Remember when I used to "blog?" No? I don't blame you...it's been a while. If this blog were the only updates you had on my life you wouldn't even know that we welcomed Daxton into our family last year! Sorry. I am really going to try to be more diligent in updating the blog with our life events for those of you that enjoy reading/viewing updates on the grandkids our family.
Also, I am fully aware that the title of my blog, along with the pictures are VERY out-of-date. I promise they will be updated immediately. ...ok, by immediately I mean hopefully before next year, buuut...
Daxton; I seriously love this kid. He's known to many as "Mr. Serious", and it's true that not just anyone can get him to smile, or laugh. With us, however, he's very vocal; he laughs, smiles and talks (even "sings" on his mic) all the time! He is very tolerant with his big sister and loving towards her (most of the time). For example: on those rare occasions when she sits in time-out, he will stop what he's doing to go sit with her. I just know it's his little way of comforting her the only way he can...or he's trying to rub it in, but can't talk yet. I choose to believe the first; the latter will be a reality before too long anyway. He is very active-crawling, walking, climbing, pushing something, throwing something constantly. He loves opening my pantry doors and cabinets; emptying all the contents of either = life's greatest joy. He will eat anything. Seriously, anything. He loves food...people food, dog food...food. To look at him, it's an illusion of chubbiness though. Yes, his cheeks are delicious and his little hands and feet, too, but the rest is relatively "lean" for a baby. I mean, I can see his ribs people! He's faux chub-a-licious. ;) He has six teeth! And yes, they're incredibly adorable. He loves to be chased (what kid doesn't, right?). He has a really soft, bear chair in his room and he loves it! Before bed, before he gets his jammies on, he loves to lay and snuggle with it. One of the cutest things you will probably ever see.
Those are some of the traits he clearly inherited from his mother. He also can be very demanding and get quite frustrated if his demands are not met and in the time frame he sees fit. Also, if you have food and you're not giving him some...mini Brent. ;)
He's so fun. He makes me laugh.
I'm continually reminded how blessed I am that he joined our family. I can't wait to watch him as he continues to grow and see his little personality develop. I love watching the sibling relationship form between Dax and Bryn. So sweet. I hope that as they grow they'll be good friends...I know they'll fight...it's science.
Continuing with my annual tradition (which I have decided will only be in effect for the birth through the 1st year of life), I made a little video montage of Daxton's first year with us. Enjoy.

"Hey there...sorry there's no video, but my mom's working on it. I'll stay right here until it's ready."
...so...actually, I haven't figured out how to upload/export it just yet. Well, I have, but it's still not working!! (serenity now...serenity now...) Thank you Apple for updating you iMovie software so that it now sucks. Daxton's Movie: TBA.
UPDATE: iMovie works... however I've read that Blogger isn't very video friendly (since our last time on this site). Here is a link to Dax's video on Vimeo.
