Paxton Turns 1!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAXTON!

A year ago, yesterday, our sweet little baby came into this world and changed our lives in the most amazing way. Since that December day, it has been one diaper change, one cry, one sleepless night, one spit-up, one date-less weekend, one laugh, one giggle, one snuggle, one smile, one peek-a-boo game after another. Its been the hardest and best year of both of our lives. We adore and love our little Paxton so much.
Paxton is the sweetest little boy. His favorite thing to do is snuggle into his mommy. I swear, that kid would sit on my lap, laying his head on my chest for hours if I let him. He gives open-mouth kisses whenever I ask, he recently learned how to wave and cant stop telling hi and bye to people. He also recently learned "So Big" and cant stop doing that either. (You'll notice him doing it alot in these pictures) He currently has 7 teeth and weighs 20 1/2 pounds, which still puts him in the 20th percentile for weight. Our poor little guy just cant seem to chunk up! He's healthy though, and happy all day long so we couldn't be more thrilled.
A couple of his favorite games right now are imitating us when we stick out our tongues and make silly noises. He recently has starting initiating the games, and always at the funniest times-like during the prayer or as he's falling asleep. He's a total blabber-mouth, always talking and trying to imitate us when we say things.
He crawls like a champ and is starting the walking process. he hasnt taken any solo steps yet, but he can get around the room pretty good these days by holding on to his surroundings.
He's so careful with everything he does. He uses his index finger and thumb, aka his pinchers, to do just about anything, like pick up food, unwrap presents, touch mommy's hair.


Since we were in AZ for Thanksgiving and just a few days shy of his birthday, we decided to have his birthday party then with our family. Thanks everyone for being there to celebrate with us!
Where on Earth would we be without this little boy in our lives. He has made every day, even the HARD HARD days, a little more joyful and happy. His cheesy smile makes my world spin. We love you Pax, you wont always be our little baby, but you will always always be the world to us. Happy Birthday!
