Oct Visit to Dallas

sadly, we were in Dallas for the  funeral of Jays uncle, however,  having Paxton with us  lightened the mood and he quickly became a plaything for Jay's cousins

6 Month Tourettes

well, I don't think this is considered a milestone, but our little man has adopted(temporarily only, I hope!)  a phantom cough, which seems like a tick and a sort of hyperventilated breathing style....which sounds as though he is getting ready to wail.  He knows it will get my attention, as I  see him looking at me for a reaction as he is doing it....clever little bugger.
The care givers at the community center daycare asked me if he was alright, while he demonstrated his heavy panting for them the minute we walked in for our first babysitting session with them...I'm sure they thought, 'what the'.....
This to shall pass!
PS what happened to those wonderful nights..sleeping through?  Good grief little mister, you have been waking up every 2-3 hours.  Blame it on a growth spurt, I guess!

6 Months

starting rice cereal this week...so excited.
Pax is super happy we got his high chair last weekend, sitting upright at the table w/ mom and dad is fun, he doesn't like to miss out!

Time for mom to try her hand at baby food making...here we go!   :)

The Agony of DeFeet(and not being able to get them in the mouth)

Pax has discovered his feet are pretty cool toys, if he could only fit the darn things in his mouth, it would be the perfect toy!  At least the straining effort it takes to get one foot to the mouth is working his abs and he is well on his way to a 6 pack by summer!

The Pick Up Game

'If you feel like Paxton is dropping his toys over and over again only to get your attention, remember that this is how he tests the world and he is fascinated to find that dropping an object, such as a rattle, will have the same result every time. He now knows the sound that the rattle makes and can anticipate it. If the rattle hits another toy or surface on the way down, he may look to see what happened and why the sound was different that time. He is also delighted to discover another predictable result: that you will pick it up for him. '
 
We also have discovered sticking our tongue out is fun and have started to practice the sound, 'th' .....all fun developments.
