Lions, Tigers and Bears-Oh My

Paxton's 1st trip to the ZOO

Yesterday we took pac-man to the zoo and had a blast. We were joined by mimi, granny, grumps and aunt Katie. We got there shortly after it opened and before it got too hot. Believe me, it was still HOT. Wasn't to sure how he would do but let me just say his head never stopped moving. There was so much for him to look at. Daddy, paxton and aunt katie(to the side) hanging out by the cow.

I just love meerkats. They are so cute..

Our first picture of the day:) He wouldn't look at the camera for anything.

Family picture in front of the pretty flowers. Let me just say my post preggers body is not ready for summer clothes. Lots of work to be done.

A little baby

Just chilling...

Officially done with the zoo. He had seen enough. Our little pac-man did so good. We hope you had as much fun as we did paxton..I see MANY more trips in our future. Thanks for going mimi, granny, grumps and katie bug. On another note paxton went to the church nursery for the first time today. They said he did really well except for his spit-up. What's new?? I am going to call the pediatrician tomorrow, we can't take it anymore:( We have asked once but going to ask 1 more.

WELCOME TO PAXTON'S ROOM

This is his animal bedding. We decided to go with a animal theme. Pac-man loves looking at his animal friends..

The changing area, we spend lots of time there. Pac-man loves to look at the animals. He just laughs and talks to them.

This is where all his books and important stuff is displayed. His memory box is so very special, I hope he will enjoy it one day. The Memphis football his papa chief gave him, his bible, dad and baby statue and his piggy bank are a few things you see here.

His curtains which took my mom and I forever to find. I was grumpy that day, thanks mom for sticking with me. I am proud of what we found.

His lovely crib. Joe and I are very proud of his bed. Paxton loves his bed and sleeps there every night. My mom did his name above his bed and it turned out so cute.

This is his other dresser. On top is a basket of toys and a little lamp. My wonderful mother-in-law gave it to us. When she bought it was blue, she painted it and put new fabric on the shade. Looking at at you would never know it started out blue! Also their is a plate up there with the Tennessee Titans on it that everyone signed at the hospital. It is a nice memory to have.

Not Much Going On Today

We did go visit Paxton's great-great grandmother. She is in her early 90's. I hope GOD blesses me with they type of life she has. She is a wonderful lady. We call her baba and she is such a inspiration. Paxton has started waking at 5am and it is not fun. He had been sleeping until 6:45 ish. Oh well, it could be worse.

Pac-Man and his sad face. He already doesn't like getting his picture taken

New fruit

Tonight we tried B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Now I have the gwen stefani song in my head. I wasn't sure if he liked them at first. He gave us a awful looking face. No, I didn't capture it on camera. I need to be lighting fast and I have not conquered that task yet. Never fear I am working on it, Then he started crying for more so I knew we had a winner. He ate 1 tablespoon of the bananas and 2 tablespoons of barely cereal and of course his bottle. Don't be jealous of that lovely dinner:) He is getting to where he doesn't like the cereal since we started giving him fruit. Hope that doesn't last.

We hope you guys have a good night..

What a Difference a Year Makes

Sorry this post is late. We got home late last night, my brother graduated from the 6th grade. Way to go, Cory. We are so very proud and wish you lots of fun in the coming years. Enjoy it will go by fast.

A year ago yesterday, I was sitting in the doctors office with a million thoughts running through my head. As I was called back, all I could think was our life is about to forever change. The doctor walked in and said well I see someone here is pregnant. Did I just hear her right?? Of course, the tears formed and I had to take a deep breathe and feel the moment. We went over some things and I was sent on my way. My big concern was, we had just got back from Disney and I had rode all kind of rides. She said you and the baby are fine, the baby probably liked flipping around..ha/ha..I called Joe ASAP and said well it's 100% true. (not that the 5 home test were lying to us) So here we are now and Paxton is almost 5 months old. Wow, what a year!!

Pac-Man-

We just want you to know you are so very special to us. I can not think GOD enough for giving us YOU(our little piece of heaven) . Your dad and I feel so blessed that GOD chose us to raise one of his children. With that said we hope to provide you with all you need. Our love will be unconditional and our arms always open. Our hearts filled with so much love the moment we saw you and continues to grow with love everyday. That smile and laugh of yours lights us up every time. I know here soon you will be using that to your advantage:) We hope one day you go back and read this blog and see how truly special you are to us. We love you so much Paxton.

Long day but good overall

We did the exersaucer for the first time and he loved it.

Man, he didn't know what to play with or which way to turn.

Hi. mom and dad-I love this thing

That little mind is churning.

Pac-man decided to rise before dawn this morning. I know you are jealous of 4 am risings. We was not into going back to bed, so we slept on and off on the couch until about 6:30ish. He couldn't handle it any longer. So he ate and we started the day. Joe woke up about 7 and went and got us chick fil a. It made me feel yucky all day and sick:( BOO We hope tonight is a better one, because it's off to work.

Thank you to all the soldiers out there on this memorial day...

Restful Sunday

Playdate, this was at the end of the day. They really had a good time.

giving kisses...

Last night pac-man stayed at mimi and papa chief's. They all had a good time. He slept all night for them:) Paxton got to play with miss. brentley rae. They had fun hanging out and looking at each other. We hate we missed it. I will try and get a picture up of them playing. We went and picked him up after church. We ate lunch with my parents and then headed home. Once we got home we played on the floor for a little while. He is getting good at rolling from his back to his tummy. After that I held him a lot, I just missed him so much. I enjoyed just being with my 2 boys this afternoon and of course our dogs. What a perfect afternoon. I couldn't ask for anything better.
