best buddies

I was always a little worried having a baby around Lilo because she can be SO crazy!  But she is doing AWESOME!  She has become alot more calm, she still would love to lick Paxton to death if we let her.  She does get a few kisses in here and there, but who wouldn't want to kiss this handsome boy :)

It was funny, about a month ago I was sitting on the floor with Pax laying in my lap and Lilo walked in the room and her tail just started wagging like crazy.  As she was starting to walk away she leans over and licked Paxton right on the side of the face- just one lick and walked away (she knows we don't want her to lick him).  She just HAD to get in her one kiss!  Silly dog, she loves him to.

Please don't break anything!

Remi has been doing Parkour for a while now, he loves it! It's CRAZY stuff! When he comes home from doing it and shows me these video clips, my first thought is 'I hope he didn't break anything'.  I can't believe that I married a guy that can do all of this, I can barely do a cartwheel anymore!

LOVES

 I LOVE when Paxton yawns.

 He LOVES to sit up.

 I LOVE when Paxton talks (coo's) to me.

 I LOVE when Paxton smiles.  (Everytime I have the camera by me when Paxton smiles, I get it out and I can never snap a picture of his biggest smiles)

After every feeding and during just about every diaper change and clothing change, Pax is so happy!  He smiles and coo's and is so wiggly.  He is so much fun, I LOVE it!

 Paxton LOVES to play on his play mat.  In this picture he is staring at himself and even talking to himself-so cute! (The cow has a mirror on it)

Such a cute & fun little guy!

Some things about Paxton...

• 
  
  He still spits-up quit a bit...hence the bibs in most of my pictures.  I don't LOVE this.
• 
  
  He only wakes up once in the night to be fed and this past week one night he did 10 hours straight and the other night 9 hours!!
• 
  
  He LOVES his binkie (most of the time) sometimes it's so frustrating when he acts like he wants it but keeps spitting it out...little stinker!
• 
  
  He LOVES his baths and even sometimes a shower (if there is no time for a bath).  He LOVES to be naked!
• 
  
  He is smiling and cooing alot and staying awake alot more!  I LOVE this!
• 
  
  He is probably around 12 pounds or so??
• 
  
  He still likes his arms to be swaddled when he goes to bed, but not his feet.
• 
  
  He is starting to get a bald spot on the back of his head (dang it).
• 
  
  He puts himself to sleep and has been for quite a while!
• 
  
  He eats about every 31/2 to 4 hours.
• 
  
  He LOVES to read books and look at the pictures.
• 
  
  He LOVES to be sitting up and see what's going on around him.
• 
  
  And he LOVES his mommy and daddy and recognizes our voices.

We LOVE you Paxton!!

family pictures

 My sisters: Erika, Jamie & Me

We took these pictures for our Mom for Mother's Day. 

Look how BIG i'm growing!

 Almost caught a smile.

Love to squish those legs!

2 months old!

I can't believe it's already been 2 months!  Remi said he weighed him the other day and he is about 12 pounds now.  He is getting so big!  (His 2 month appointment isn't until June 1st)  Paxton is smiling alot now and cooing alot.  I read him a few books almost everyday and he stares at the pictures and talks to them, it's so cute!  We love this little boy soooo much and are so lucky to have him!

The Clark Family Outing

So Remi asked my sister Jamie to babysit for a couple of hours on Saturday so he could go do some Parkour with some friends.  And Jamie already had plans of going to the Aquarium with some friends so she took Paxton along with her.  Well it ended up being her friend Kaityln who brought her 4 year old niece and her friend Adam.  So she said they were joking the whole time that Adam was the dad and Jamie the mom and Aunt Kaitlyn.  So here they are...

Loving the penguins!

 

Such a cute little boy :)

Paxton & Maya

Today I babysat my cousins baby, Maya.  She is about 5 weeks older than Paxton, but they are about the same size (Paxton is longer, but she is chubbier).  Her babysitter couldn't take her today, so I told her I would give it a try.  I had her from 7:30-4:00 and it surprisingly went really well.

 One would feed while the other one was either sleeping or content playing.  Except for the afternoon feeding.  Maya was ready to eat when Paxton decided to wake up from his nap and only wanted to be held.  So this is the result...

Remi soon got home at 2:00 and was able to finish helping me and then my sister and mom showed up at 3:00.  It was fun to have Maya over, but I can say now that I don't want twins-it's alot of work and you don't get much done.  I accomplished getting my laundry folded (not put away) and bathing Paxton, but I didn't get a shower until about 6:00pm.

I love both of these babies, they are so so cute!  They will be good buddies one day.

So happy to be a Mom!!

I had the BEST Mother's Day!  I am so grateful and lucky to be able to be a Mom.  It really  is the best thing ever!  I love having Paxton in our home, he has brought us so much JOY.

I'm also lucky to have such a great Mom!  I love her so much, she is my best friend.  I look up to her in so many ways.  Thanks Mom for teaching me how to be a Mom.  I love you!

Paxton is lucky to have these Grandma's that LOVE him sooo much.

Happy Birth Mother's Day!

We celebrated yesterday and had tons of fun!  We had Ciara, Addison and Grandma Cindy over for a big lunch and to hangout.  It was nice to spend some time outside.  Addison LOVED Remi and Lilo!  It was so fun to play with her.  She kept wanting to play 'family' and she gave us new names... I was Inda, Lilo was Max and Remi was Awesome :)  So cute!!  And we just had to bring out the bubbles!

We also played on the trampoline.  I got this short clip of Rem doing some of his flips... pretty cool!

Paxton smiles

Paxton has been smiling quite a bit, I just never have my camera with me.  So I finally got some pictures!  Oh and yes we discovered the bibs :)  I hate the bibs, but he is so spitty sometimes that we just have to use them!

WARNING:  high-pitched mommy voice

(I guess we all do it)

It's funny when I make that noise and everytime his eyes go so wide!

totally handsome :)  I LOVE that smile!

(I tried forever to get this picture to turn the other way, I gave up)
