eight months old

8!!

Wow, time flies by fast! 

Some things Paxton is doing at 8 months...

*Starting to crawl and getting better with each day, he knows how to move his hands now.
*Can go from laying down to sitting up.
(in action)

*Saying 'Mama' more often now (YEAH!)

*LOVES food!!  I think he would probably eat all day if I let him.

*Waves his hand 'hello' and gives high fives.

*He still shakes his head 'no' (i LOVE this).
*EVERY time I change his diaper, he does this...

He just always wants to be on the move. 

*He LOVES LOVES bath time!!!

 Here he is with his cousin Maya.

*Laughing more and now he has this cute, fake sounding laugh... it's so funny!

*Has the best hair ;)  It has come in very nicely, I need to give him a haircut.

*Has 4 teeth! (Here's the top two)

*Peeks through his crib when he wakes up to see if we're coming.  And just learned to stand up in his crib (the mattress is now lowered!)

We are so grateful to have Paxton as our son.  He brings us SO much joy!  We love him more and more everyday!

You deserve a lullaby

November is National Adoption Month, which I think is a perfect month for it... being the month of giving thanks, of gratitude!

Ciara, we are forever grateful for you!

"Mercy decided our stories would meet.

Two roads converged at the point of our need.

Merging our lives in the ache of this love."

This song touched my heart. LOVED it!!

Look at ME!!

Paxton is attempting to CRAWL!!

 He sometimes gets so frustrated with crawling that he starts to whine.

We took his pants off to make it easier for him to move.

 

The many CUTE & SILLY faces of Paxton...

 Showing off his 2 teeth! 

 He actually now has his 2 top teeth coming in.  One has poked through and the other is on it's way (I couldn't get a picture of those two).

 YAY!

 TEETH!

 SPITTING!

 CHEESE FACE :)

 EWW...eating his burp rag.

CUTE!!

Dragon Tales

My cousin and I just happened to buy the same Halloween costume for our boys.  Which actually made it really fun for pictures.  Sam and Paxton made really cute dragons. 

Cute Sam!  Love that smile :)

Paxton looked so chubby in his costume :)

Thanks for the cute pictures Angie!

Day Trip to Logan

October 26, 2010

First we stopped in Brigham City to see Paxton's Great Grandma Lichfield.  She is in a nursing home and we don't get to see her that often.  So we decided it would be good for Paxton to be able to meet her.  We put Paxton in his costume and all the cute old people LOVED that!

Then we drove into Logan and had lunch with Aunt Jamie at Great Harvest where she works.

and then we were off to...

The Great Pumpkin Adventure

 wheezer from Toy Story...we thought this was fitting ;)

Trying to stay warm.

It was so cute, all these scenes were made out of pumpkins! 

Monsters inc., Lion King, Up, Sponge Bob, Lilo & Stitch, 101 Dalmations, and lots more!!

Yoda!

Afterwards we waisted some time at Lowes and then met back up with Aunt Jamie for dinner at her apartment and then visited Paxton's cousins, The Stotts.

It was a very fun day trip!

"Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King"

This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween!!

 This is the pumpkin that I carved and Remi painted it to look like Jack Skellington.

 Remi made this Jack Skellington for our front window.

 We took Paxton Trick or Treating to 2 houses.  Just to our next door neighbors so they could see how cute he looked.

Every Halloween we always invite a couple over for taco soup and games and/or a movie.  This year our friends Jake and Nicci came and later my sister Jamie and her man Dan came for games.

(Did you notice... I chopped 8 inches off my hair?! I love it and have not regretted it at all.)

Jamie & Dan won the game!

Then we watched...

This was my first time seeing this movie and I missed the middle of it because I fell asleep.

We had a way fun Halloween!!
