Park

Axton and I went to the park by ourselves for the first time yesterday! And it was really fun and not scary at all. Anyways I got alot of cute pictures I would like to share......
First we collected leaves, rocks (which we put in our mouth, YUCK!), sticks, and wood.

Then we put our feet on the warm dirt. He didnt really like that. I think it was to pokey from all the dead grass.
But we did try 10 patches of green grass and finally found one we liked :) And we yanked all of the grass out of the ground. (all that we could at least)

Of course we had to stop our exploring to watch the fascinating puppies walk by! Those things are everywhere...how fun!
We ended the day off with a little bit of swinging. There was a bigger boy swinging next to us and he was going so high! How does he do that?!But who needs to swing high when you have these fun silver things to entertain you :)

That was our fun adventure at the park. Im so thankful for this beautiful weather we have been having!

Chatter Box

Axton started saying Mama, Dada, and baba on Friday! How wonderful! He mostly says dada to Chris all day and when he wants to play...and I get my name called at night when hes sleepy. I guess that's how it goes though. Mom is for comfort, dad is for play. That's ok though! At least he can say it! I love my son so much. I'm still trying to get it on the camera, but they always seem to know when you turn that thing on!

Jelly and Mayo

Axton has really gotten where he likes to feel things with his little fingers.....so I was like what can I put on his tray for him to squish? Solution....jelly and mayo! Not to eat but just to play with. He loved it! He really liked the jelly. He just squished it and flung it around, but the mayo he didnt like to much. He squished that and looked at me like please clean that off!
While he was playing I turned on the dishwasher (ours is pretty loud) and he looked around me to see what was making the noise. Hes so cute!

New New New

Axton said dadadadada yesterday! He was jumping in his bouncer and just talking to his toy about dada apparently. Also if we put him on all fours he will hop with his legs but he refuses to move his arms....so he just gets scrunched up in half! Its so cute watching him try out new things.

Pictures and Crackers

Mom paid for Axtons pictures to be taken at The Photo Store at 3,6,9,12 months. Today we went and got his 6 month pictures taken. He wore a cute flannel that Chris mom gave us. This was before we made it out the door....
Yesterday Axton started making the chewing movement when he is hungry! How wonderfully convenient! Finally a way of communication....anyways I told Chris to let Axton try a piece of his sandwich. He got a piece of the bread and chewed it up! So today I was smashing up some Ritz crackers so he could try them and it turned into this....

It is so fun to watch him learn! I love my boys!

Saturdays....

Yesterday was just a glimpse of the beautiful weather yet to come! Axton and I went over to my grandmas to spend the day since Chris had to work. So Axton, mom, grandma, and myself went on a walk. Grandma guided us so we could see horses, and Axton loved them! Then later I took Axton to dig in the dirt in the garden. I dug the dirt out and poured it to the side, then he grabbed my hand so he could help me dig. Then we poured some of the dirt on his feet and he picked it up and studied it. For once he didnt stick it in his mouth! After that I took Axton to feel his feet on the grass, well I saw a puddle of mud and thought oh that will feel different I bet he would like to feel that...NO NO NO! He doesnt want his toes all squished in mud yet, but I did get a cute picture out of it.

Just What We Needed

So Axton's previous bed time was from 10-8, which we thought was wonderful because it allowed us to sleep in....but Chris and I weren't getting to spend anytime one on one time together when he got off work and we were getting in bed to late. But all that said, we decided to move Axton bedtime to 8. We were expecting him to get up at like 6 or something but we were willing to see what was going to happen....but hes sleeping from 8-8! How amazing is that! So now quality time with hubby and extra sleep! I also think Axton enjoys going to bed earlier....it use to be so hard getting him to sleep. It was like play with him till he gives up....but now he willing bathes, eats, then sleeps! Hooray for cooperative babies!
