*NEW* 4 month PhOTos!

Here are some photos from Dax's 4 month photo shoot! I meant to have 3 month pictures taken...But I never got around to it. He behaved very well and was all smiles for the photographer! We had a fun time watching his photo shoot!

Dax is FOUR months!

Dax turned 4 months on the 13th of March. We visited the Dr. today and the results are in. We were curious as to how much he weighed since he started out so litte. SO................

WEIGHT: 14lb 7oz (34%) birth 5lb 14oz only in the (2%)
GOOD JOB Dax...you are catching up! We knew you would!

LENGH: 24in...around that. The girl that measured him was way off. So it's around the (50%).

HEAD: 15.9in (8%). I am convinced he will ALWAYS have a small head! But it's coming up too. At birth he was only in the 2%.

He is getting so fun! He laughs and smiles ALL the time. Makes LOTS and LOTS of baby nosies too! I LOVE his baby giggle it's the BEST! Lets not leave out the drool though....man he soaks his shirts! He is grabbing toys and finds a way to get them in his mouth. He even prefers his fingers over his binki now. He is starting to fight sleep though. For some reason he thinks he can stay up all the time. He will play until he gets so exhausted that he crashes in the middle of play time. Dad is doing a GREAT job with Dax while I am at work! Dax sure loves his Dad. Everytime he sees him he gets a BIG smile on his face. For some reason he thinks his Dad is funnier than Mom too. He laughs easier for Dad....maybe he thinks he is funny looking...ha ha!

Me and my sweet Dax man....I could just squeeze, love, & kiss him all day long!!

Good boy....LOVIN tummy time...at the moment

Dads got Dax's favorite holding position down!

Enjoying the outdoors in his bumbo!

Crashed in the BUMBO

This kid PLAYS himself to sleep....I love the one below....his eyes are barely open but he is STILL playing!

Asleep for the night in his pack n play.

Loves to suck on bottom lip...he reminds me of an old man. Especially since he is losing his hair too!

Dad takes good care of Dax while Mom is at work!

I just love him in this outfit for some reason...?

4 month ACTIVITIES!

BATH TIME

SPRINGDALE/ZIONS










We had a great day at the St. Patricks parade in Springdale....there were some interesting people there! Dax was entertained by the parade. He watched the entire thing! Dax even made his first trip to OSCAR'S..... with many more to come I am sure! He was such a good boy too and never complained!

AHHHH

More photos of Dax....


Leaving my Dax man @ home for another shift...:(

Fun Times

Dax and cousin Lincoln!

 

Dax's 3 month Adventures

Dax is so CUTE I just want to sqeeze him all day! (A NICE squeeze of course!) He is laughing and talking SOOO much! He has started to add a little scream in when he is laughing....it kind of scares him when he screams! His new favorite past time is blowing bubbles...well trying to anyway! When I come home from work in the morning he is awake and ready to eat! As soon as I walk over to his crib to pick him up he looks right at me and he gives me the BIGGEST smile!....it melts my heart! So Yes, I am back to work. It's going okay, but I can hardly wait to get home. I get the "butterfly" feeling in my stomach because I am so excited to see him...12+ hours is a LONG time to be away! Here are a TON of photos! It's so FUN to take his picture....I think I take too many...?

Dax's Surgery

Dax had hernia surgery on Wednesday. He had a LARGE hernia on the right and a small one on the left. ( He was just born with them.) I was nervous about how he was going to act without being able to eat. I was happy when I heard he could have breastmilk up to 4 hours before. I also had to give him a bath right before we went in. We were told to be there at 8:15am. So I decided to wake up at 4am and give him a bath and feed him one last time. When we got to the hospital the nurse tried to be so careful and not wake him up. But she did and he was ALL smiles and full of laughter! They were loving it....they don't get little ones too often. Everyone who walked by came and checked him out because he was so happy....little did he know what was about to happen. Of course, there was a HUGE surgery(that is what I was told) before Dax. Yep, they were running way behind....I expected them to be a little behind but way behind? I got so worried he was going to start crying, and he won't stop until he eats. I luckily got him to fall asleep.....yahoo! He slept until they came to get him. I was so relieved! He woke up when I layed him in the crib. We watched the anesthesiologist wheel him away. Then the CUTEST thing happened......DAX turned his head and looked back at us as they wheeled him away...SOOO CUTE! It made me tear up.

Then Jason I were left to wait. I was so anxious the whole time. About an hour and 20min later Dr. Lewis came out to give us the good news that Dax was done and all is well. He even said Dax was already awake and kind of crying! What a relief! They quickly came out and got us to go back with him. We got a private recovery room....it was nice! Dax cried a little and ate a little too....but mostly he slept! We spent about an hour in post op and then we were sent home! I have been so surprised how GOOD he has been. Dax has 2 incisions about an inch or so long, which pretty much cover his entire lower abdomen. They look so sore :(. I gave him Tylenol the first day a few times because I knew he HAD to be sore. The next morning he was back to his old self! He acted like nothing even happened. What a tough little guy!

Oh yeah!! He weighed 12.2 pounds! WOW, he has more than doubled his birth weight and he is not even 3 months yet. About 2 1/2 weeks ago at his 2 month appt he was 9 pounds 12 oz....go DAX!


Getting ready...such a HAPPY boy!


LOVE his chubby legs!
