Practicing football moves!

Taking it Easy

We had a lovely visit with Nannie and Grandaddy! (These pictures are from Friday, I took a lot, these are just some of my favorites!)

Paxton wearing his new “Grandma loves me” onesie I found at the thrift store in town! It looks brand new and was only $2!!

Caught in the act!! He looks so precious when he’s sucking his thumb!

Pulling and trying to chew on my hair…ow! (I’m thinking about getting my hair cut again because he grabs it at least 5 times a day!)

Self photography!!

When I had my camera out Emerson wasn’t in the best mood but she’s still cute! I’m amazed how much she’s grown and at her teeth, she has a mouth full!

Wearing outfit number two for the day!! I love what this onesie says!!

Cute little man with precious little feet!!

We didn’t do much on Friday, just spent time with Mom, Dad, Beka, Emerson, and my grandparents. My mom was sore and spent most of the day resting and we all just took it easy (except my dad who detailed my car…it looks fabulous!!)

One Sleepy Baby

Yesterday was quite the day. My car wouldn’t start yesterday morning and my mom fell down the attic stairs and had to go to the emergency room. (More details on Frugal & Simple Living.) Thankfully my mom is okay, she is just very sore and my car started and is running fine.

After all the events of the day, Paxton was feeling his mama’s stress and was one tired baby boy!

Ready to go to bed! Yes, our 4.5 month old still sleeps in gowns! We love them, his feet are not constrained and they are cool for summertime. (And we don’t believe that babies need to be bundled up, they get hot!)

Our precious little thumb sucker!

Relaxed and enjoying that thumb!

While Paxton was relaxing on the couch, Rebekah and I were attempting to put up Emerson’s Pack ‘N Play. We tried and tried for a solid 10 minutes! (Mom is the one who usually puts it up, she knows how it works!) Since we couldn’t get it up and mom was gone, we decided to go get the bassinet for Paxton to sleep in.

To get the bassinet, Beka had to venture into the attic! I was Beka’s “spotter” as she ventured up! She just got the actual bassinet and not the frame so it was like a Moses basket.

Sweet Paxton snoozing in the bassinet. He is just about too big! (He did not roll over at all throughout the night because he was so constrained.)

Good morning Paxton! See those sweet little hands…Emerson was very excited to see Paxton this morning!

She climbed into the bassinet with him! There wasn’t much room at all for those two but it was precious!

This shows you how big he is and how little room he had!

We’re having a nice relaxing day so far! Mom is taking it slow and I’m enjoying spending time with my family!

Visiting Grandparents

Playing with his Papaw!

Paxton and Papaw looking at Papaw’s dog Buddy! Paxton loved looking at the dog, he was watching where he went!

Still looking at the dog while Grandpa and Mamaw were trying to play with him!

I love this shot! Look at those expressive eyebrows!

Ah, classic Paxton these days, drool and bubbles!

Playing with mamaw!

He loves his puppy, especially chewing on the puppy’s nose!

Our Great Summer Trip

Paxton and I are on our great summer trip! We left Monday to visit with my dad’s family in Virginia so he could meet his great grandparents and great uncles, aunts and extended family! We enjoyed a few days there and Friday we met Annette and Jill (better known as Grandmother and Aunt Jill) to visit with John David’s family a few days!
