a candy bar poster for Andy...
and some beautiful flowers for me!!
It was a great Valentine's Day!!
We have got to get this kid on Minute to Win it. 
The second hour didn't go so well...unfortunately that is his nap time and he was tired! We spent the 2nd hour of nursery together...Paxton laying on the floor drinking his bottle and me watching him because he wouldn't let me leave!
He did love... 
Playing with the fake plants!
Touching the textured pillars!
Running around and climbing on all of the benches!
The only part of the actual museum exhibit that he liked was the place where you can touch all the different animal fur and skin!
Afterward we enjoyed some yummy hot fudge sundaes at the creamery ! 
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! 
Other funny things about Paxton:
Paxton was amazingly calm and well behaved. He started off on my lap but as soon as Andy was done with his haircut we had to change places so Paxton would cooperate! 
I was totally nervous during the whole thing (don't worry I didn't cry) but we made it through thanks to fruit snacks and dad!!
Before we knew it Paxton turned into a big boy! I kept looking at him thinking "What happened to my baby?" but now that we have all had time to get used to it we are loving it!!
And LOTS of competitive game play...while Andy, Paxton, and Jacob stuck to the Wii, the rest of us got our exercise with many many rounds of the new game Wackee Six (it's like speed with a big group...so fun!)
Before we knew it we looked at the clock and it was 11:50...we hurried and pulled 
Paxton even managed (barely) to make it clear till midnight thanks to a late nap!
We had a great 2010 but are really looking forward to all that 2011 brings us...hopefully all great things to come for our little family!!
