Our First Vacation!

We hit the road for the first time as a family... off to the Land of Enchantment (aka. New Mexico)! Landon went hunting with his brother, uncle, and dad and the girls stayed home to mom the kids and shop to our hearts desires. This was the first time we have travelled with Daxton and i was just a tad nervous, but everything went pretty well, besides a small little trip to Urgent Care and some sickly little ones. We made it home though in one piece and are so glad we got to go! Here are some snapshots from along the way!

First of all, Landon's brother shot a HUGE Oryx, the animal that Landon shot last year and is currently hanging on our wall. He has never hunted big game before and this one is SO big it is probably among the top 20 the state of NM has ever recorded. GO STANTON!

This is little miss Claudia, his cousin. She is one of a kind and already loves my little one.



Just chillin with Nana Terisha and Grandma Jayne... the ultimate baby whisperers.

Auntie Mimi finally got to meet Daxton and his cousin Taylor. They are only a little over 3 weeks apart so hopefully they grow up to best buddies. Megan is the best aunt... as a mom you couldn't ask for better and it is so fun to see the people you love, love your kids so much. Don't you love their little scowls? So cute. Little Taylor is such a chunk and has the yummiest little rolls! You could just eat him. I never realized how yellow Daxton is! Oh well.


Nana Terisha, Mimi and all the cousins make a rucus, but we really had a blast besides my crying child. I thought he was mellow until i met Taylor! Daxton is such a wiggle worm and has a tiny bit of a fiesty personality. That is gonna make for some awesome terrible two's and teenage years. Yeah me.

I can't help by think he is just the cutest thing ever! Can you see all the hair growing on his head! It seems to grow an inch a day and i am SO glad! Man i have a cutie on my hands.

Today we also found out that Daxton has silent acid reflux, which is funny because it is all but silent! I don't know much about it, but he cries and cries everytime he eats(nurses) and it has been a little bit of a challenge for me. I would have switched to formula by now (not that that would help matters) if he had any interest, but nay. I don't blame him though... it smells and tastes pretty nasty. Does anybody have any tips or ideas for me on how to get him to eat a little better and cut out the screaming? They gave me an RX (Prevacid) and we are REALLY keeping our fingers crossed it will help. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Adios.
