Well its HERE! Your Very FIRST birthday is today! I really can't believe It's already here!
You my dear are such a blessing! Mommy has been working hard the last couple weeks on your first year slide show. I've been skimming though all your pictures and can't believe the change in just one year!!
For your birthday we had a "baby dinosaur" theme! Your cake turned out awesome and so did your slide show! I have made it a tradition to have a slide show for each birthday. We all sit as a family and watch your entire year and how much you changed! I hope to always keep that tradition as the years go by because it is such a special keepsake. I can't think of a better way to celebrate your birth.
So whats new with Daxtin?
You are eating a whole lot more and feeding you has become a lot easier. You now usually eat what ever we are having just in smaller bites of course.
You are down to about 2 naps a day. Usually at 10am and around 4:30pm for the 2nd. Sometimes I get lucky and you go down with your brother at noon, but I find when I do that is messes up your whole sleep routine and you don't get the proper sleep you need and your a lot crankier.
You'r still crawling all over the place. We will see you stand up on your own and take a few steps here and there but for now you much rather get around on all fours. I think if we had more carpet in the house you would probably be running around by now. I find when we take you upstairs (which is the only place in the house carpeted) you attempt to walk a lot more.
You are starting to say words (well almost) let's just say you are GREAT at mimicking. I will say a word like banana and I swear you are repeating me. You catch on to things really fast and want to copy what everyone else is doing around you. You LOVE to play with your brother and destroy all his choo choo track making LoL. You love to play on your own and are very content doing so, which is lovely I might add. You love to play our "chase" game where daddy runs behind me and while I carry you we run away from him. You sure get a kick out of that one. LoL
You love to play on the bed and constantly throw your body in to the sheets over and over. (so cute) You especially love it when mommy joins you)
You LOVE LOVE stairs! Climbing DOWN the stairs to be exact! As soon as you see a door open you boot your little butt over there as fast as you can. When I beat you to it (YES sometimes you actually win) You look up at me with the saddest pout. It surprised me how upset you actually, and truly get, so most of the time I will let you go down with me behind you. You are actually really good at it.
You LOVE to get into Kiara's dog food!!!! Im not sure if it's actually the dog food you love or me chasing you away from it!?
Sometimes I will notice you going into the room and I can't get there for a few seconds and I'll run in and your sitting there at the door still waiting for me to notice, and THEN you boot it!! Such a stinker!
Oh Dax my life with two can sure get busy and stressful at times, but Boy do I LOVE it! Being a mom is the most rewarding job in the world and I'm so grateful I can stay home and be with you guys all day! You are my everything and I love you more than you could ever know!
Happy very FIRST birthday my loves!
xoxo
Mommy
