These are the pictures from our camera. As you can see, we had a wonderful time! We are so glad that Mom, Dad, and Adam were able to join us as Brad and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary! Pax really enjoyed waking up and asking to go out on the balcony to see if Pops, Uncle Adam, and Grandma were awake yet. He loved playing all kinds of new games with Uncle Adam. Thanks for going with us, guys!

Day with Mimi and Papa
Paxton spent the night with Mimi and Papa last night, and then they watched him all day.
Brad is working at Suzie's parents' Christmas tree farm this season, and Pax went with Mimi and Papa, so Suzie and I could scrapbook. Mimi took this picture of Pax and Papa petting the goats. It is too cute not to post!

1...2...3...really is magic!
We really haven't had to discipline sweet Pax too much. For that we are so thankful! He is a pretty good listener, and does what we say the first time (most of the time). We certainly have our moments, though. When those come about, we use the 1. . .2. . .3. . .Magic trick, and it works like....magic!
While on our trip, we had to use this only once. Pax was walking away from our door, when we needed to go into the room. Brad began to count, and as soon as he got to "1," Pax turned around and walked into our room.
So, you see, 1...2...3...magic, really is magic for us at this stage of Paxton's life.

Me-hi-co--Part I
So, there hasn't been any blogging because we've been in Mexico! We left for Playa del Carmen on Saturday, Nov. 21, and arrived back home Thanksgiving night. We had a wonderful time with the family hanging out on the beach and by the pool. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort, and the ocean was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Brad and I think that the water might have been the prettiest we've EVER seen!
Pax was soooo good the entire trip, and even was perfect on the flight down and back! That's the part I was most concerned about, but didn't need to be. Pops had his computer, so Pax got to watch Elmo on the plane. He was so excited about being on an airplane, and enjoyed take-off and watching all the other planes. He took a nap on both legs of the trip.
The weather was perfect our whole trip until the last day. I was sad that I didn't get sun on the very last day, but we enjoyed sitting under the cabanas by the pool and watching it rain. Paxton's favorite part of the trip was the beach and the sand. I could actually sit and read a book while he was playing at my feet in the sand! There is nothing that occupies him like the sand! I wish we could just live at the beach, so he would play like this all the time.
We got to brush up on our Spanish while we were there, Pax included, because they pretty much only spoke Spanish. In fact, by the end of the trip, Pax would walk by a cleaning lady and say, "hola" without being prompted. It was so cute! He got "adios" down pat, too!
He was quite the hit down there with workers as well as other people staying at the resort. The workers would pick him up, and give him kisses. He wasn't afraid of them at all. In fact, the last day, one of the entertainment crew walked by, and asked Pax to go dance with her. I was surpised to watch him take her hand, and walk away to go dance. Then, he pointed back to me, and walked away.
These are all pictures from Mom's camera. The pictures from my camera, and more stories will come in Part II.
