Month Two

Monday marked Nixon's second month of life.

He is still such a joy. He is growing like a little weed, I swear he changes every day.

This month he has started to like:

- To chew on his left hand/thumb. It is constantly in his mouth

- Yo Gabba Gabba. When at my sisters house, we were playing with him with a Brobee toy and he loved it. The next day I thought I would see how he would react watching the show and he just sat there staring and smiling.

- His baths. He hated baths at first but now he just smiles the whole time.

- Lately he has really enjoyed peek-a-boo

This month me and Brad have been loving:

- That Nixon's hair is coming in. All of a sudden is bare head started to sprout dark hair and it has been growing like crazy.

- How smiley and happy he is in the morning.

- just everything about him.

This month he got to meet his bff Reid.

And got to play with Auntie Lexie.

He also got to meet his favorite Adam, and got a sweet Elmer Fudd hat from him.

On Tuesday he got his two month Shots. Right as they stuck the first needle in his leg he turned bright red and started to cry. He kept looking at me like I had betrayed him. It was pretty sad.

While at the doctor we found out how big he is now

Weight : 11 pounds 8 oz = 18th percentile

Length: 23.5" = 51th percentile

Head circumference: 16.3 = 69th percentile

We sure do love this little guy!

A name and a blessing

Today Nixon was blessed.

It was such a special day. All of our brothers and brother-in-laws ( minus Dr. Nate ), our dads, my grandpa Olsen and our wonderful friend Dan were able be be there to stand in the circle. It was so great to have so many wonderful priesthood holders help with this special blessing.

Nixon did so good during the blessing. Right before it was time he got the hick-ups. I was worried because they always make him a little upset, but he just kind of jibber jabbered a little bit during the blessing and other then that was silent.

Not only did Nixon do good, but so did Brad. The blessing given to Nixon was beautiful.

We had so many family members there who love Nixon. It certainly was a day we will always remember.

Why did the chicken cross the road?...

This years Halloween was the first Halloween since me and Brad have known each other that we haven't headed to Utah to play with friends. Since it was Nixon's first Halloween we thought it would be fun to go trick-or-treating to all the grandparents houses

Before we left we had our only trick-or-treaters stop by. Nixon just loves his Thomason cousins.

First we went to Frank and Nancy's to show off his sweet chicken costume.

Then we headed to grandma and grandpa Scotts house

Brad was a skeleton and I was a cupcake.

Next was grandma and grandpa greats house

and last but not least was a stop to grandma and grandpa Olsen's

Trick or treating wore Nixon out and he slept like an angel that night.
