When I asked Paxton his favorite animal he wanted to spend time watching he said, "elephants!" We spent lots of time admiring the cement mixer working on the penguin exhibit!
For our sweet, funny, wild, silly boys Paxton and Bennett. Our story told here.

Zoo
I dreamed about taking both boys to the zoo many times this summer. I thought, I have a double stroller so I can strap both guys in and we would admire the elephants for hours, but then reality set in. The first weeks of Bennett's life he spent crying or nursing so the zoo was out of the question. Now B is happy as a clam to get out of the house and we are too. I think this is what makes this zoo trip so special, we can do these things as a family of 4, we can enjoy it and it will only get better!

Little B is 3 months!!!
This guy is ticklish, so ticklish everywhere. Even when he is not being tickled he smiles just seeing our faces. There is nothing better than simply making eye contact with your baby and he smiles. If he's not smiling he is talking, I think one night he babbled to my Grandpa for a good 20 minutes.
Bob and I keep saying we turned a corner the minute Bennett turned 3 months. Maybe he is more content, maybe we are better at juggling 2, maybe we are less sleep deprived (he sleeps 7-5 most nights!!)? Whatever it is, it's better! Just last week we took him out of his swing for naps and bed time and put him in his crib, and he slept! Bob sold the swing on Craigslist the next day (he doesn't waste time) and I felt a sad, because we are done, done with a swing, done with a sweet newborn occupying the swing. Just another reason to cherish the time when Bennett is little! Below are Pictures of Little B at 2-3 months!

Paxton Conversations
Some recent conversations with Paxton!
Me: "Hi honey"
Paxton: "Hi honey momma!"
Me: "Thanks buddy!"
P: "Thanks buddy momma!"
Me: "What are you thankful for today?"
Paxton: "Spicy. Ketchup is spicy."
Me: "Yup buddy it sure is...!"
I'm putting beer in the fridge.
Paxton: "Daddy's pop!"
Lately we've said to Paxton that he can climb certain things at the playground when he is the age of 3 or have certain things when he is 3. So now...
Lady at the grocery store asks: "How old are you?"
Paxton: "3"
Almost always he ends his sentence with momma or daddy.
"My blueberry is under my plate momma!"
"I did it daddy!"
Love being around this guy and having conversations with him!

What's for dinner?
Lately Paxton has brought something with him to the dinner table. I captured a few of his choices (a spider, saw and dig dig) and it is obvious he is all boy. It's simple things like this that make us smile!
