11 Months and Tubes

Paxton turned 11 months old on June 12th! I can't believe that he is going to be one in a few weeks!! He has turned into quite a funny boy these days...He is talking and babbling so much more and is starting to imitate vowel sounds and trying to say things that we say. He has also finally started saying mama (or muma) but mostly when he is mad or sad about something. He has also learned to throw temper tantrums lately...Andy and I just sit and watch him trying not to laugh but sometime we just can't help it because it is so cute! Paxton loves paper, plastic, the mail, cell phones, the remote, and his new walker...usually if he throws a fit it is because he can't have one of these things! Paxton is still being a stinker about crawling and walking and just prefers the army crawl but he is getting better about getting up on his hands and knees and he is standing up on everything! He is still not a big eater and has sworn off baby food but he is getting better about trying new things...currently his favorites are pancakes, Popsicles, watermelon, cantaloupe, and beans!Paxton got tubes in his ears on June 17th!! I was so excited for him to get them so that we could be free from ear infections for awhile! When they weighed him in he was only 17 pounds 8 ounces and 28 inches long!
He looked so cute in his little hospital pajamas...I really wanted to take them home but was afraid they would charge me a zillion dollars so I only took the little socks!
Playing trucks with Dad before going in...
When the nurse came to get him Pax held his arms out to him and away they went, he didn't even look back. I didn't know whether to be sad that he wasn't sad to leave us or happy that it was that easy!
I was so amazed surgery only lasted 15 minutes and he was done! He was a little bit sad when he came back to us but once he got his bottle and got to lay in the big bed and watch Mickey Mouse...he was good to go!
By the time we got back home he was back to his usual self!
We have noticed a huge difference since he got the tubes...I can totally tell that he can hear better...he is imitating sounds now and babbles all day long nonstop!!
