A new kind of excitement

NEVER in my life did I think that I would be SO excited about a dirty diaper! But, little Dixon has had a little trouble going to the bathroom...so when a poppy diaper comes up...I am filled with joy! Who would have thought?!?

Perfection.

Right now as I type Dixon is sleeping in my arms. I have never seen a baby so prefect. He has beautiful strawberry blond hair, BIG blue eyes, a birth mark on his left elbow and one on his right side, long fingers and toes, an adorable button nose, the cutest baby legs, an adorable gummy grin, and a turned up chin. I could go on forever...I think this is true love. 

A day in the life of Dixon...

Dixon has just turned 6 weeks old...Here is what a typical day in his world entails...

2:30 am- I Wake up STARVING for a bottle....eat quickly and go back to sleep.

6:30 am-  I wake up for another bottle...eat a little slower and usually take a nap. 

8:30 am- Mommy gets me dressed for the day...then I get to be held by mommy or play on my activity mat with Lady.

10:30 am- I have another bottle...this time I eat SLOWLY! 

11:30 am-  Then sit in my swing or my chair. 

1:00ish pm- go for a walk with lady and mom. 

2:30 pm- feeding time...then usually a nap. 

3:45 pm Daddy gets home from work an wakes me up to play. Mommy and Daddy usually hold me and play with me until my next bottle...but I am trying to sleep. :)

7:00 pm - night time bottle...this I eat very slowly then mom puts me in my crib and prays that I sleep all night....

2:30 am WAKE UP!!! 

In between all this my mom is trying to shower, eat, clean, do laundry, sleep, plus take care of me and Lady! 

My days usually have many visitors and or trips to my wonderful grandparents...I love when I have visitors and when I can get out of the house! 

Some of my favorite things other than eating and sleeping are...my soothie, my rainforest crib toy, and my swing.

At 6 weeks life is good...

Photo shoot with Dixon...

I have had many photo sessions in my life...engagement...wedding...graduations...ect...

But I have never had one as high of stress as baby Dixon's first photo shoot.

Leann Tucker came over to take the pictures...she is the best!! I tried to time everything perfectly...when he was bathed, when he last ate (to not be too hungary and grumpy or not too full and sleepy), when he was dressed, when the outfit changes would occur. I am quickly learning that with a baby....planning often goes out the window. 

Leann was wonderful and paitent, with a fussy baby, a sweating mommy, a on overprotective puppy, and a sarcastic daddy!

 All considering...the pictures turned out adorable! We are already planning our next session...;)

Dixon

Today Dixon had a good day! Every day for Dixon is a good day. Dixon likes to eat and most of all he likes to sleep. I wish I could sleep as much as Dixon does. Life as a baby is the good life.
