Paxton at 9 months



 

Paxton is 9 months old as of yesterday. The time is seriously flying by. I get so excited when he is entering new stages and the days just seem to go by in the blink of an eye. He's quite the busy guy. He spends his days getting into anything he can get his hands on, eating anything-even objects he's not supposed to eat, and sleeping like a champ. According to my calculations (his official check up is on Friday) he is:


  • 19.2 pounds 
  • 27 inches
  • wearing size 6-9 month clothes
  • size 3 diaper
  • size 2 shoe (really a 1.5, but who makes those??)
  • Has 2 bottom teeth and his 2 upper middle are breaking through this week.
  • cruising on furniture (he has let go to stand freely a couple times)
  • crawling everywhere (even up and down steps outside)
  • Still eating 8 oz. formula every 3-4 hours.
  • Likes drinking water from a sippy cup.
  • Sleeping 8-7 or 7:30-7:30. Napping from 9-10:30 in the am and 1-3 in the pm.
Food (he has tried):
  • Oatmeal, rice and whole wheat cereal.
  • Peas, green beans, carrots, corn, sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash.
  • Apples, bananas, strawberries, apricots, nectarines, peeled grapes, peaches, blueberries, avacado.
  • Beef, chicken (pureed, both he disliked)
  • Biscuits and croissants
He will only eat green veggies if they are steamed and not pureed. He loves carrots and sweet potatoes either way. He loves any fruit and would prefer them sliced or chopped so he can eat them himself. He is quite the eater.

Paxton oozes sweetness. I can't help but to pick him up and love on him all the time. He is so cuddly and squishy. He is very into using his walker, pulling up on anything he can manage, making new sounds and blowing raspberries with his tongue. He has said Mama one time in the car, but other than that-it's Dada or Vava. He started shrilling lately and that is pretty cute. Something not so cute: He learned how to scream. He usually only does it when his brother or sister encourages  him or when he is doing it to a random adult I am trying to have a conversation with. I told you-adorable.

Paxton,
You are growing up so fast. Daddy and I talk about how you are going to be when you grow up all the time. You are such a happy, content baby boy. You completed our family and are so precious to us! We love you more than we could ever describe.
Love,
Mama and Dada

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
