We went to the zoo yesterday with my sister in law & her little boy, who is just older than Dax. It's so fun to watch these two play together & grow up as buddies. Dax loves the animals & because we are in AZ (& its hot), they have a few different splash areas around the zoo, so that you can keep cool while you are there. They boys loved that. It was a good time & it wore Dax right out, hardly made it out of the parking lot before he fell asleep. nice.
I hope we never have to go through this again! Broken arms are no fun for the parents. Dax didn't seem to mind it, but a huge pain for me. He did pretty good getting it off. I was impressed. He doesn't like going to the dr. at all, but he cried way less this time than he has the last few times we have had to go, so that is good! Maybe he is getting used to it.
The best thing about getting his cast off was that we went home & went straight to the pool!! He loved that. & now we are off to go swimming again.
We had an off day yesterday, from waking up before 6am & all. but by the end of the day things had worked itself out & got much better. Maybe it had to do with the blue coconut slushy from sonic? This messy boy can make the cutest faces. glad I caught this one in a photo. I am even using it as my wallpaper for my iPhone.
I really can't believe I am already over 6 months pregnant. This pregnancy has gone by so fast. The sad part, these are the first photos I have taken of my belly. With Dax we took pictures like every week. Funny how it goes from the first to the second. Dax is already loving being a big brother, he loves to give the baby kisses. Lets hope he is this gentle when he actually arrives. Yikes.
we finally got Dax a proper train table. & he loves it. I think I want to glue down the track, cause he just destroys it all the time. Anyone have suggestions on a type of glue that will work?
Dax has become impossible when it comes to diapers. He wants to take them off constantly. We have resorted in duct taping them on the backside to help with his temptations. It has worked so far. But as you can see from this picture, he did not want to stay put for me to take a picture of him in just his diaper. crazy/full of energy little boy.
Dax is what you would call baby hungry. Anytime he sees a baby he wants to hold them. Well, our friend had a baby this past week & we went to visit. he wanted her on his lap & he didn't want me to help. Should I be scared about this, as I am having a baby in a few months? I guess we'll see. I think we will have to go visit often so he can get lots of practice.
Giving a child a bath with a broken arm is seriously a task.
An annoying task.
But sweaty boys in the summer is not going to work for a pregnant very smell sensitive mama.
The no swimming thing in AZ doesn't work very well either.
We are just trying to get through the next few weeks until he gets it off.
Until then, things like this will continue.
