Pax update!!

Somehow, the past three years have gone by in a flash!! It seems like just the other day Pax was born, and now he is 3 years old!!! I remember so clearly carrying him around in the Baby Bjorn... and now he is longer than my body!!!

People always say that the time flies by so fast when your kids are little!! Now, I am really getting to see what they mean by that! Here is a little recap of Paxton's first three years! :)

Paxton Stephen Gerhardt (middle name my Dad's name) was born on February 15, 2008 at 11:45 pm. He was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 2o 3/4 inches long. Paxton would quickly steal mommy's heart! He was a snuggly little baby and did not cry much at all!!

Here is a picture of Paxton just hours after his birth!

The first year of his life was a busy one! We moved houses, Monet would turn 2, Daddy would lose his job and go back to school, Mommy would also go back to school that year as well. He grew up in a flash, and remained our cuddly and super easy baby! Pax was always smiling, and such a good sleeper! He loved his crib soo much!

This is a picture of Paxton at age 1!

The next year of Paxton's life would include another move, and changing of lifestyle as Mommy would go back to a traditional University and Monet and Pax would go to daycare. It was a pretty hard adjustment for all of us, but we adapted well. At this point, Paxton's personality really began to show! He still remained a happy and sweet little guy! However we would notice that his personality was much different from his sister's! He is a shy guy, that is often slow to warm to new people and situations. He would get tubes in his ears at 18 months, which would help his language to begin to develop much more rapidly!

Paxton had just turned 2 in this picture!

This last year has been busy as well!! Paxton joined Monet at school on the campus where I attend school. Paxton has really come out of his shell this past year, and has begun to talk soooo much!

Here is a picture of 3 year-old Pax! :)

Now I will update you on what Pax is into now!

He is a little lover! Some of the things that he loves!

One of my favorite things about Pax is all of the funny things that he says and the cute ways he pronounces things:

~"Morange" = orange

~"Mingers" = fingers

~"Manwich" = sandwich

~"Mandurger" = hamburger

~"Queen Car" = lightning mcqueen

~"Loody" = Woody

There are a lot more too, but those are some of my favorites! :)

Paxton is such a sweet little guy with a very sensitive heart. He is learning so much! Things that he knows/does now:

~Speaks in full sentences and carries on conversations

~Hops on one foot

~Gallops

~Does somersaults

~Shoots baskets (and makes them!)

~Can hit a baseball with a bat

~Rides a tricycle

~Knows how to count to 12

~Recognizes many of his letters

~Knows all of his shapes and how many sides they have

Our little man is growing up so quickly! We just love him to pieces!!!!
