Eight Months

I will probably never tire of pictures of babies crying and the funny faces they make...
At eight months Paxton loves to be held and while being held he likes to pinch the fat on the back of your arm. He refuses to lay his head on your shoulder for more than the briefest second, if its longer than that he is sick or exhausted and then its probably for about three seconds. He also is not a cuddler, he will allow you to cuddle him to sleep but he does not cuddle you. He does cuddle his blanket though and gets very excited when he sees it. And yes he is still a stud muffin and probably will be for a while.

Homework

Tavish's first homework assignment was a self-portrait...here's what he drew. I can't tell you how much I love this! He has just recently moved from drawing checklists and sound waves to drawing smiley faces. I love that he actually drew himself smiling (the other day he told me he likes to be grumpy...and not for the first time). I love that he thinks his hair is that crazy. I love the round eyes and button nose. And BTW red is the new favorite color...in case you couldn't tell.

Pre-K

First day of Pre-K.

What does he come home with???

Homework. 

Seriously.

And I thought preschool was all about giving moms a break.

Guess I was wrong.

But he had a good time despite being nervous about a new school and new friends, because the teacher promised him at the meet-the-teacher-open-house he could play with the marbles the first day of school. So guess where he made a beeline to once his new Curious George backpack was tucked into his cubby...

right to the marbles. 

This boy doesn't forget stuff.
