"Let's Talk"

Although Dax has been cooing for quite sometime, he now makes conversation with his vast range of noises and will carry it on for 20+ minutes as long as you are conversating back. He does it when you talk to him like a normal person, but he's definitely more talkative if you talk baby language back to him instead. Of course the conversation always begins with a huge smile and ends with one as well. Maw Maw says she just knows he's going to be a cut up and Grandmother says he has the gift of gab. Well, we'll surely see: I started talking at 6 mos. as we found out when Uncle Alan found a cassette tape that my mother's mother recorded of me saying horsey at 6 mos. And if he is quite the talker, well.... we all know he came by it honest. ; )

8 weeks old!

That Mobile Actually Works...

I put Dax down in the crib and played the mobile and it put him right to sleep. Guess he was a born to be an AU fan after all. A big thanks to his 1st cousins Robby and Brandy Davis for the crib bumper - they monogrammed the "Baby Tiger" on there for him. They are Alabama fans too so I'm really appreciative. Ha ha.

Sweet Dreams

In the beginning when Dax appeared to be dreaming, Clint said that "he must be dreaming of God, because that's all he knows." Several weeks back (and last night as well) he would move his mouth like he was sucking on a bottle which we like to think is what he is dreaming about.

Dax's Future Fishing Buddy

Caleb Matthew has arrived and he is adorable. We went and saw him last night. He has to stay in NICU for a little longer but Joleigh and Matthew got to hold him for the 1st time last night and he looked very healthy and ready to get out of there!

It's Maw Maw's Fault This Time...getting peed on again.

Since it turned out Mom was home and was easily talked into going shopping Dax got to go on his 1st shopping trip. It was a lot of fun. After we met Clint in Irondale Mom and I decided to eat lunch at Logan's Roadhouse. Dax's lunch was already out of the way so we didn't need his approval - so you would think.

It's an ongoing joke about how often I get peed on. Dax has become notorious for waiting until the exact minute that I let my guard down so as to pick the right moment to pee on me every time. Even though I learned early on to put a cloth diaper over him in case it takes me a bit to clean him up before putting on the new diaper, this of course isn't enough.

When we were at Logan's the waiter and my mother obviously were in a hurry, because both of their actions insisted that I order something instead of finishing changing Dax's diaper 1st. The waiter kept showing up after I had asked him to give us a minute and my mother kept telling me what was on the menu even though I told her if she gave me one second I'd look for myself. I didn't have a cloth diaper with me or the new diaper covering him while I was wiping him off. However, the waiter and my mom were growing impatient so I finally gave in and thought I'd glance at the menu real quick so I could get them to let me change his diaper in peace. So I threw a wipe over him and glanced at the menu and no sooner than I looked away I felt something warm all over my thigh.

Yep, Dax had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to let it flow - and it did; all down my leg.... Thanks MOM - and you creepy Logan's waiter! LOL! It was great too, because all the nice people that had awed over Dax when we were on our way to the table - laughed under the breath at me as I passed them on my way to the bathroom to get a wet paper towel to get the pee pee off of me. It was easy to see to, especially since the wet stain on my jeans ran from my hip all the way down to my knee. It was almost as fun as when Dax peed on my head. ; )

Dax's Oversized Sleeper

Dax is smiling a lot but I can never seem to catch it on video yet but I'm getting close. But when he does get excited, I can't help but to play with him - even if it is bedtime. He's hitting a growth spurt too, so he's waking up (or staying up) all through the night. He's outgrown most of his sleepers so I bought more when Mom and me went shopping the other day. It's too big but no worries, by the way he's eating he'll be in it by the end of this week.

Visiting Special/Important Family Members - The Great Aunts & Uncles

I always loved visiting my Aunts and Uncles, although my Aunt Sheila will tell you different since I called her mean when I was little - ha ha. She of course isn't mean at all. Since I love them so much, I know Dax is going to love them too! I stopped by my Aunt Sherry and Uncle Merrill's house 1st and got to see Misty (Aunt Misty) my 1st cousin as well. Uncle Merrill wasn't there so Dax and I came back later on in the week. The picture I have added of Dax's Great Uncle Merrill holding him was actually taken the 1st day we were home from the hospital. Uncle Merrill bought Dax an AU passy which we are so grateful for since we know just how hard that was for him to do since he is a BIG UA FAN! ; )

After I left there I went over to my Uncle Alan and Aunt Sheila's house and got to see Leah too. Due to it being late and I was on EMPTY along with the fact that they had shut down the oil refineries and every gas station in Mt. Olive had a huge line for gas it finally hit me that I might ought to get gas immediately before Mt. Olive gas stations ran out. So I had to leave Dax with them for a short while. Believe it or not the 1st station I went to which was Mt. Olive Grocery (I think - we used to call it L&L) was out of gas and the next one I went to said they were about to run out. Glad I went when I did. While I was gone Dax got hungry and Aunt Sheila fed him a bottle (she's still a pro). ; )

"Dax's 1st Friend Is Going To Be A Girl!"

Morgan and I finally got around to letting Dax and Micah finally meet for the 1st time. We probably would have done it sooner, but things just kept coming up. Micah is almost 2 mos. older than Dax. During mid summer when she was here but Dax was still soon to arrive we were sitting around and I was showing Clint a picture of Micah and it suddenly dawned on Clint that "Dax's very 1st friend is going to be a girl!" haha! I guess it also hasn't dawned on Clint that Lizzie Baker and I have already prearranged Dax's marriage to her daughter Sadie. ; ) He hasn't met her yet but it won't be long... will it Lizzie?!

Much to mine and Morgan's dismay Dax slept the whole time (probably because Mama's talking puts him to sleep) and Micah was awake the whole time (because she didn't want to miss anything). When it got time for them to go, I walked Morgan out to the car and left Dax in the house with Clint. When I walked back in, Dax was wide awake. Dax must have been bashful. When I talked to Morgan later she said that Micah fell asleep as soon as they got down the road.
When we got ready to take a picture of them it took a while because Dax was asleep and would not stay sat up but we finally got one. I put the whole picture sequence on this page because it's absolutely too funny and cute when you look at the pictures one after the other.
