6 months with Axton

Favorite Things: Moving. You love to move around and are slowly finding your way around, inch-by-inch.

Special Talent: You eat just like a little bird. Open mouth and waiting. It is the most convenient thing!  You love your rice cereal mixed with plenty of formula powder. Not a big fan of butternut squash but you like yourself some applesauce.

Favorite Pastime: Eating. You love this eating business.

Sleep: Ummm. We have been a little in survival mode as we get this house together that we bought three months ago and I still have not got you on a nap schedule. It's a hit and a miss. The most amazing thing is that you will sleep in your carseat with hardly any rocking or prep. You cry a little, I pop you in there, and you fall asleep. It has been amazing. Thank you sweet boy!

Crying: You've gotten a little fussier this month because you want so bad to be moving around. Faster. More efficiently. Every time I walk past you on your tarp that we have set up for you on the kitchen floor you squack a little.

Dislikes: Being alone. You always want someone right there with you. Preferably holding you.


My Favorite Part: Watching Alaska be excited about your mile-stones. She is your biggest cheer-leader and has enthusiasm to spare as she bounces up and down and laughs as you take a couple tries at moving or when you eat. You were having a hard time getting going one evening and Alaska says, "It's ok, because we are a great family." Which was just a gentle reminder that we are all in this together. Our triumphs and our falls - we can do them with grace because we can do them together.

Those eyes are going to send some girl that has a crush on you into a tizzy. They are holding out, staying dark, but multiple colors inside. You have a predictable brown stripe in your left eye, but the rest of everything changes and evolves.
