I can't believe that March is almost over...it has gone by so stinkin fast! Paxton is 8 months old now. He hasn't changed much in weight (18 pounds 6 ounces) or height (27 inches) but he has changed alot in other ways...he is growing up so fast!
He is rolling and army crawling all over our house. He is apparently done with baby toys and wants to play with new things big boy things. He is finally starting to eat better!! I know this sounds crazy but I am 99% convinced that he wouldn't eat because of the stupid bib. The minute I gave in and just let him make a little mess he decided to eat like a champ. Pax has 6 teeth now (4 on top and 2 on the bottom) and they are the cutest crookedest things you have ever seen!
He has also gone through a very very bad phase this month...the I like everyone except my mother phase. He would cry when I tried to take him away from people, even the babysitter, and then look at me and cry even harder. When we were home he only wanted to be with Andy...nothing to do with me it was all Andy all the time. Luckily I think we are past that stage!
I tried to do a St. Patrick's Day
photo shoot...but my child is mobile now and just will not sit still like he used to but what do you do he is still so dang cute!
We got to make a trip to
Richfield this weekend...for Jake's Prom of course! It is our last official
Richfield High School Prom after 7 kids...so sad!
Paxton apparently didn't enjoy Prom as much as the rest of us...maybe it was the
choreographed dance with all the prom couples, the introduction of the couples, the slide show, or maybe it was the mother son dance that got to him...I just don't know.
He may not of enjoyed it but were sure did!
We also finally figured out that Paxton's runny nose (since November) and hacking cough (for a month) is caused by allergies and asthma. Thanks to a little Zyrtec everyday he is finally getting back to his normal self!!
And to make matters worse you didn't even notice until 2 HOURS LATER when a cute little girl asked you if it was crazy shoe day at school...um no apparently I've just lost my mind!!
Paxton has grown up so much this month. We took him for his 9 month well check visit yesterday, he had actually lost a pound from being sick with allergies and another ear infection. He weighed in at 17 pounds 6 ounces (65%) and was 28 inches tall (50%)!
We just can't get enough of this little guy!!
So did his cousins!
Paxton was so excited about his new movies and books...
Until we got home Sunday night and broke out his new toothbrush!! He loved it and chewed on it for about an hour! He loves to have his teeth brushed!
And finally....take a look at all of those teeth, so cute and crooked! 
Before we knew it he was paddling with his hands and kicking with his feet crusing all over the 
He got really excited once we pulled out his little yellow floaty! I think that we have just let him go by himself and he would have just kicked himself all around the pool!
I LOVE this picture of my boys...they look so HAPPY!
We are so excited for our next swimming adventure and even more excited for Mom and me swimming in the summer!

That night we had Andy's family over for cake and ice cream to celebrate Andy and his twin brother Jacob's birthdays!
Thanks to everyone who could come and spend this special day with us!! We love having family close by to help celebrate special occasions!
What have we done? If he didn't look so dang cute with it in his mouth (reminds me of when he was a newborn) I would probably take it away but he LOVES it!
Sometimes he even insists on having both of them so he can switch off...he is a silly boy!
