I can't believe my little baby is 18 months old already!! He has grown up so much in the past 6 months it makes me CRAZY! Here is a little update on the many adventures in the life of Paxton!
SLEEPING: Paxton has gotten into some BAD habits when it comes to sleeping. He has decided to change up the carefully planned nap schedule. Now he likes to nap around lunch time and again right before dinner and that makes for a late bedtime! He also currently will not go to sleep at night unless Andy lays by him on the couch and they watch TV to fall asleep...bad bad habit! He still wakes up anywhere from 2-5 times a night. He has really enlarged tonsils that make him snore really really loud...so he usually wakes himself up from snoring. He typically requires a bottle of milk to get back to sleep (I know we are still not of the bottle...bad bad!!) 
With the baby coming we decided to go ahead and get him a toddler bed. He has slept on it a few times (with Andy on a mattress on the floor next to him) and has fallen out both time. For now I think we will stick to the crib!!
EATING: Paxton is still a pretty pick eater. He has days where he will try anything and eat a ton and then days where we will eat hardly anything except for milk from his beloved BA-BA. Some of his current favorite foods include: cereal, crackers, pretzels, mac & cheese, pancakes, french toast, french fries, chicken nuggets, cereal bars, fruit snacks, ice cream, milk, juice, and any kind of treat!!
PLAY: Like I said earlier, Paxton has grown up so much in the past few months. He loves to make mischief getting into things he isn't supposed to. His favorite things to do are to empty out the cupboards, pull out all of the dishtowels and hot pads, throw all of his toys into Homer's house, pull out all of the shoes, and dump out any bucket of toys he can find!

He likes to play with "big boy toys" like cars, tools, blocks, and balls but especially loves cell phones, the computer, and the remotes! He loves to watch TV and movies including: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Yo Gabba Gabba, Timmy Time, Handy Manny, and Baby Einstein.
TALKING: Paxton is an amazing talker!! He will try to imitate almost anything that we say to him! He knows about 40 words on his own and is starting to put words together! Some of his favorite words and phrases include: Mommy, Daddy, Homer, no way, please, hi, out, what's up, sit, yes, no, shoes, and ha-ha! He knows most of the animal names and sounds, and a few of his body parts! He is starting to sing lots of songs including E-I-E-I-O, ABC, and lots of songs he makes up himself!
He still loves to read books and can often be found in his room reading through his basket of books!
Other funny things about Paxton:
Other funny things about Paxton:He hates wearing socks and shoes in the car and can usually has them ripped off within 30 seconds of getting strapped in.
He has learned how to take his pants off (and as of today his shirt) so he can usually be found running around our house with no pants on!
One of his other favorite things to do is to be chased around the house and be tickled, then chased and tickled, and chased and tickled over and over again!
He is so attached to Andy right now! He wants to be with him at all times. Andy can't even go to the bathroom with out Paxton following to the bathroom and waiting for him outside the door.
Paxton cries when Andy drops him off at the babysitter and then cries when I get there to pick him up because he doesn't want to leave!
We sure love this little man and can't imagine our lives without him!
We look forward to all of the other adventures we get to experience with him!!
