ABCD...

The other day while Paxton was in the bath I started singing the alphabet and one time I paused in between letters and Paxton surprised me by filling in. 


He kind of knows 'EFG' and 'blahla blah ba T' (aka 'LMNOP').  He's also counting alot.  He doesn't always count in order but he has a few times.  He surprises me every day with how much he is learning.  I love it!

A few other new things I can think of right now that he says...

Dang-it: he'll say this sometimes when he falls down or something.
Cute:  when we go shopping he'll point at things and say cute, I guess I say that alot.
I did it: he'll say this when he learns to do something all by himself, but my favorite is when he pretends to shoot Lilo and Lilo will play dead then he gets all excited and says 'I did it'!

St. George

About a month ago (I know I know I'm behind on my blogging) we took a short trip to St. George.

We visited our friends that had triplets, they are about 7 months old now.  It was fun to go see them, we took their oldest daughter (about 2 1/2 yrs old) swimming on 2 of the days there.  Paxton was glad to have a friend!

They loved this cool river thing.  There were a lot of kids playing in it, it was fun to walk up and down.



They also played on the splash pad.  They didn't like this as much



Rem and I got to go to Tuachan and see the Little Mermaid, it was amazing!  Paxton wasn't old enough to join us, plus it was his bed time.


Feeding the ducks.

Paxton loves the golf cart, we took lots of rides.  This swimming place was a lot of fun for the kids. See that big yellow bucket at the top of the playground?  Paxton and I got dumped on by that, it was a ton of water!   It surprised us both and Pax didn't like it so much.


We went to Amelia's house to bring dinner one of the days and Amelia was watching a movie when we found that Paxton climbed up to join her, it was cute.

Trying to use chopsticks at dinner.

We had to stop in Scipio on the way home and that goat last time we saw it was just 2 weeks old, it's grown up quite a bit.

Rem tried to pet the llama and it kept spitting on him, so I made him do it again so we could get it on video.
                              



Quack Quack

One fall day Grandma, Paxton and I went down to the duck ponds that are near our home.  Paxton loved seeing the ducks!  Although he wasn't very good about giving them the bread, he wanted to eat it himself.
