Happy 2nd Birthday Grayden !!!

Grayden.......I can't believe we are celebrating your SECOND birthday! Time is flying by so fast and it scares me!

We celebrated your birthday on February 20th and it was of course.....all about DINOSAURS! We had so much fun!! the highlight of the party was the dinosaur piniata !! You had a blast hitting that thing and found it hilarious! I almost didn't buy that thinking you were to young for that but boy would I have been wrong! We opened your prezies after that and you of course were spoiled with gifts and dinosaurs GALORE! We had cake and then watched your second year slide show :)

So what is new now that Grayden is TWO !

We are slowly in the process of trying to potty train you. We have sort of put it on hold for a few weeks just until I feel we are on a steady routine with Daxtin. You actually peed on the potty for the first time on ................ I was so thrilled! ...Well I caught you going in the bath but I could tell you didn't want to pee in there because you were trying to hold it so I put you on the potty quick and you PEED!

You also cut your two 2nd mollers on top! I had no idea but now I realize why we were having a hard time with you at night time a few weeks ago.

You are officially FINALLY sleeping completely through the night!!! THIS IS A BIG ONE! We start getting you ready for bed at 8pm and you are in bed by 830pm. We brush your teeth, read you a story, sing a song, kiss you and tell you we love you, and you turn around and you put yourself to bed! You usually wake up at 6am on the dot and we go in and give you a kiss and you go back to bed until about 8am. So proud of you!!!

You have started to say a few more words.....Gone, All gone, go,go go, All done. Any time you want someone to follow you or to come where you want them you grab our finger and say " Go Go Go"
Your getting there.....slowly but surely!

We have started putting you on TIME OUTS and its no fun! You can be such a stinker sometimes and love to do things you know your not supposed to do. You love to hit the big TV and always look at one of us to see if were watching before you do so. You love to STEAL DAXTINS SOOTHER and watch to see if anyone is watching you. You love to throw your food on the ground...etc..etc. LoL Daddy is definitely the disciplinarian in our house. I discipline when I need to but I have a harder time giving in than daddy does...LoL

I CANT BELIEVE MY BABY BOY IS TWO!!

Two years ago today you completely changed my life. Everyone knows that mommy has a terrible memory but I remember EVERYTHING about that day! I remember how excited I was that we were finally going to meet you some time that day yet completely nervous and scared that somthing would go wrong or that anything would happen to you. I remember the feeling that came over me when I saw you and held you for the first time and how my heart became yours instantly. I remember the first time you opened your eyes and how proud I was to be your mom. It was an emotioned filled day much like today as I gaze at the clock remembering what was happening at that exact moment two years ago.

You have no idea how grateful I am for you and how blessed I feel to be your mommy! You have me wrapped around your little finger and I could not imagine my life without you. You bring us so much joy and love that I can't begin to describe. I love you more than life itself and there isn't a thing you could possibly ever do that could change that.

Love you to pieces Grayden
Happy 2nd Birthday

Royal Tyrell Museum !

We took you to Drumheller for part of your birthday celebration and we went to the "Dinosaur" Museum! Nana and Papa came along with Grandma and Grandpa Beecher! It was the first time just you got to hang with both your grandparents! You absolutely loved it as I imagined you would. I can't believe how much you LOVE your dinosaurs! The museum isn't as big as I remembered and there is alot of reading and info around so we got through that place in no time. Obviously you werent interested in the videos or the reading you just wanted to look around dinosaur after dinosaur.....so it didn't take very long! We could have spent the entire day out in Drumheller and I just wish we had more time! Nana and Papa had to get home for Auntie Sasha so we just drove through town but we plan to take you there in the summer when its warmer and take the camper for the weekend! They have dinos everywhere and almost every store theme is dinosaurs so Im looking forward to it.

Heres some pics at the museum!

Dax is one month old!!

It's your first one month birthday Dax! I always wondered what it would be like to have two children and how you could love another child just as much.....exactly the same as your first. But its definitely true Daxtin. I love you and your brother more than anything! You have been such a blessing and a perfect addition to our family. I already can't imagine our lives without you!

You are such a precious little boy and light up my day no matter how tired I may be :)

So what has the month been like with Daxtin....

The first week you slept almost through the night. We went to bed around 1130pm/midnight and you wouldn't wake up until around 530am somtimes 6am. Then you got a nast bum rash and it was atleast every 2/3.
Right now you are back to sleeping a good 5 hours straight which is sooo nice!!

You are already A BIG mommas boy just like your big brother! You know when mommy has you and DEFINITELY when mommy don't ..LoL ! You love to be held and hate it when we sit down with you ( most of the time ) You love it when mommy puts on your sling and walks around with you. You fall asleep instantly!

The first couple of weeks you HATED your baths and even bum changes. Anything that had to do with taking any article of clothing of you hated! But now you don't mind your baths and you LOVE to be changed. We try to air you out after a bum change for at least a few minutes and you love to sit there and kick your legs about. Sometimes when you get fussy with daddy he'll just lay you down and change your bum to calm you down even if you don't need one :)

You have grown so much this month You've got the chubby cheeks going and the rolls are comin out already too :)

Well Daxtin I feel so blessed to be your mommy and thank heavenly father everyday for sending you to our family. You are mommys world and I can't imagine my life without you!
Happy 1 month birthday

Happy Valentines day

Happy First Valentines Day Daxtin!

For Valentines Day this year we spent the day at home (Like everyday these days) and watched the BEE MOVIE with Grayden! I love movie nights with my family! Grayden is in love with animated movies like that. He's not into the old school "101 dalmations" or "jungle book" movies. The only old school movie he will actually sit through is little mermaid...LoL Anyway it was a perfect way to celebrate Valentines with my Boys!

Happy Valentines Day!
