conversations

I need to get back to my blogging again!  I've been terrible.  I have been so bad at taking pictures lately because our camera broke, all I have is either our little sport underwater camera or Rem's cell phone (that is when he is around).  But I do have a little bit of catching up to do and I'm starting to write down some of the things Paxton is saying because he just cracks us up.  So I may post his sayings with no pictures, just so I have record of it and it's fun to share!

So lately there have been a few people around us that are pregnant so we have been telling Paxton that there are babies in their tummies.  So one day...

Paxton:  (touching my tummy) baby in your tummy?
Me:  No, I don't have a baby in my tummy.
Paxton:  (touching my breast) baby?
Me:  No there's no babies in there either, that's my chest.
Paxton:  You have two chests!

:) haha Yes I do, silly kid!

Paxton just loves to talk to people.  The other day while sitting out in our front yard, our neighbor Todd was out.  Paxton says "I'm going to talk to Todd".  He walks over and just starts having this full on conversation with him asking him what he's doing, they were talking about his tree if he should cut it down or not, Paxton said not.  He was smelling his flowers and said that they smelled like candy.  And on and on.  I love this about him!

So in the mornings usually just one of us gets Paxton out of bed.  One morning I went in and was just talking to him as he was waking up when Rem walks in the room.  Pax looks up at him and says, "Oh man.  What's going on here daddy?  Oh man.  Oh man".

Oh we got Paxton a new bike,  a balance bike.  He is just loving it!  It's fun to watch him figure it out and get better and better at it!

the ZOO


We went to the Zoo with my friend, Renee and her two kids.  I was excited to see the new addition!  It was a really nice addition, but I was kind of disappointed.  It looked like it was cleaning day because the water was all murky and you could barely see the one seal that was swimming around.  And then all the bears were sleeping and the sea otters weren't even out or at least you couldn't see them.  So I can't wait to go back and hopefully have a different experience.  I've heard that Polar Bear swims and plays in the water, that would be really fun to see!


This cute girl was telling Paxton and Jackson about the Eagles.


 Paxton loves the Polar Bears.

And he hates the Carousel!  I know he use to hate it, but in Disneyland he went on one and loved it, so I thought he'd be fine.  Nope, I was wrong.  He just kept crying so we sat on this bench and I said to him, "You're being a sticker" and with his angry face, he looked up at me and firmly said, "NO, I'm Paxton!"  I couldn't help but laugh.

He's been in this phase lately that if you call him anything but his name he will tell us that he is Paxton!  Even sometimes when you tell him that he's cute.  Although the other day when I told him he was cute, he said, "no, I'm cool".
