Project...

I've always been the type of person who loves to think of projects. I'll get this great picture in my head of how I want everything to look and how it's going to be so much fun and easy. Then every single time, once I start my "great" project, I quickly realize how difficult it's going to be and start wishing I had never began. Kind of like when you start to clean your house, but then as you're putting something in a drawer you start to clean out the drawer and then make an even bigger mess than what you started with.

So tonight was one of those nights. I've been wanting to rip up the carpet in our living room for awhile now, but David kept trying to persuade me it wasn't as easy as I thought. I finally talked him into letting me, so tonight I tried to conquer this task. I got about 10 minutes into it before I realized it wasn't easy and it sure wasn't fun. My dining room is now full of all our living room furniture and Paxson was scared to death of the shop vac. Christen is coming tomorrow to help me, so hopefully that will make this project better (hopefully she doesn't see this picture before then or she might change her mind!).

gross...




On another note, Paxson found his little thumb! And he is rolling over from his back to his tummy. He also slobbers like crazy and his poop is really starting to stink. Oh and he loves airplane time.










He will put anything and everything in his mouth.






I Love this picture..



He thinks he's big enough to sit up.

Pictures!

I can't believe how big my little boy is getting. He'll be 3 months on Sunday! Everyone says it goes by fast but you don't really understand until you're experiencing the real thing! David and I are enjoying every minute. Here are some updated pictures....finally!!!!

His 2 month shots =( He did really good. I held his hands and I think it hurt me more than it hurt him.



Our before church photos. We have to always find a way to walk in just a little late.







He loves tummy time....usually.









Wearing his shoes his Daddy picked out..



Sorry this picture is a little x-rated. Pax loves his bathtime! He probably just sits and wonders where his parents came from as I continually sing "srub a-dub-dub three men in a tub" and David catches his pee in a cup.



It seems as though Pax already has his daddy's legs. He may have been born the smallest, but I believe one day he will be large and in charge compared to Cam and Evan! =)

Rolling over...

Paxson is getting SO big! He loves to tell us about his dreams when he wakes up =) He just talks and talks and has the cutest smile in the world. He's perfect. Oh and he officially rolls over every time we put him on his belly...








Hopefully I"ll get some more pictures up tomorrow!

Paxson's First Cubs Game!

Paxson and I got David tickets to the Cubs/Cards game for his birthday. We drove up the night before to stay with Michelle. Brad and Christen decided to drive up and try to scalp tickets. Somehow they ended up getting seats about 15 rows in front of us! Then the people behind them never showed up so we all got to sit together. To make it even better the Cubs won!


On the metra that we were just barely on time for! (imagine that)




the standard Wrigley Field photo..Paxson is hiding in his sling




Cameron was such a nice cousin..he gave Paxson his hat the he also wore to his first Cubs game






Paxson stayed awake for almost the whole game and he was such a good baby!




But I think he was worn out after the extra innings...

1st Family Vacation!

We were very fortunate to go see David's family in North Carolina! It was great to get away for awhile and even better to spend time with his family. Paxson was very loved and spoiled! It was very hard to say goodbye knowing that we probably won't see everyone again until Christmas =(

Paxson did very well on his first plane ride. We changed a few poopy diapers on my lap..



Like I said Paxson was very spoiled...I don't think he got put down too many times =)










We celebrated Grandma O'Malleys 30th birthday =), David's 23rd Bday, and my 24th Bday!




Grandparents for the first time =)



Uncle Kevin always made Pax cry....jk...he actually put him to sleep a number of times.





He thinks he's big stuff! I sure wish he'd stop growing up so fast =(



We hung out with hundreds of chickens (don't be jealous)



We took Paxson swimming...




He didn't so much like it....so he slept on the table instead



David's mom made us some clothes...




and then we had to say our goodbyes... =(




WE MISS YOU GUYS!! thanks for a great week!

My Bday/4th of July...

So I'm about a month late in blogging this but who's counting. We've been super busy this month between vacation (which I'll blog about later), going back to work, and raising a growing baby boy! Here are some pics from my 24th bday and Paxson's first 4th of July!


My wonderful sister was home for a little over a month! It was great having her here, but sadly she had to go back to FL =(







David made ice cream balls for everyone at my bday party...



and this was when Paxson used to sleep all day....he even slept through the fireworks!




the three little rascals..





this was the only way we could get them all to sit still for a picture..(looks like we even got a little bit of deanderthal's house in this one!...haha)
