If you're happy and you know it...

He looks like such a big boy in this picture!

Show me those teeth!

I had to take these pictures this morning of him sitting in the cutest position. I love it when he sits on his knees like this. I initally got the camera out so I could capture him standing without holding on, but he wouldn't do it again--of course! These are just as cute, though!

Paxton got to eat his first pizza this evening. I had already given him his dinner. However, like every other time lately that I have food, he thinks he should have some, too. So, I shared my pizza with him! He would bounce up and down, and make noise until I gave him a little bite. He only had some of the soft part of the crust with some pizza sauce on it, but he loved it!!

I played tennis this afternoon, and won; that makes me 4 for 4 this season! Our team made it into the playoffs, even though we ended up second in our division. They start next weekend.

This is a really cute video of Pax clapping, laughing, and talking. He is finally getting his hands together, and will clap when you sing these two songs, even if he isn't able to make much noise. I love how he immediately stops fussing and puts his hands together once he hears the song!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We did a photo shoot for Daddy's book! Read the tag on my shirt!

I love you, Daddy!

Dog from Mrs. Tracey and Pooh from Grandma and Pops

Look at all of our cards!

Happy Valentine's Day! I never realized that Valentine's Day was such a big gift day, but he has some really thoughtful people in his life! He has gotten lots of cards, and even made one for me at Mrs. Tracey's house! He has gotten some stuffed animals, that balloon from Aunt Suzie, some shoes, and a book. Thanks for all the gifts!

Below is a link to the memory book that Pax and I made for Brad. They got me a bunch of nice clothes! A big thank you to my boys!

Tonight, Brad and I are going out to dinner while Pops keeps Pax. They should have fun together!

Disclaimer: Be prepared for a lot of blogging this coming week, per request from Grandma and Mrs. Tracey, who won't see Pax all week.

Dinner with the Ladies

Aunt Suzie, Pax, Aunt Sarah, and me

Sweet Aunt Suzie bought Pax a balloon that he loved!

You can check out Suzie's blog for more details and pictures (these were stolen from her blog), but I had to just put a post on here, too.

We really enjoyed dinner at Cracker Barrel. As Suzie said, Paxton made friends with 2 families behind us, and he behaved really well! (Phew!!) I fed him his dinner while we were waiting for our food to come out, but he was still hungry when I had no more food. So, he had pancakes for the first time, and absolutely loved them! I think he ate almost a whole one himself! I barely got to eat my breakfast (for dinner) because I was breaking off small pieces of the pancakes.

Thanks, Aunt Suzie and Aunt Sarah, for meeting us for dinner! I'm glad we're doing this every month now!

Oh what a night!

Last night was fabulous!! Mimi and Papa brought Pax home about 6:30, and he sat through dinner with us. At 7:30, I tried to nurse him, and he refused and started crying. So, I laid him down in his clothes and all, and he immediately fell asleep. I kept thinking he would wake up and want to eat, but that didn't happen. He slept until this morning when I had to wake him up at 6! Brad and I kept checking on him periodically through the night, but he was worn out, and barely even moved! Who knows what will happen tonight!

Another weekend with family

cute puppy!

This is the typical Paxton face lately--"ooooohhhh"

Pax and Pops

Paxton got to meet his Great-Aunt Sherry (my Dad's sister) and Great-Uncle John this weekend. They came from Texas just to meet this new addition to our family. Pax had fun and we really appreciated them coming out here. We hadn't seen them in about 2 years, so we also enjoyed our time with them. Paxton practically spent the entire weekend at Pops and Grandma's, while Brad and I played tennis, I went to a baby shower, and we ran other errands. Uncle DC and his family also spent some time with us. We enjoyed all the family time this weekend!

Aunt Sherry and Uncle John brought Paxton two really cute gifts: an adorable sweater that fits him perfectly, and an absolutely precious stuffed dog! It is so cute that it almost makes me want to redecorate his nursery in this pattern!! Thank you for these gifts, Aunt Sherry and Uncle John!

Paxton started clapping this morning! He has been clapping the back side of his left hand to the correct side of his right hand, but today he turned his hand over. It was so cute! He was playing with a frog at Mom and Dad's that sang. At the end of the song, we would both clap, and then he did it on his own! Yeah, Pax!

We had our Sunday tennis matches today at Piedmont Park, and Brad and I both won. We played with different people, and our team took 4 points! It was such a beautiful day to be outside, and we were there forever! Mom and Dad kept Pax for us--thanks for that!

Uncle Adam and the Fam

Pat, Pax, and Uncle Adam

Over the weekend, we went to Charleston to watch my brother's college tennis team play. We had a very nice trip, and Pax did great on the ride to and from! We stayed at my Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bruce's, while Mom and Dad stayed with Grandma. We all spent Saturday afternoon at the courts. It was great to hang out with the family and see everyone. Thanks, Aunt Cindy for letting us stay with you all, and for letting Pax get the windows dirty! He sure enjoyed looking at the birds! Thank you, Uncle Adam, for being such a sweet uncle! Pax is a lucky nephew! I wish you were closer to us!

Quick Little Play Date

Jayden and Pax

Anna had taken his pacifier-look at Paxton's face!

This afternoon, we had a quick little play date with Anna and Jayden. They were heading to her parents and stopped by to let the boys play together. We bundled them up and took them on a wagon ride, since it was such a beautiful afternoon. They are starting to actually interact a little bit when they play. Anna is pregnant, and due in May, and looks so good. It was fun to see them.
