Daddy

Before we knew we were having a little boy, anytime I would ask Jordan what he wanted it to be he would say a girl. I thought maybe he was just saying that because he knew that I wanted a little girl, but when I asked him he said he wanted to have a "Daddy's little girl". After we realized Nixon was a boy, I started to get really excited about having a "Mama's boy". 
Now, I know that Nixon loves me, but some of that I contribute to being his main food source. :) But, there is no denying that Mr. Nixon is absolutely head-over-heals in love with his Daddy. His little face lights up and he giggles whenever Jordan walks into the room. They play and giggle together from the second Jordan gets home and it just about melts my heart. I don't think Jordan has anything to worry about.

 We're happy and having fun, and then two seconds later...........




We're ticked. 



At least we got one good one!

Easter 2014

Mr. Nixon

Nixon is growing like a weed and while I am loving all these new things he is able to do, I start to miss my little cuddle bug who slept all day and partied all night! 
Nixon is almost 6 months old and he is such a fun and happy little squirt. These past couple months have been really busy with all sorts of new and exciting things. We went on our first road trip down to Grandma and Papa Sheets house. Brittany, Teagan and Cooper came with us and despite being outnumbered by little people, both trips were great! There was, of course, some screaming from the littlest ones, but all-in-all it was a success. I wouldn't have made it without Brittany there, and I also have a new respect for anyone who has twins! I wish we would have gotten a picture of our car loaded down with car seats and diaper bags, but we forgot to take one! 
We also just moved to a new townhouse this past month, and it was terrible. I have blogged about my absolute hatred for moving before and let me tell you, moving with a baby is even worse! Why we have so much stuff, I'll never know. I was committed to never buy another thing ever again, but that only lasted about 2 hours and I was off buying new decorations for our new space. Apparently I'll never learn. Nixon loves the new house. We like it a lot too and are happier to be in a nicer space with a lot more room! 
Life these days pretty much couldn't be better. Nixon is growing like a weed and sitting up all on his own like the King of the Castle. He's also growing teeth which has quickly become one of my new "least favorite milestones". Seriously, teething is lame. They should just get them all in at once and get it over with! Even with all the fuss they cause, I have to say his one little scraggle tooth is pretty adorable!

I'm in trouble.......

One day he's going to realize he can get anything from mom by using this face. Who could say no to that!?! (Also, he holds his hands like this 99% of the time. It's adorable.)

3 Months Old

Nixon turned 3 months old on February 10th. It's crazy to think he's been here that long. Seems like yesterday we brought him home from the hospital and I was freaking out because I had no idea how we were supposed to keep him alive. I'm happy to say we've been successful so far. :)

Nixon is such a happy little guy. His grin takes up his whole darn face and I have to keep myself from kissing him to death when he smiles at me. He's become quite the little chatter box and is constantly letting us know where he is and what he's thinking. He likes to sleep and Mom likes to too, so we make a pretty good team. He's awesome and we think we're going to keep him.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde......

"well hello there....."

This crooked little grin melts my heart!
No matter how great the swaddle, his little hands always seem to make it up to his mouth....

Nixon's Blessing

We blessed Nixon on January 26th, 2014. It was a special day and Jordan did a great job. We had lots of family come and were so happy to have the company. Nixon is definitely one loved little boy!
