Paxton at 2 1/2

Now that Paxton is 2 1/2 years old I decided that it was time for an update about our funny little man!

I can't even begin to describe how much we love having Paxton in our family!  He is such a great kids and after a long day at work his funny little personality is the best thing to come home to!  He always has something entertaining to say, lately it has been things like "chill out" or "check this out" or "that's messed up!"  He is always coming up with something new to entertain us!  Recently he has decided that he no longer likes his bedroom and prefers to sleep on the couch.  I have been learning to pick my battles with him and that was not a battle I wanted to fight out...well a month later and he still refuses to sleep anywhere but the couch.  He has also decided that he prefers pajamas to real clothes and spends most days in decked out in his favorite pj's

 One thing that I have loved about this age is watching him learn new things!  Paxton can count to 13, point to and name all of his body parts, do a bunch of animal sounds, sing all of his favorite songs, and recite a bunch of his favorite books.  It seems like everyday he learns something new and we are so excited for him to start preschool next year and keep on learning!

One thing he has not mastered is potty training...what can I say about potty training.  I think he could probably do it but it is just hard to be consistent when I work all day so for right now we are shooting for after school and weekends and hopefully by the end of spring break we will be down to 1 kid in diapers!

Paxton is still a little on the short side but is finally starting to gain weight!  He is currently at 27 1/2 pounds (not even sure it is on the charts but hey it's progress right!!)  He is doing so much better at eating...and has even eaten all of his dinner a few times in the past month.  His favorite foods right now are: chocolate milk, pedisure shakes, pizza, breadsticks, popcorn, chips, "french fries and chicken," cheese, and apples.

Paxton currently loves: nursery, playing with his cousins, watching his shows (anything on the Disney Channel) pajamas, reading books, singing his favorite songs, b-balls, sword fights, trains, coloring, and his brother!

Tegan *10 Months

Tegan is 10 months old already!! 

Tegan is growing up so fast and we are starting to see glimpses of his little personality coming through!  Tegan is definitely a munch mouth.  This boy will eat anything and everything (such a night and day difference from his brother) his favorites being pancakes, graham crackers, pears, and ice cream.  Recently we have discovered that he gets a stomach ache when he eats ice cream at night so no more ice cream for this little boy!  He currently weights about 21 lbs 6 ounces and is wearing anywhere from 12 month to 18 month clothes.

Tegan has also learned alot of new things this past month!  He is crawling on all 4's now, can pull himself up to any piece of furniture in our house, and is walking around the couch.  Last night we got out the stand behind walker and were surprised that he could balance it pretty easily and could even walk back and forth between me and Andy.  I don't know for sure if I am ready for 2 boys running around this house!

Tegan currently loves: eating, picking on his brother, singing songs (especially if it involves clapping his hands), reading books, playing with any toy that makes noise, playing with his brother, cuddling with mom or dad to go to sleep, taking long baths, and walks in the stroller!
