Great Aunts that are also GREAT!

July 20, 2012
We got to take Daxton to Grandma Kepner's house to meet his Great Aunts Julie and Jennifer. And of course Great Uncle Ulrich too! We had so much fun swimming in the pool, meeting Jennifer's dog Benny, eating an amazing lunch prepared by Ulrich, peek-a-boo with Julie, and getting into Grandma's cookware. Daxton is constantly surrounded by amazing family. Can't wait to see all of them again! 

Mascot Games

Daxton got to hang out with all his favorite mascots today. We were invited to the VIP lunch and had some one-on-one time and he loved it! He was worn out by halftime of the games, but mommy didn't mind since she got some nice snuggles out of him :)

Don't Fly Away

My latest work of art is called Don't Fly Away. It only took me a couple of days with the help of Joe and my sisters giving me a little extra time to myself. I had a lot of fun with this piece and liked using a different medium. For this piece I found pictures of birds I liked, placed them on the wall, and then used push-pins to create the outline of a tree. I then wrapped a thin yarn between the push-pins to fill in the shape of the tree. Daxton has learned the baby sign for bird and really likes looking at the new artwork in my bedroom.

Terrified

We thought Daxton would enjoy fireworks but he was scared. The loud noises and popping were just too much. The only thing he was interested on the fourth was his glow stick.

Oatmeal Box

Mommy made Daxton an oatmeal box to play in. He sits in it for long periods of time playing with a teaspoon and measuring cup. The dogs also like it because they occasionally like to help with the clean up.

Science Center

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!
WE NEED SOMETHING TO DO TODAY!
So we headed to the Orlando Science Center.

Swimming!

Since Joe is on vacation and our original plans were cancelled, we decided to take a day trip to Tampa. Daxton and daddy were able to take a quick dip in the pool at Grandma and Grandpa Kepners', but the afternoon at Bush Gardens was postponed due to some crazy rain. We are glad to have Kirsten back from Australia because she takes lots and lots of pictures of little D!
