Updates

Axel has been fitting a cold for about 2 weeks now. This week he finally better but is still fighting a cough. He was full of boogers and feeling pretty punky. He has 2 teeth now! Both are almost half way in-both on the bottom. He's little smiles are so cute now with little teeth poking through. I haven't been able to get a picture of his teeth yet-I'll keep trying. My camera is kinda crappy so close up pictures don't turn out that well.

Axel is going to start daycare. His first day will be October 6th. I think I'm more nervous than he will be, but it'll be good for all of us. Brian and I have been switching out schedules so far so one of us is home with him, but we don't get to see each other to often so now we'll have more time with the three of us at home together! I can't wait!! We had a tour of the daycare and met his teacher, Sherry, today. She seems really nice and we have a play date set for the week before he starts so he can met some of the kids and get to now his teachers. Axel has been very momma clingy lately so it'll be good to have him get to know other adults.

Axel has been crawling all over and is starting to make more and more sounds. I swear he said momma the other day but I couldn't get him to repeat it so I won't write it down in his book yet! I am also going to post a video showing how he can crawl. Like I said before my camera is kinda crappy so the video isn't the best but you'll get the idea!

Playing around!

Look what dad did!

Dad got a new tattoo!! Axel got to watch dad get inked. If you can't see it the best it reads AXEL on his forearm.

Mom also got a tattoo about a month after dad. She got an 'A' behind her ear. We don't have any pictures of that one yet. It's fun having a little new decoration. We'll make Axel wait at least until he's 12 to get his!! (unless he gets one that says I Love mom or some thing on that line!)

Camping and being social

We have been so busy lately. First we went to visit our friends Nick and Sarah Ridgeway and their new baby girl Vienna. Congrat's guys, she is so cute! I can't believe how little she is compared to Axel. It's crazy how fast they grow.

We went camping last weekend in Prior Lake and Cleary Park. First time in a tent for Axel! He did great. He slept well and loved being outside all day. We got rained on the first night but we stayed dry and the next day the weather was perfect. Axel got to meet a bunch of our friends and some of their kids. It's fun to have little ones around his age that he can hang with. Jada Lindell, Quintin and Olivia Morrisey , Henry Pagel and Eddie Heski were there. Jada and Quintin are 3 years old-I think, Eddie is 10 months Olivia is about 1 month younger than Axel and Henry is 2 months younger than Axel. It's going to be so much fun when Henry, Olivia and Axel are running around like Jada and Quintin. It was a blast seeing everyone!

I also want to send out a huge CONGRAT's to Jamie and Michele Lindell on the news of being pregnant!! Babies and more babies huh?!!!

Social Butterfly

Crawling!!

Axel can crawl!! He has just mastered it this week. Most of the time he still does an army crawl (you know what I mean-crawling on his belly by pulling with his arms), but he has been getting better at getting his knees under him. He trucks all around the house now. The dogs are so in for it! I guess I'm going to have to clean the floors more often, until I can teach Axel to clean the floors. I will post new pictures to show you what he's up to.

Oh...he also almost has a tooth!! I felt a little rough spot on his gums yesterday and when I looked in his mouth I saw one little edge of a tooth peaking through his gums. This explains why he chews/sucks on everything!! So I'm sure we'll have a few rough nights before the little bugger pops completely through, but luckly I'm a sucker for our late night cuddles. All for now.
