Dax is ONE and *November pictures*

{NOVEMBER 13, 2010}

My baby is ONE!

I had mixed feelings on this day...I was excited to have a ONE year old but also sad at how fast this year disappeared. It's hard to believe my once tiny 5lb 14oz 18in newborn is now a 23lb ONE year old. He is a funny and crazy boy. He is shy around new people and loves to silently look around at new surroundings when we go out. People always comment on how good he is. I kind of enjoy it because he is very snuggly with Mom when new people are around! Let's just say he makes a good first impression! At home or places he is comfortable he is a different boy. He is a LOUD little monster exploring, climbing, and getting into everything! He can say "Mom- Mom" or "Ma-Ma," "Daaadd" or "Da-da" which is probably his favorite. He also says "hi" when waving, most of the time. He also tries to say "dog" but he forgets the "g" at the end. When he hears Jason's truck pull into the garage he starts screaming "Dad," "Dad," "Da-da." It's funny because he says the full word "Dad" more than "da-da." He LOVES his binki more than ever before...I think we are in trouble. He started taking a few unassisted steps right around his birthday! But he is now officially walking ALL over! Oh yeah...he LOVES to dance! When Dax hears music he insantly starts to dance. He will even dance while in his car seat! It is adorable to say the least! We are so SO happy this precious little man, Dax, is OURS!

Gifts from Mom and Dad

Cinnamon roll for breakfast...YUMMY!

Dax LOVES balls....he will even play catch with you!

The "egg separator" this thing goes everywhere with him!

Birthday party with friends and cousins at Nanny and Papa's...most the pics are on my Mom's camera though.

{Dad takes GREAT care of Dax}

Still LOVES his bottles.....always has his hand by his head or pulling his hair.

{Into Everything}

Sad boy when Mom puts an end to it.....

All better

{Dax LOVES spaghetti}

Big boy.....finally with drink out of a sippy cup! Although he will ONLY drink water no juice or milk. What kid doesn't like juice.....yep Dax does NOT.

We LOVE our blue eyed boy!

*October*

{Halloween}

Dax was a giraffe....the cutest giraffe ever! He hung out with Dad and cousin Lincoln on Halloween because Mom had to work. Dad did a great job of snapping this picture!

Dax and Lincoln

Mom got to see him in his costume at the daycare's Halloween carnival!

{First Haircut}

Handsome boy.....he sat very still too!

{Pumpkin Patch}

Dax wasn't too sure about the animals.

We never made it to the pumpkin patch because he got too cold.

{Makin' a Mess}

This is where you can find Dax....he LOVES to pull everything out of the cupboards, drawers, fridge and dishwasher. Maybe I should say he is OBSESSED.

{Bath time}

He is all over the place....he is very hard to watch in the tub! What a CUTE bum!

** 10 MONTHS** and SEPTEMBER

{10 Months}

HARD to believe my little man is 10 months old! And let me tell ya, he is a BUSY little monster. He gets into every drawer and cabinet he can. He also LOVES the dishwasher, fridge, and dryer. He thinks he is my little helper. Dax also has a little temper. If you take something way or stop him from doing something he SCREAMS and pouts until he gets held. It's cute most of the time! He still LOVES to wave "Hi" and "Bye" although he is shy around new people so he doesn't perform very well. Everyone who meets him is like, he is so easy going and quiet....ahh YEAH right he is a good teaser. It takes him a little while to warm up and then his true self shines! He talks and SCREAMS all the time. "Ma Ma", "Da Da", "Ba Ba", he even tries to say "hi" while waving. He recently said "Mom" too! And the screaming...OUCH he loves to hear his voice. He FINALLY has two bottom teeth. So, he is starting to eat more food and he LOVES it. Dax was sick for about 3 weeks on and off so he was put on his FIRST antibiotic because he just couldn't kick it himself. He was weighed at the office visit and he now = 21lbs 3 ozs! Holy crap, no wonder my back hurts all the time. I thought for sure he would start thinning out, but this little guy keeps getting chunkier and chunkier and I LOVE it!

YEAH for teeth!

Loves the measuring cup!

Mr. Blue eyes!

Standing and playing in his pack n play!

Ahhh.... from sweet little baby to sweet little monster!

Helping with laundry. Dax pulls the clothes out for me!

This is his face when he sees the dishwasher or fridge open....he "speed" crawls over!

Into EVERYTHING!

Waving!

My little innocent man!

Tricks!

Nothing stays on the table.

Dax LOVES the drawer in our coffee table.

{October FIRST}

Jack and Stephanie's wedding!

Hanging out before the ceremony...it was HOT!

Dax was so lucky. He got to play with his big cousin Colby the entire weekend. They followed each other everywhere. Dax even started walking with his walker toy once Colby left. (Colby pushed it around all weekend.) So yes, Colby even taught Dax something new. What a treat it was to have Jason's siblings at our house all weekend!

Notice Dax's curls.....yep the back of his hair is curly!

Playing, Playing, Playing!
