Paxton

The other day, Jon went into our FAVORITE Thai Food place to pick up some dinner and the owner came out, as she always does, to say hi. With a beaming smile on her face she says to my darling husband "hows sex?". Jon, a little taken back and nervous, says "excuse me?" She replied, "Sex! Youre son, Sexton!" Jon almost died and politely corrected her with "you mean Pax? He is doing great". Haha, gotta love friendly ESL people.

Speaking of Pax, that poor little baby has been so sick since Christmas. Colds were flying around in AZ (and just about everywhere else) and Pax caught it with a vengeance. He got a really bad cough, a runny and congested nose and a DOUBLE EAR INFECTION! Ugh, we literally had to hold him in our arms all day and all night for about 3 days just so he would relax enough to sleep. It made me want to cry every time I looked at his sad little face as he lay miserably in my arms. Thank goodness for an amazing husband. We took turns doing 2-hour shifts at night with him. The worst part about it all is that he lost weight. Again. He weighs 19.5 lbs which puts him below the 5th percentile for weight for a 13month old. He has such a hard time eating food. We have started him on Zantac to see if its an acid reflux problem. We are also trying Singulair with him, which treats asthma. He doesnt sleep well and it might be due to either asthma or acid reflux. Jon and I were hesitant to start him on too many medications but at this point, its time to start trying new things. Cross your fingers that we'll get this all figured out!

The good news is, Pax is still the happy baby he has always been. In fact, he has developed a sense of humor and is now constantly trying to make us laugh with silly faces and goofy games. His big beautiful blue eyes are show-stopping and he is the snuggliest, cuddliest baby you have ever met. We love him so much!
