The Fair!

I love the fair.... so of course I want my child to love the fair! We packed Axel up and hauled him off to see the pigs, goats, sheep, etc this year for his first fair experience. As you can tell, he was super excited too....

Babies and Hats

Why are babies and hats so funny? I have no idea, but as I was looking for socks this morning I found this crazy backwoods hat and I had to put it on.... and take a picture of course. I am still laughing... HA!

When your child loves his mobile more than you

Matt and I are begining to have some self confidence issues... I think Axel loves his mobile and "hanging guys" a bit more than us. The only laughs we get are once he is laying under a moving animal.

How we love our animals!

Well, you always have to add in animal stories on a good blog....
Here are a few (with photos!) from the last few weeks.

Axel and I spent a day at the Grandparents house last week while Matt worked on the sewer line (yes ANOTHER water issue). I went into the other room to make a bottle and while Axel fussed their dog Shelby got a bit nervous.... When I came back into the room this is what I found. I guess Shelby figured a toy makes her feel better, why wouldn't it work for Axel!!



While walking by the bouncy seat, Motley decided that it was a GREAT place to stop in to take a nap. It was a good weight test for the bouncy and he ended up sleeping their all night!

Grandma's Birthday

Axel dressed up for Grandma's Birthday!

86%

Well we went to the doctor today and Axel is growing fast. He is now 13.3oz and 24inches long. He is at the 86% for wieght and height... as Grandma said "at least they are the same, and not 86% for weight and 10% for height". funny! Much to Axel's dismay he also had his shots today... I have never seen a child turn so red so fast. They were not recieved well.

The photo below is NOT from today, but a good photo from last week. A great shot considering our camera is not so quick. My trick... take a ton a pictures in a row and he should smile at least once.
