Sitting Pretty

Daxton began sitting by himself this week. He is still a little wobbly but gets more stable every day. It's already hard to get the little guy to stay in one place. If he sees something he likes, he goes for it!

1/2 Way There!

Daxton's half birthday is today! And what did he do for his birthday?.....SHOTS! Poor dude. He was a little trooper and didn't cry for very long. Daddy was able to get him smiling soon after. We are letting him try a new flavor of baby food today to celebrate. We can't believe we are half way through the first year.

Dax had a pretty good half birthday. He had to start the day off with his 6 month shots but only cried for about 10 seconds then Joe had him smiling again. He is healthy and big. The nurse had to measure his length 3 times because she couldn't believe how tall he got! He is in the 95% for height, 70-90% for his head size, and in the 50% for his weight.
Today was also a big day because he started sitting up all by himself. Even though it's only for 5-10 seconds at a time before he starts to fall over, it's a great start.

Funny Face

This face first started when Daxton was on Skype with Grandma and Grandpa Ashton. We aren't sure why he does it but we think he may be trying to be silly and loves the reaction he gets out of making people smile. He will hold this face for a few seconds and then smile.

Tech Baby

Daddy bought Mommy a tablet but I get to learn how to use it as well! I love the shapes, colors, and sounds of the baby apps.

The Three D's.....Daxton + Dogs = Delight!

We grabbed the camera a little late but he was still giggling a little on this clip. Daxton LOVES the dogs. He especially loves it when they bark or make noise (opposite of mommy right now). When the dogs get rowdy Daxton gets excited. They can make him laugh harder than anyone else in the house. I'm glad he is such a dog lover since he will be growing up with two. Right now the dogs don't mind him, but coming up soon I think they will not like it when he can crawl and get his hands on them all the time!

Nakey Baby!!

I'm sure you have noticed Daxton is naked in a lot of posts. In the evenings he likes to play without his clothes on before bath time. If he starts to get cranky we just strip him down to Nakey Baby! Then he is unrestricted to do his favorite thing.....wiggle!

Back to Tummy

So, Daxton accomplished yet another milestone today. He rolled from back to tummy 4 times tonight. Maybe all that nanny training is paying off since my son is once again ahead of schedule. Most babies don't roll from back to tummy until 5 or 6 months. So proud of my little guy. Each milestone he accomplishes makes me tear up a little.......so happy he is developing, yet so sad he is growing so fast!
