do the hoedown!

Pop it, lock it, polka dot it

Country fivin', hip hop hip

Put your arms in the sky, move side to side

Jump to the left, stick it, glide...

Aunt Jamie and Aunt Erika came over yesterday to play with Paxton.  What a handsome little boy and such a good dancer ;)

Curious George aka Lilo

Lilo has been so curious of Paxton, she's always wanting to get as close as possible.  If we let her, I'm sure she would go crazy licking him!!

I think she is even a little jealous.  After Rem burped Paxton, he picked up Lilo to do the same and surprisingly she stayed still (Lilo does not hold still for anything).

Then the other day he also swaddled Lilo in a blanket and once again she held still.

Could we say Jealous?  I think so!

Lilo is a very loyal dog and watches over our Pax.  We found her sleeping by his crib the other day when we had put him down for a nap.

Sometimes Paxton doesn't like Lilo as much as she likes him ;) Just kidding!  They get along great, they are going to be best friends one day!

We bought Lilo a little, I mean BIG distraction for when she can't be around Paxton.  She's so funny, she will circle around the house trying to find a place to bury it.  The other day I found it in Paxton's closet :)

ONE week old!

Today I saw my toy and I reached out and I grabbed it.  Yahoo!

Paxton had a follow up doctors appointment on Monday and the doc said he is doing great!  He is supposed to be back up to his birth weight by his 2 week appointment and he was at 7 lbs. 5 oz. so only 1 more ounce to go!  He has been such a good little boy, we LOVE him so much!  He got his first walk in the stroller today and we plan on going again tomorrow. 

 We can't wait for Spring to be here!

The next Michael Jordan!

Don't those legs look athletic??  Basketball perhaps??

Well we think he might become the next Michael Jordan!

I LOVE that tongue!!  It's always stickn' out.

Do you see the resemblance??

The LUCKiest people!

Even though Paxton made us wait and was born about 5 days late, he came on the perfect day!  March 17 which in our home will now be known as St. Paxton's Day :)  We are so LUCKY to have him! 

Saying our "See you laters" at the hospital.  I thought I would have been emotional this day and I was a little bit, but we were also very happy!  But now everytime I look at these hospital pictures with our sweet Birth Mother- Ciara, I get emotional.  She was so strong throughout this whole process, we are so so grateful for her!  Paxton has been such a blessing to us, he is such a sweet baby!

All ready to go home!  Notice his blanket matches his shirt- not planned.  Cindy (Ciara's Mom) bought  the cute outfit he is wearing and we brought the blanket and didn't realize that he matched until we were putting the blanket on him.

Grandma Moss (my mom) was so sweet to make a "Welcome Home" sign for Paxton.

Our cute little family

Great Grandma Moss bought Paxton his first St. Patrick's Day outfit... so cute!

Happy St. Paxton's Day!!

Paxton Steele

Born this morning @ 6:30

St. Patrick's Day baby :)

He's Perfect!

Ciara did awesome!  And she is doing good, just tired.

So Happy!

The room is done...

but still empty.

Yes, we are naming him Paxton!

Still trying to decide on a middle name.  Either...

Paxton Booker Sorenson (it's an african american name) OR

Paxton Steele Sorenson (Remi was named after 'Remington Steele' the TV show)

What's your vote??

Can't wait to fill all those frames with pictures!

Our nice comfy recliner rocking chair (I made Rem be in the picture :).   I'm sitting in it right now!  We will be getting A LOT of use out of this chair!

Can't wait for you to be here Paxton!

ANXIOUS

Picture Tag

My friend Britnie tagged me...

Rules

1. Open your first photo folder

2. Scroll to the 10th photo

3. Post the photo and the story behind it

4. Tag 5 or more people

(My first folder didn't have 10 pictures so this is from my second folder.)

This picture is from when we were looking at houses to buy in 2005.  This is actually our bedroom before we bought the house.  Kind of boring so I posted 2 more pics...

This is when we first moved in and nothing to hang on the walls.

And this is now.  We have been working on re-doing our bedroom.  It's not quite done yet.  I'll have to post pictures once it's all done (this might be a while, since we have been working on the nursery).  And yes, Remi painted that flower on the wall (it's not quite done).  I am loving our bedroom, can't wait til it's all finished! 

I tag...
