Wow, it has been forever since I've posted on this blog!
So much has changed since the last one!
Introducing....
MAEBRY DIANE BENAVIDES
What a beauty, huh?
Maebry was born November 27, 2012 @ 3:05 AM.
The night before I was scheduled to be induced,
she decided to come on her own!
I have a feeling this is how it's going to go with this one. She decides :)
Maebry has been a wonderful addition to our family. She is not quite 2 months old, but she already has an amazing personality.
My favorite part about having a girl so far, is of course, dressing her. I was crafting girly stuff like crazy before she was born. Ruffles, lace, and bows are just so much fun! Awww, we just love our little Maebry girl.
So what's new with Paxton?
Paxton will be 3 in March, and I can't believe it!
A lot has changed with Paxton since my last post. We started to notice a delay in his language development around 18 months. After discussing this with our doctor, we were referred to an ENT. A hearing test showed that Paxton wasn't hearing much at all. His hearing loss turned out to be related to a build-up of fluid in his inner ear. After countless hearing tests, appointments, and two surgeries for tube placement, Paxton is hearing great! He is still behind in his speech, but I am amazed at how fast he is learning and growing.
His favorite things:
Clocks- He loves counting all the numbers on clocks. He will watch digital clocks and say, "Oh, it's 14. Where's 15?" Pretty much all throughout the day. If there is a clock around, he will find it.
Mirrors- Pretty much any surface that he can see his reflection in, he loves. He dances in front of them, and makes all kind of faces. We joke that he is in love with himself. Although, I would be too if I was that cute!
ABCs- He learned his ABCs pretty soon after getting his hearing back. He will spell out any word that he sees on pretty much anything.
Woody and Buzz- Maebry gave Paxton Buzz and Woody dolls when she joined the family, and Paxton was so excited! He loves the Toy Story characters. Woody is his favorite one. He likes saying, "Howdy Howdy Howdy!"
It hasn't been the easiest thing transitioning to having a baby sister,
but Paxton is fabulous at showing his love for Maebry.
Having two kids is definitely different but such a blessing!
I need to be better about blogging because I have the worst memory!
Hopefully, I can keep up with it from now on...no promises though.
