Six Months of Pure Pax Pleasure!

 how delicious is this kid!!

i mean seriously. i can NOT get enough of him.

he is the happiest baby to ever luge down to planet earth and if i'm being quiet honest i think he might be the cutest!! 

 this kid is proof that God will not give you more then you can handle.

he is a breath of fresh air. 

i imagine having him as a baby is what it would be like to have a girl. 

(put down the weapons, i realize some of you may have a little girl that is extra challenging, but from my observations, most baby girls are pretty chill at least 50% of the time)

see with my first 2 i still haven't experienced "chill" any percentage of time.

i love them madly, but chill, they are not!

then this kid comes along...

and i understand what it means to sit through a church meeting with a baby on your lap that holds still and its not because they are sleeping. 

i understand what a peaceful car ride is,

(when its just me and him)

 or how some parents take their baby to the movies or out to dinner with them

and they just sit there in their car seat with their slobbery toy as happy as can be. 

  i never understood those things before.

i just thought all people with babies or toddlers lived a crazy, loud, chaotic, non-stop, energizer bunny kind-a life. 

and if they had their little ones in tow and they were quiet and happy 

they must have been heavily medicating them,

because there was just no other way they could be acting so, i don't know, lovely?

but it turns out,

some kids have a "low" switch

because this kid is mellow jello and totally awesome.

I'm thinking people who have a whole gaggle of kids must have babies just like this one 

because if i was guaranteed to have more little pax men, well, i would go get myself knocked up right now. 

just sayin...

his smile, cheeks, lashes, belly laugh, green eyes, dark hair, and squishableness are all just a big bonus. 

 we love you little Paxy Poo i think we'll keep ya around!

Mac - a - doo

this little lover is about the smiliest little nugget you'll ever find, but oh how he can turn on you in an instant. so beware. and by turn on you i mean start with the waterworks and the drama that is gas pain and stick with it for hours. 

figuring out what makes this kid tick has taken 6 months

and i'm sure our game plan is gonna need to change in about a minute and a half

but for now at least we've got a strategy

 Mr. Mac does not like eating baby food, he looks at me with his baby blues and i can see the question "mom, why are you torturing me?! dad doesn't eat his vegetables, why should I"

 he's a professional rolly-polly-olly and trying to break into the sitting game. 

 he's a little heartbreaker with a smile that draws the attention of every little old lady at the grocery store and just about everyone else. 

mom and dad cant get enough of him

 and to say big bro is his biggest fan is an understatement. 

yep Mac is one awesome little dude.

 we love U mac-a-doo!
