Movie time

Tavish's first trip to the movies...we saw Planes in 3D.
He wore a Planes shirt and brought his puppy, both courtesy of Auntie Lana.
His face looked like this the whole time :)
I love that he's getting old enough to things I want to do too!

Award Ceremony

We had dinner with Auntie Lana and Uncle Joe today to mark a very important occasion.
Tavish presented Auntie Lana with a medal and trophy he had made for her...his very own idea. And then we celebrated!!!

Seven Months

The many faces of Baby Paxton.

We've had many comments that he is looking more like Tavish, and there are times when he does remind me of how Tavish looked as a baby,especially as his hair is getting lighter. But totally different temperaments and personalities. And those blue eyes and that big smile...we can't get enough of it!

Getting ready

Auntie Lana came to visit today and brought Tavish a new Curious George backpack which is much more cool and grown up than his old puppy dog backpack so he was super excited. I woke up from my before-work-nap  to this...Tavish packing to get ready for Poland. Mind you we are not actually going to Poland until next year but he likes to get ready. Often when he gets a favorite treat or toy he will say "I'm going to save this for the airplane to Poland". So here is what one needs to go to Poland if you are four:

blue blanket
toy camping lantern-"for when it's dark"
red heart necklace-"in case it's Valentine's Day"
blue felt Christmas tree ornament-"in case it's Christmas"
rubber bracelet-"so I can look cool"
a few random toys-"for when I wake up in the morning"

I'm not really sure what the ribbon is for but all of this was packed in earnest and with great anticipation for the next trip to Poland...

Quote of the Day...

I'm trying to help Tavish get dressed in the morning...he has definite opinions now about his outfits that don't always coincide with mine. Today he has picked a shirt and shorts combination that totally clash, I'm trying to convince him that he should either switch out the shirt or switch out the shorts...he is refusing and the situation is escalating until finally...

Me: why don't you want to switch your shirt or shorts?

Tavish: because I want to be weird!

Ok. Done. He definitely looked weird. But happy.

Six Months

This cute boy has now discovered his not-happy shriek and uses it...usually to let us know he is hungry or tired. Still pretty mellow overall.

He has also discovered his feet...first his left foot but now he loves both feet equally and loves it when I unzip his little sleep sack in the morning and can play with them. 

He rolls over back to front now too.

Loves to eat everything expect peas (I don't like them either, little guy!)

His hair is getting lighter, which makes me a little sad, I loved his dark newborn hair and thought it would be so striking with his eyes that seem to be settling to a lighter blue. In the light you can still see a little green ring around his pupils, so who knows maybe they will change again.
He is now 20lbs 4oz and 28inches.

We love this boy!
