The last post I did was Maebry's nine month pictures.
I took the kiddos to the 9/11 Memorial to get some shots of both of them.
Here are some of Paxton's pics...
Paxton loved the flags.
He had a lot of fun running around and checking them all out.
He is wearing his new shoes in these pictures.
I ordered him the same shoes his Dad wears.
He calls them "Dada's shoes."
He feels pretty cool walking around wearing shoes like Dad.
Paxton has been doing great in school.
He loves going, and even asks if he'll see his new bestie every morning.
He has been a bit grouchy due to the schedule change, but I think he's getting used to it.
He loves the songs they sing and is constantly singing all day long.
He also sings super loud in the shower :)
He is talking all the time, and he is constantly learning new words.
He is pretty dang smart, and has started writing letters.
He loves using signs and knows the whole alphabet in sign language.
He just soaks up so much every day.
It is so wonderful to see him becoming so much better at communicating.
It can be pretty stressful when you and your child have a hard time communicating.
He will probably be in speech for a while, and he definitely needs work on pronunciation.
BUT he has come such a long way, and it makes me so proud of him.
He loves going on walks, riding his bike, and jumping on the trampoline.
I am nervous for winter, because I have no idea what he's going to do.
I love this next picture. He makes us laugh all the time.
He's getting so big :(
Our little boy is not so little anymore.
Paxton is still one of the sweetest kids ever.
He gives great hugs and loves to spend time with family and friends.
He sure loves hanging with the boys too.
He loves to wrestle, chase, and play catch.
I love the relationship Paxton has with my younger brother.
His Uncle Preston is someone that Paxton lights up when he sees.
He can't help but laugh loudly when Preston is around.
I can see Paxton looking up to Preston for years to come.
His new favorite movie is Wreck It Ralph,
and his favorite book right now is "I Love You Stinky Face."
He also loves the book "Love You Forever," but Mom has a hard time getting through that one.
His favorite foods right now are hot dogs and grapes.
He is still a super picky eater, but I deserve that.
I tried to get a few pictures of both the kiddos together.
Paxton has discovered how easy it is to make his sister laugh.
He has always done silly things to get laughs, but now he knows he has an easy audience.
He can get her laughing so hard.
It is seriously the cutest thing.
He still doesn't pay too much attention to Maebry, but boy is he protective of her.
The other day we were playing with other kids,
and P man ran from the other side of the room to stand in front of Maebry
so one of the smaller kids couldn't steal her toys.
He stood there and protected her for the longest time.
Any kid that came close got a "NO!" from big brother.
Every now and then I'll catch him talking to Maebry and patting her head.
I was taking a few pics of the kiddos the other day and Paxton put his arm around Maebry.
It was just a little gesture, but it made me so happy.
Those sweet little moments between the kids just melt my heart.
He doesn't realize that she will probably be his permanent shadow once she can walk around.
I think those are most of the things I wanted to document so I wouldn't forget.
What a beautiful day at the beautiful flag memorial.
