Dax Crawls

My sweet baby Dax crawled today for the first time. He has been army crawling for a while now, but today he actually crawled on his hands and knees. It was so cute. We were at our neighbors house and he was rocking back and forth on his knees (he was very mad) and then he took a couple crawl steps. I'm so glad I had my camera on hand like I always do! I was just wishing I had my video camera.

I put him in the little kiddie pool and he cried at first. But he got used to it and he loved it. He was splashing and playing with toys and crawled in there a little too. He is so dang cute. I love this little boy so much. It's funny how each new phase is just as exciting with the third baby as it is with the first.


This is right after he had crawled. See how happy he is?

Even though each kid is so unique, it's hard not to compare them. Ryker and Reese are very different.

Reese is really mellow and is usually in her own world. She's completely content to hang out by herself. She's definitely a free spirit. She is also my little helper, especially with Dax. She's a little mama in the making.

Ryker is so so creative. There's not another person I know that has as big of an imagination as he does. He's also a perfectionist. If he has his mind set on something, it's going to happen, no matter what. He doesn't think twice about standing up for himself (I really like that about him). And if you make him mad, watch out.

Let me give an example on how they're different. When Reese colors, she uses one color (usually pink) and scribbles all over the page. When Ryker colors he uses the appropriate color for what he's coloring and stays in the lines. Then he gets mad at Reese for not staying in the lines. It drives him crazy.

Dax is a monster. And he is so sweet at the same time. I love this stage. He's so happy all the time, especially when I'm holding him. When I get him in the mornings he is so excited that he kicks his legs and squeals and then smacks his lips together because it's time to eat. I love it.

He is noticebly different from Ryker already. For example, when Ryker was a baby he was afraid of the vacuum. I can't really blame him because it was kind of broken and really loud. Dax on the other hand chases the vacuum. He hears it running and he is on a mission. He gets his eye on the vacuum and he's after it.

This one is going to be a handful. But I'm up to the challenge. He sure is cute.

I was not planning on this post to be this long. Sorry! These kind of posts are usually for my own enjoyment anyway.
