HA HA

Thanks Uncle T for this link... I was laughing so hard this morning over this.

If you've ever seen me hand over my phone to Pax you might have more context for this.

Christmas Tree time!!!

So... Thanksgiving weekend we headed out to get our tree with Uncle T and Aunt Jean for the second year in a row. I planned ahead and bribed Pax to wear this shirt and a hat by telling him about the candy cane he would get on the way home! Doesnt he look great!


Pax was thrilled about the hay-ride. A big hit every time.




Then we began the search...


Pax was more interested in finding mushrooms...


Eventually we found just the right tree and the three guys in their flannel shirts lived into the lumberjack spirits and cut it down!




Later that day Pax and Aunt Jean made a star for the top of the tree and Uncle T helped him decorate while we all sipped on egg nog and/or hot cocoa. It was a perfect day!

Me and my brother

what I've been up to... written by pax

I decided to hold my baby brother yesterday for the first time. I told mama and daddy that he was heavy and then I was done. It was alright I guess. He cries a lot. I asked to hold him again this morning... I guess he's not so bad... unless he's crying...then I cover my ears and leave the room.

What I've really been into lately is making towers in my room with Grammy. I like to show Mama Daddy and Poppa when they are done. I've been decorating my towers for Christmas-time. I can even clean them up fast when I'm done.

Cookie Pie has been a solid companion through this hard week of changes. Mama even let me put a pull-up on him at naptime just like me. I sure love my cookie pie... and he never cries!

life as a big brother...

So, there have been a lot of special activities around here planned specially for Pax and his coming into big-brotherhood. I am so thankful for my parents being here. My mom first and now dad as well have made this time extra special for him with art projects, baking, reading new books, a new popper toy and lots of extra attention... it has been a lot of excitement for all. Pax is still adjusting, for sure, and this will no doubt go on for a while but he is making his way through it. This morning Ryan asked him if he wanted to say good morning to Remy. He politely replied, "no thank-you" and went on his way with playing with Grammy. He has mentioned a couple times that Remy is too loud and still has yet to hold him, but all things in their due time. His sensitive spirit promises a good big-brother... once he's ready.

making snicker doodles yesterday.


reading with Poppa last night.


Pax put on his new red boots this morning and walked to preschool with Grammy and daddy. I am sure it will feel good to him to be in his own schedule with no baby for a couple hours today! Yeah for preschool and yeah for Pax... We love you and know you are going to be an amazing big brother!
