Update!!

So here is an update since the last post!! Daxton is growing big. He is now 9 lbs 15 oz. He is growing into a little man. He is starting to smile lots and wanting to play. His daddy can't get enough of him. He had is first illness, the FLU. It was not fun at all. He already cries a lot, but those couple of days he cried tons. Our life revolves around him. We recently went on his first long distance trip. We went to visit my sister and her family in Wyoming. We were able to see my neices ride in a rodeo. Dax wasn't quite sure he liked the windy rodeo. We had a lot of fun with them. We have went to the cabin in Alton now 2 times. The first time was hard for Dax, but the last time he did really well. He is finally only waking up once a night. It is nice to get some sleep. Dax was blessed on June 6th in Beaver by his Papa Hanley. It was fun to have all the family together.

Dr. Apptointment today

So Daxton is now 6 weeks old. We take him to the pediatrician every friday to check his weight. He now weighs 8 lbs even. He is supposed to be gaining an ounce a day and this week he only gained 2 oz. We are going to be giving even more calories then we were before. And of course I end up with the stomach flu. I don't remember the last time I had a flu. Since Dax's immune system is not that great, Grandma gets to watch him today. It has been really weird not having him around.

Daxton at Home!!

Pictures!!

Here are pictures that I finally downloaded.

WERE HOME!!!!

Sorry I haven't kept up on the blog, but we are home. We have been home for a week and a half. I am so excited to finally be home. We came home with a feeding tube but he doesn't have to have it anymore. He is still eating good. He has his good days and bad days which I am sure every baby has. Today he found his hair and he couldn't figure out how to let go of it or why he was hurting. I had to help him let go. It was so funny. He has grown 1 1/4" inches since birth and 1 lb 1 oz. He is now up to
7 lbs 14 oz. He has his days and nights kinda mixed up, but is getting better. We love him and glad he is home.

It has been a GREAT DAY!!

So as long as Daxton keeps up the good work we will be on our way home tomorrow morning!!:) They have moved us out of the ICU and into a regular room It has been so much better. We are so excited!!

Not so great of a day!

So today hasn't been a very good day. Daxton is not eating much at all. He is mostly getting fed by tube. It has been a very frustrating day for both Daniel and I.We have no idea how to make things go smoother for him. He gets so angry and then tired. We am hoping things get better soon.
