8 months!

I love doing these monthly posts so I can look back to see how far Daxton has come and how much he has grown! I can tell you one thing.... he is growing WAY to fast! There are so many moments that I want time to stop so I am just trying to enjoy every second. We have been traveling a LOT lately and everybody says how good, mellow, and happy he is. I guess I need to start counting my blessing for that because I don't recognize it all the time! He might be all of those things, but he is also one of the wiggliest little critters EVER known on this earth. Holy cow.... the kid cannot sit still to save his life. Dang I love him though... SOOOOO much! Here are some things he has been up to...

-crawling like a maniac
-also figured out how to climb stairs.... eeeeeeeks. Time for gates I suppose.
-pulls to standing up
-loves to play under the table and climb all over it
-babbles dada, baba, mama
-fake coughing
-waving byebye (cutest thing ever)
-eats me out of house and home! Seriously, this kid can put it down and is still skinny!
-loves to be tickled and giggles like crazy
-loves to be outside
-is getting really good at feeding himself, but I don't let him all the time because it is SUCH a mess.
-he doesn't know a stranger and will go to anybody without a flinch
-sleeps 12 hours at night for the most part and takes two naps during the day.
-gives big -slobbery -open -mouth kisses.... YUM
-still no teeth, but I don't think it will be long
-this kid is tough as nails! such a boy!

Ummmmm..... can't think of anything else right now, but I LOVE this age. It is so so so fun. We are still adjusting our lives to the crawling, but I am starting to like it more and more.

His eyes are the craziest color and I so love them! They are mostly grayish/blueish but also have some green and brown speckals. SO beautiful.


He loves putting his feet on things and eats like this most of the time. Silly boy. See all that food? Yep, he eats all of it and cries when it's all gone.

This is under the table where he spends most of his time. He got a little high centered and I had to rescue him. Little Mr. Curious.
Yep, under the table again... see that sharp point to the right? Yeah, that scares me too. Next post he might not have an eye.

Under the coffee table..... that might have to go in storage for awhile to avoid concussions.


Welp, that is what we have been up to around here! I tried to post some little videos of crawling and waving, but they didn't work. sorry. :(
I have a lot of blogging to catch up on so stay tuned!

That is such a stuuner of his big eyes. Cute little stinker. I'm missing him something fierce, I just can't seem to get enough :)
