This last weekend we took Paxton to the city pool here in illinois, he loves the water! "uncle Dean" and "Aunt Mallory" came too! It was so fun, and it wasn't crowded at all! It's our new favorite place to be!

Paxton is 9 months!!!
Where the heck has the time gone! Paxton turned 9 months on the 20th of June! CRAZY!! He is getting so big! He's going to be walking in no time, i know he would be able to do it if wanted, but he's able to get where he's going much faster by just crawling. He went to his 9 month check up a little early because we were visiting St. George and i really like his pediatrician. When we went they took his stats...he's 75% in height and 3% in weight haha so pretty much he's tall and skinny?? i guess thats better than short and fat?! He is just so active he burns off all his calories. We love him so dang much, his personality is the best! I don't know what we would do with out him!!! He now has 4 teeth, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom and he can bite HARD!! I'll just be sitting on the couch and he'll crawl over and bite my toe! he cracks me up!






Last saturday we went to the aquarium. Paxton was FASCINATED with all the fish! He would get so mad when we would leave a tank to go to a different one, he would throw a little fit! He would have stood there and looked at them all day if we would have let him!





The other day Paxton was being way to quiet, but i knew he was over in the corner where his toys were so i didn't think to much about it, a few minutes later he still hadn't made a peep, which is so not like him, so i decided to go see what he was up to. When i walked over this is what i discovered! 29 wipes scattered out all over! I said "Paxton, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" he just looked up at me with the biggest smile on his face and lifted his arms up to me like he wanted to be picked up! I wasn't mad, i was just surprised! i knew he would start being naughty like this one day, i just didn't know that day would be so soon!!




One of Paxton's favorite things to do is to play inside of the coffee table, He's getting so much better when he gets down, before he would pretty much just fall out and would hit his head about 90% of the time. whenever i haven't seen him for a couple minutes i know where to find him! in the coffee table is where he is!!





My dad has a boat that he uses for work, but sometimes on the weekend our family likes to take it up the chicago river, it's so much fun!! it's so cool to see all of the big buildings and it's even more fun since we don't have to fight crowds to do it!! no one is ever on the river so its much more enjoyable that feeling claustrophobic with all people! Paxton loves it, he mostly likes it when daniel holds him over the boat and hangs his feet in the water while we're going!! It makes me a little nervous but if he's happy i'm happy!!






Paxton LOVES to go swimming! It's seriously his favorite thing to do, he is a little fish!! It's nice that he loves to swim because it's so hot outside its torture to be out unless your cooling off in a pool! There is a city pool that we have been going to here in illinois, every time we go, everyone has to stop us and tell me how cute he is!

I had my 22nd birthday on June 15th! I LOVE birthdays! i think i should have one every month! It's nice to feel special and have a day to celebrate! I got a beautiful vase of flowers delivered to be in the morning from daniel, they were so pretty and they smelled so good! Later Daniel was able to get off work early so we could do dinner and a movie! My mom watched Paxton so it was just us two! it was so much fun!

Promise to do better!!
I have been so bad at blogging, but i promise that i will do better, Paxton is growing up so fast and i want to remember everything that he does. Time is flying by!
