Nixon's first Easter.

I love Easter! It has always been my favorite holiday. When I was little my family would make it so fun with crazy Easter egg hunts and awesome new spring school clothes and dresses.

Brad was a victim of my love of Easter while we were dating. I bought him our first pet. A Bunny named Bunny. I loved Bunny! Brad on the other hand..... Lets just say I have been told if I buy another bunny it will be killed...
I was so excited to have someone else to share my love of Easter with this year. I think it is safe to say that Nixon loves it just as much as me!

Nixon with all his loot. He was so excited for all his fun stuff.
Daddy got him bubbles, he doesn't quite know what to think of them. Whenever we blow them for him he just stares at them straight faced.

I made the boys matching Easter shirts.

The Olsen cousins getting geared up to hunt for eggs. Nixon was so excited.
He got 4 whole eggs


He even got one with a dollar bill stuffed in it! Score!
After the Easter egg hunt and a mean game of football between the dads we headed over the Grandma and Grandpa Scotts where we hunted for our Baskets that the Easter Bunny hid and Nixon was given the cutest pillow pet. He loves to snuggle it.

The only thing that is disappointing is that we are going to have to wait a year for Easter to come again.

Seven

I can't believe Nixon is already 7 months old!
He is just getting the funniest personality and is growing into such a big boy. He sat up by himself for the first time on March 11 and a few days later started pulling him self up onto everything. He now walks along things. He falls a lot but he always just cries a little and then gets right back up.

Something else fun is he has started dancing whenever he hears music. he sways back and forth, I love it.


He also likes to chew on all the furniture.


This is how I find him in the mornings and after all his naps, just standing there waiting for me.
We took him swimming a few weekends ago with some of our nieces and nephews. It took him a while to like the water, but he loved sitting on the steps with me and liked brad walking around bobbing him in and out of the water.

(excuse how bad the adults look in this picture)
Nixon went on his first 4-wheeler ride this month. It rained.

He also really loves playing xbox with his dad. He is obsessed with the cords.

Six

Nixon has been Six months old for two weeks now. So I will be writing this as though I wrote this two weeks ago

He has learned so pretty major things - Like crawling! He is constantly on the move. He isn't sitting up on his own yet, and has no desire to do so.

He still loves his baby food and has now tried Squash, Sweet potato's, carrots, peas, and got peaches for his 6th month birthday breakfast. He has liked everything but the peaches.

He loves to rock out to Selina Gomez and has a strange obsession with all rugs and shoes, if he sees either item he will find his way to them and put them straight in his mouth... quite gross.


Great Grandma and Grandpa Freeman got Nixon this awesome highchair. The first time he sat in it he had to mark his territory by licking it like he does everything else. He loves sitting in it.
He has been falling asleep in some strange positions....
We were able to go stay with Auntie Arin and Uncle Sean for a weekend and while we were there Nixon was able to meet Nicole
He also loved ikea because he got to sit in the cart like a big boy

loving being topless at Aunt Arins
He has also loved that the days have been warmer. we have taken walks around the neighborhood with the Thomason's and Nixon has loved riding in the double stroller with Archie. They are just the best of friends, and are going to miss them when they move.

He loved having hair
This is how he "Sits up". I call it his mermaid pose.

and last but not least, a video of him crawling, via youtube, because I can't figure out how to get it on here. ( Note: he is crawling like a millions times better now )
