Events in the past month:
Great grandmas 90th birthday. Took the ferry over for the day and got to see all of moms family. It was fun and Dax was soo good! Yay!
Met his future wife Quinn (she is too cute) and planning our trip to Maui in the spring.
Had a thanksgiving photoshoot! It went really well despite a major blowout and spit up situation. We also went to the pumpkin patch that day which was fun as well :)
We had a great thanksgiving with both families. Dax had a great time visiting! And eating sweet potatoe! I think he eats more when we eat with him.
Swimming is still going really well. He is getting more and more comfortable in the water. We also started mother goose which is a cute singing and playing class.
The weather has been so nice so we have been going out whenever possible. We are now using stroller without car seat. Dax likes to look around :)
We had such a fun Halloween! The day before we had a few of his little friends over so they could play and take cute pics in costumes. Then Halloween we carved pumpkins (and put him in one lol) and went trick or treating at the mall. It was fun since Neil and I dressed up too and got to see my coworkers. Neil says he gets to pick our costume theme next year ;)
Looking forward to: Christmas!!! I am already going overboard buying tons of Christmas outfits. I will decorate early this year too :)
