Ok, so most of the pics are from Daxtons Birthday, but for Todd we went and ate at Texas Roadhouse. It was pretty funny, they had a person dressed as an armadillo that Daxton was really scared of when we first walked in. I of course comforted him, and said it's ok, and gave him a hug. The person in the costume noticed he was scared and walked around the corner where he couldn't see. The next few days Dax kept holding my face, saying "scared?" then he'd pat my back and say, "it's ok." I don't think we could have asked for a sweeter or cuter kid. He is so adorable.
We had 2 birthday parties, one big one for the millions of people in Todd's family with April birthdays.......ok for 4 of them, but that was only some of the April birthdays. Then we had a big party with everyone at our house. It was pretty crazy. I'm waiting for the year it's warm enough at the end of April to just do it outside, cause our house just isn't big enough for that many people. So far both years have been really cold.
Todd turned 29 and Dax turned 2. Daxton is talking so much. You can pretty much just communicate with him now. It's pretty nice knowing what is going through that head. One of his favorite things to say is "mine, not yours" ha ha ha... I said he's 2 right? We are working on the sharing thing. Him and his cousin Abbi have butted heads since probably about a year ago. They are always fighting about something. I think it's starting to get better though. Dax is starting to understand the concept of sharing. It's taken constantly working with them to get to this point though.
Another of his favorite things to say is "come here" and "lets go." It sounds more like, "come ern its go", but we can all undrestand. He even says, "come here doggy, lets go Titan," but he say's Titan like Tie-at. It's pretty cute, he grabs your hand and tries to drag you with him. We BBQ'd with my cousin the other day who has twins that are about 8 months older than Dax, and he was doing that to them instead of me for a change. It was nice to have a break, and also nice that he is big enough to just go play with them now without us watching his every move.
Camping should be fun this year. For his birthday, we got him a little fishing pole and a camping chair. Also, from the easter bunny he got a shovel, rake, hoe set. He loves following me around the yard when I'm cleaning up dog poop (ewww). He grabs the snow shovel and helps me find the piles. He will have fun with the new tools helping us in the yard this year. I think he'll really enjoy trying to fish with us too. He likes being part of the action.
We put Dax in a toddler bed about a month ago. Amazingly, he did awesome. He still hasn't gotten out of bed once. I guess he was ready. He has always been really good at adjusting to things like that though. When we switched him to a sippy from a bottle and to milk from formula, a little over a year ago, he just switched and didn't even make a peep about it. Hopefully he'll adjust well to the new baby coming. He is always amazing me when it comes to adjustment. Every time I'm worried about something, it doesn't even phase him. Let's hope that's the case this time too.
