8 Months



MaKelle and Daxton are 8 months old now!! They are growing so quickly! MaKelle started crawling, or more like scooting, just before Christmas and now she can get around everywhere. Of course she always heads for the stairs, and she loves to find little crawl spaces behind my couches and in between furniture to crawl through! And now that she is mobile she has become like a little vacuum picking up every tiny little thing she finds and putting it straight into her mouth! I have to always be on the watch with her. Speaking of which MaKelle has cut a tooth! Her first tooth which is on the bottom right. None for Daxton yet, but I'm okay if we don't get any more teeth for awhile. Daxton is starting to crawl now himself. He hasn't really taken off yet, but he gets up into the crawl position and will take a few steps forward. He is starting to do patty cake and loves it! They both are starting to wave bye bye and are just so busy!! They have also had some colds and ear infections which have made them grumpy and it's seriously ruined any hope of sleeping through the night! We have also started feeding them finger foods and they are getting pretty good at feeding themselves. And like always bath time is so fun for them. Daxton loves to splash and MaKelle just enjoys the water. However Mom ends up soaked by the time she has bathed two slippery and wiggly babies! All in all they are happy!

CONGRATS!!



My sister had a beautiful baby boy on Jan. 7th weighing 10 lbs. 5 oz. His name is Daniel after our Dad. He has a lot of Dark hair and long dark eyelashes! After fighting off an oncoming cold (love Zicam!) We finally got to go to St. George to see them and hold that sweet little boy! Congrats JJ and Vuki on your sweet little Daniel!!
