That's how old our little nugget is. On April 28th, that is. I'm late as usual.


We have a major snack monster on our hands. 10 minutes after breakfast, he wants a snack. 10 minutes after lunch, he wants a snack. Same with dinner. This kid never. stops. eating!


This is my favorites stage so far. I've loved all the stages of course. And I do love little babies. But he is just so much fun right now. He has such a big personality and can play with us which is why I think it's so much fun.

It's a good thing he's so much fun because he just about matches it with messes made. I'm pretty sure this is how his thinking goes:
Hmm, what would be the worst thing for mom to clean up?
Dumping the jar of olive oil (check)
Dumping out the syrup (check)
Paint myself and the bathroom with pink lipstick (check)
It's amazing how fast he can make a mess when my back is turned.


He's starting to talk a little and it's just the cutest thing ever! He says bye bye, (his favorite word because he always wants to go somewhere) daddy, mommy, hello, shoes (kind of, because he knows he needs them to go bye bye) and cookie (that's the most important right?).

He LOVES being outside which is great since Sam and I also being outdoors. He also loves anything with water.


Rewind. When Sam found out we were having a boy he was really excited because he would have a gaming buddy.
Fast foreword. Sam has taught him to game. Only problem, Daxton doesn't share. He thought he was getting a gaming buddy but as Sam starts to play the Wii or Xbox Daxton demands the controller. (Yes he's spoiled. Yes we are paying the consequences.) It's really funny to watch.

We love this little boy like crazy. He is extremely independent and likes to do everything himself and do everything that mom and dad does. He loves nursery and cries when we come to pick him up. For as independent as he is, he is also sweet. He gives the best kisses and hugs that just wraps us further around his little finger.

Christmas 2015














I have been absolutely horrible at taking pictures lately! I'm lucky I got any of Christmas and even then they are pretty much all of Daxton. We have been traveling a lot. For Thanksgiving we went to South Carolina to visit Sam's brother and his wife. Unfortuatly we didnt take very many pictures of that trip either. 
After Sam finished his semester we went to Colorado Springs and then to Utah. We got to spend time with both of our families and the time went way too fast. We loved seeing Daxton open his presents. His favorite by far being the sofa from Grandma and Grandpa and he knew just what to do with it. We took advantage of the snow and went snowboarding and sledding. I added a short clip of us sledding. This is the BEST way to go sledding in my opinion.
Oh, and my family has this little deer that is very friendly and goes around to everyone's house begging for food! It's the funniest thing. Daxton is afraid of dogs but he loved petting the deer!

St. Louis Zoo








The weekend before Dax's birthday we went to St. Louis and took him to the zoo. We realized beforehand that he probably wasn't going to be that into it. But, I still wanted to do something memorable for it. St. Louis zoo is free so it wasn't that big of a deal and Sam and I had fun checking out the animals. The only animals that got reactions from Dax were the penguins and camels! Man he cracks me up! We can't wait to bring him back in a couple years.
