Daddy's Boy

As with all babies, Dixon's attention span is short. One day he will love a toy and drag it around everywhere with him. The next day it will be old news. This is true with everything from food choices to games he wants to play. There is, however, one constant obsession: his daddy. When Scott gets home from work, Dixon literally shakes and screams with excitement. Scott can't leave the room without a heartbreaking meltdown. And, much to my constant jealousy, Scott is the only one Dixon will let hold him for more than 30 seconds. He will sit and relax on Scott's lap for ages. The other day Scott was trying to fix something on his fish tank when Dixon crawled up and took him by surprise. Dixon insisted on sitting with Scott throughout the entire project. He was fascinated with the drill but made sure to keep one hand on Scott the entire time, lest Mommy should try to take him away.

Dixon Has Something To Say

Potty Humor

A few weeks ago I was putting away laundry and felt my parental "spidey sense" tingle. Sure enough, Dixon had gone silent. This is never a good sign. When I had left him to put the clothes away, Dixon was busily working at moving every toy he owns from his toy box to the bathtub. As any seasoned parent would guess, I found he had abandoned the task to splash away happily in the toilet. Much to Dixon's chagrin, Scott and I have since been very diligent in keeping the toilet lids down. However, as with all criminals and young children, Dixon returned to the scene of the crime to relive his glory. That's when he discovered a new brand of mischief. I think Tickles has taught him some tricks...

Dixon "going to sleep"

Well, I finally kept my promise to Tiffany and started a blog. So hello to all. I really have no idea what I'm doing or how this is supposed to work. But with Dixon growing and changing so fast, I hope this will be a fun way to share our experiences with everyone.
