Go Utes!!

We are getting Paxton ready for football season to start this weekend!!

Don't worry there will be more pictures to come...thanks again Tracy!

And no we didn't pose him like this...this boy must just love football already!

Paxton's New Pajamas

Who would have thought that a cute new pair of pajamas... Would bring such a big smile to our cute little man's face!!

We love it when we can sneak a smile out of him and now that he is starting to smile more (and not always because of gas) we spend most of our evenings together waiting for these moments.

This little face melts my heart!!

Paxton's Birth Announcement

Look for yours in the mail soon!!

Are You Kidding Me...

I can't believe that our baby is 1 month old already...this past month has sped by so fast!! Paxton has grown so much...he is out of newborn diapers and starting to fit into 0-3 month clothes. We measured and weighed him and he is 22 inches long and close to 9 pounds. Our baby is growing up! Here are a few highlights of the past few weeks...

Paxton and his cute new hat. We went to Park City for our anniversary and it was really cold there needless to say we were totally unprepared so Paxton got some cute new winter clothes!!

Our Sweet Baby Boy!!

When Paxton gets out of the bath he has super curly hair!

My attempt at professional photography (I was a slacker and didn't get professional newborn pictures done.)

WE LOVE OUR LITTLE GUY!!

We Made It!!

Andy and I celebrated our 1st anniversary today, August 9th!! What a crazy year it has been for us between buying a new house and having a new baby, but I dare speak for the both of us when I say it has been the best year of our lives!

I love you babe and am so lucky to have had you by my side for the past 2 years and am looking forward to many many more years together. You are the best husband I could have asked for and am amazing father...Paxton and I are 2 very lucky people!! I LOVE YOU (times a gazillion)!!

2 Week Well Check Visit

I can't believe that our little boy is 2 1/2 weeks old...the time has flown by!! We took Paxton for his first doctors visit today. He is now 7 pounds 13 ounces (50%) for weight and 20 5/8 inches (60%) for height!! I guess he is eating well! Unfortunately he had to have his PKU test today and I actually think it was worse for me and Andy than it was for Paxton! We love our little guy and are so excited to see what the future brings for our little family!!

Here are some things that we have learned about Paxton in the past 2 1/2 weeks...

• He loves to be wrapped up and will only eat if he is swaddled.
• He makes alot of great facial expressions...especially when he sucks in his bottom lip or puckers up his lips.
• He is just like his mom when it comes to waking up, it takes him a while to decide that he is ready then he has to stretch and moan and groan before he is fully awake.
• He has his dad's feet, ears, hairline, and skin tone. He has his mom's nose. We are still in debates about his mouth, eyes, and hair (it's constantly changing).
• He is a major cuddler...which makes his mom and dad really happy!!
• He has great hair, it is the first thing everybody notices about him, and it spikes into a perfect little mohawk.

Paxton's First Big Boy Bath

After 2 weeks of sponge baths in the sink, we decided to let Paxton have his first bath in the tub before we went to see the doctor. At first he wasn't too sure about the new little bathtub... neither were his mom and dad so we had to try it out on the bed first! And he really wasn't sure about it once we filled the tub with water and especially when we took off his clothes...but surprisingly he only cried for a little bit in the beginning!

Once it was all said and done, and the lotion was applied, I think he actually enjoyed it!!
