GROCERY SHOPPING WITH STYLE

Grocery shopping with mama has taken on a whole new meaning for Pax. He usually is in his car seat (in the basket) or in the sling (on me)....but yesterday, we tried out his new blanket contraption that goes in the basket. He loved it. He may still be a little young for it...seeing as how he kept tipping to one side, but it sure was fun. I was so amused by him that I couldn't concentrate on my shopping. Oh well.

BOYS, BOYS, BOYS

Here's some recent pics of Paxie with 2 of his best buddies, Durham and Jasper.


MEMPHIS TRIP

Pax had a great time in Memphis a few weeks ago...other than not sleeping much at night. We'll blame that on the mean ole tooth that was breaking through. I've posted some of the pictures to flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rogerselise/

This was the best shot of the weekend...thanks to BB!

EXERSAUCER AND WHAT NOT

Pax is loving the exersaucer...thanks, once again, to Julie and Glen (Riley's parents) and it gives mama one other means of entertaining the baby while she gets ready in the morning.
Don't know if you can see Pax's 'hairdo' in this picture, but he has some little curls that show up just after a bath and in humid weather. And, yes, I'm in complete denial that this baby is getting too big for this car seat :( We go to the doctor on Friday. Can't wait to see how much he weighs!
Check out the baby's new hat. We go on walks so often and we needed one to shade his face more. Here we are about to journey to the library.

KICKING AND FLAPPING

Pax cracks us up. Here he is flapping his arms and kicking his legs.

BATHTIME FUN ONCE AGAIN

THE LATEST

Here are a few highlights from the past few days. Julie, Glen and Riley came over for dinner. Here's a picture of our naked jaybirds, just before putting them to bed. Pretty darn cute!
Since Pax is in the heat of the teething battle, he puts anything and everything in his mouth, including any fingers in his reach. Look out. That little snaggle tooth hurts when he chomps down! I think it's hilarious when he fits the whole rattle head in his mouth.
Well, we turned a corner yesterday...Pax decided that he does LOVE something besides milk. Since he was excited, I got even more excited and I brought out everything that I had tried to introduce this week.....rice cereal, then sweet potatoes, then peas. I didn't try the bananas again. Now I'll try to calm down and go back to 1 food per day...for 3-4 days at a time. It was just too fun to see his excitement and his little bird mouth opening up for it. Here's the aftermath:
