Picture Time

Grandma and Grandpa with their 3 Grandsons! We've been waiting a long time to be able to take this photo.
Baby Dax and his cousin Ryker are BFF's.

It was really windy outside when we took this photo. Poor baby Dax was cold. We only took about 6 photos before giving up because it was too windy and cold!

Date Night

Our local Nordstrom was having a promotion, free New Moon tickets for buying their clothes. It was a win win situation for me since I love their clothes and I wanted to see the movie. Nordstrom bought out the entire theater and showed Twilight in all 14 theaters. It was a sneak preview so we got to see it Thursday night at 9:30. Kelly and I liked it and loved being able to get out and spend time together. Daxy had fun at home with his Grandma and Grandpa!

Like Father Like Son



Kelly's mom sent these to me a few weeks ago. He definitely looks like his Daddy!

One Month Old


This first month of Dax's life has been quite the roller coaster. I can't believe it has already been an entire month. I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of this whole being a mom thing. In his first month of life I have learned that Dax:
  • Adores the sound of the blow dryer (I went out and bought a white noise machine today).
  • Is often content in his swing.

  • Will usually wake up as soon as I lay him in his crib.

  • Would probably eat all day if I let him.

  • Likes being swaddled.

  • Usually sleeps about 45 minutes at a time (day and night), the longest he will go is 2 hours.

  • Is the happiest when laying on Mommy or Daddy's chest.

  • Gets cranky in the evening.

  • Likes his bath but hates getting out.

  • Is a very colicy baby but we couldn't love him more!

First Halloween

Daxy's first Halloween was spent sleeping and eating. We also went out to breakfast and went and saw Uncle Chaddy's new house in Concord. Dax had two adorable little outfits and he wore them both. Halloween day was followed by a night with NO sleep. He literally slept about 3 hours the entire night, usually in 30 minute increments. Needless to say it was a long night and we are all tired...including Daxton. I'm really hoping this sleeping thing gets better soon. :) I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!
