Gobble Gobble!

We took our little turkey to the Kepner Grandparents house for a big feast. Even though Daxton didn't nap much he was still a very happy and festive baby. He had lots of smiles for the whole family. Since Daxton really likes grabbing things with his hands lately, I'm sure he wanted to try the amazing food Grandma Kepner made, but he will have to wait until next year! (And the beer can Joe gave Daxton was empty...highly inappropriate but a little funny). When Joe was asked what he was thankful for he said LEGO's, I said Daxton (which apparently doesn't count since everyone is thankful for Daxton) and for the new Zelda game I'm hoping Santa brings me for Christmas (wink, wink). There really is so much to be thankful for every year and we are so happy to be in such an amazing family.

Coupons....saving money....losing sanity

So in the last week of my pregnancy my mom watched me get up Sunday morning, grab a cup of coffee, mozy to the end of the driveway for the paper, and start the morning event of coupon cutting and planning. She laughed and said, 'You know you can't do this once the baby comes. You will not have an entire morning to dedicate to coupon clipping, enjoy it now.'
Well, mom was right (as usual), and just getting to the grocery store is an amazing feat. I still try to clip coupons but these days the cashier gets crinkled paper because this is how it usually goes......

Halloween

Daxton helped pass out candy on his first Halloween dressed as a Crab/Lobster/Sea Creature (I set out making a crab but everyone had conflicting opinions about which shell fish creature he was). He was nice and tosty in mommies cooking pot. When he wanted out for a swim he was eaten by a shark! But no worries, his good friend Dana was there to rescue him!

Little Giggles!

I was lucky Kirsten was at home to grab a video camera and capture some of Daxton's first giggles. I don't think there has ever been a better sound. I love my happy little boy!
