Discovering new things

 My Mom bought Paxton this toy and he just LOVES it!!  It's so fun to watch him suck on it and try and get it as far into his mouth as possible.  He gets so frustrated sometimes when the whole thing won't fit in his mouth :)

Just look at that tongue.

bang!

We taught Lilo to do a trick before she can play fetch.  It's so funny to play with her now because she will just keep rolling over til you play with her.  I love it when she plays dead.  I love this dog!!

We really need to start teaching her more tricks because she's a smart dog!  Anyone have any fun ideas of what to teach her next?

A Perfect Father's Day!

"I'm so glad when daddy comes home as glad as I can be!

I clap my hands and jump for joy and climb upon his knee

I put my arms around his neck and hug him tight like this

Pat his cheeks and give him what? A great big kiss!!"

Happy First Father's Day Rem!

Paxton sure loves his daddy! 

Thanks Ciara for blessing our lives with this cute little guy and making this first Father's Day possible.  We sure love you!!

 We sure love our grandpa's!!

Happy Father's Day to my Dad...

and Remi's Dad!

Thank you for everything you have done for our little family.  We sure love you both!!

It's Official!!!

He said, "Sandee Snow will you turn to Moss?"

She said... YES!!

 My brother Trevor proposed to Sandee last night, it was so fun to get to help him out and be there for this.  Thanks Trev!  I LOVED Sandee's reaction, she was definitely surprised!

Welcome to the family Sandee, we are so excited to have you!  Thanks for making my brother so happy, we just love you!


Oh and keep reading, one more post :)

Play Date

Paxton & Maya

They're already starting to hold hands.

Too bad these cuties are too closely related ;)

 (I hate it when I can't get a picture to rotate, it drives me nuts!)

It's so fun to get together with my cousin Kristi and our cute babies.  We try and get together every other Tuesday, sometimes we just hangout and talk and sometimes we get out and do things.  I wish she lived a little closer so we could see eachother more!  Maya is 5 weeks older than Paxton so it's fun to be able to compare the two, they are about the same size, Paxton is just a little longer.

Such cute babies!

Triple Trouble

Keaton, Paxton & Tyson

These cousins are going to have so much fun growing up together!!

Remember this...

Paxton is about 2-3 weeks old here.  I remember getting these cute jammies (size 3-6 month) thinking these are huge!!  Well...

they fit!!  He is 12 weeks old now, almost 3 months.  I can't believe it! 

 

Oh how I love to put him in his comfy jammies and just snuggle him, one of my favorites!  And it's a good thing because we got NINE pairs of jammies in the 3-6 month size!

He is always sucking away on that fist.

I love those eyes!

Somewhere over the rainbow...

Every Sunday we trade off going to my parents and Rem's parents house for dinner with the fam. This last Sunday we were at my parents and we had such a nice evening spending most of our time outside.  We first enjoyed a drive around the neighborhood in a golf cart (no picture).  Paxton really enjoyed this and so did we!!  Ya my Dad bought a couple of golf carts :) when the guy was delivering them to their house my Mom was outside thinking 'please don't stop here' HA!  She then text my Dad 'what did you do?'  But we all really like them including my Mom.  They will be taken up to the St. George House.  Now Remi is begging for one for his birthday... sorry babe not going to happen.

Then we were all outside on the deck and my parents have an amazing view of the downtown valley!  So we were just talking and playing with Paxton, (he liked the swing) and enjoying the nice sunset...

when we saw...

two rainbows!  It was so beautiful outside, the valley was dark and the mountains were all lit up.  Then the sky got darker and darker and the lightening and thunder came and then the warm rain. 

I love summer storms! 

Some randomness from today...

After work I went to pick up Paxton from Grandpa's house and I found them like this :)  Paxton has been sucking on his hands a lot but this is a first of him falling asleep with his hand in his mouth!

 Lilo wanting to join in on play time with Paxton.

 BLAH

I was not expecting this one :)  He got me good, but I guess I deserved it, I was playing with him in the air holding him right over me.  At first he was just drooling making me laugh and then BLAH all over me, I just started laughing even harder, Rem had to come check out what was so funny!

LOVE THIS BOY!!

Memorial Day

We had a nice BBQ for Memorial Day with Ciara's family.  It was nice of them to have us, they were all so welcoming and very nice people!  We are so glad that we can have an open adoption/relationship with Ciara and her family.  Paxton is loved by soooo many people!!

Paxton seeing his birth family again and meeting some new extended birth family!

I should have taken a lot more pictures because there was a lot more family there! Maybe next time :)

Thanks for the wonderful day everyone, it was nice to meet you all!

75%

2 month check-up

(more like...2 1/2 month)

 That's right, Paxton is our growing boy!

Weight: 12 lbs 15 oz. 

Length: 23 1/2 inches

His weight, length and head all measured to be in the 75th percentile!!

He did so good today!  He was awake and happy the whole time the doctor was checking him.  He is definitely eating more than average...average is 3-4 oz. a feeding and he takes 5-6 oz.  The doctor also said an average baby at this age sleeps a 4 hour stretch at night and Paxton is doing 8-10 hours... we are soo LUCKY! 

 He had 4 immunizations today, one oral which he took very well-yum (the nurse said most babies push it out with their tongues) and 3 pricks in the legs :(  these ones made him cry... SCREAM!  But as soon as I picked him up and cuddled him he settled down. 

 And he has been a champ the whole rest of the day, just his happy self!

He is a happy & healthy boy!
