Month three

The past month with Nixon has been so fun. He has started to laugh and talk a lot and even slept all the way through the night 4 times one week ( it was a tease, he is now waking up more then he did before ). He has become really droolie and grouchy do to some teeth that keep bugging him, but he is still the sweetest baby ever.

Nixon rolled over once too, which i think was an accident. I put him on the couch and ran to go grab a burp cloth and came back to find him laying on his face .... oops

This month he has started to love:

-His stuffed elephant - he loves when it sings to him and loves to chew on it

- Anything that sings, he becomes so happy.

- Blankets on his face, its really weird, but he loves it.

So excited to be wearing his namesake shirt from Aunt Kari.

He loved Thanksgiving at Aunt Camille's house so much he pooped up his back.

proof of how much he loves to eat his elephant

He is getting to be such a big boy. I put him on a scale with me and I think he is around 13 lbs now... HUGE!

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.
