I love this place. I use to go there when I was just a little bit older than Paxton. The year we moved to Anchorage they remodled it and moved it over to the Museum. It is just the coolest hands on science center I have ever been too. The best part, is halfway through there is a tot space with all sorts of neat toys and learning activites. We have been more times than I can count. Paxton still likes to check out the bubbles, lava and all the other stuff, but the tot space is where we spend most of our time. The Fred Meyer Foundation has a grant in place where the whole museum is free after three on Thursdays until April when all of the tourists return. We have been taking full advantage of it, and will continue to until this snow melts away. Here is a few pictures from the last few times we have been to the Imaginarium.
I have always heard about how you can get your kids to eat their food if you make it look really neat. I have never really done that because Paxton has always been such a good eater. So just for the heck of it the other day I made him is very own special robot sandwich. Lets just say it was a hit, over and over again. It is probably the most asked for item on the lunch menu
Notice Paxton's "Make-up" here. Sometimes I worry that he spends too much time around his Mommy. . Yesterday Tylor and I went snowboarding for the day and Paxton and Kian stayed home to play with Nana. I got this picture sent to me while we were gone. Paxton worked hard and made his own robot sandwich since Mommy was gone. He is so creative! Love that boy!
Seeing as I am a little behind:) Kian Ray turned 7 months on January 15th. This seventh month of his little life has been a big learning and growing time for him. He weighs around 20 lbs and has 5 little teeth. For the longest time he only had the top side teeth (I think they are called the eye teeth) and he looked a little like a vampire. His front two teeh actually just broke through yesterday! So in this last month he has learned how to crawl with his belly off the floor, no more army crawl ;( He is sitting up and goes from crawling to sitting all the time. He has also learned how to pull himself up and is cruising around the coffee table and the couch. He is eating everything you put in front of him and really likes to feed himself . He loves the gerber puffs. A lady once called them baby cocaine. I understand where she is coming from now. He gets unusually excited when you put them in front of him, and he really cannot stuff his face fast enough. Kian has also learned how to climb up and down the stairs. Still makes Momma nervous though. He loves to play with all of Paxton's toys, eat Paxton's crayons and his drawings. Kian has the funniest little laugh too. Kinda sounds like some sort of bird. I have a video of it that someday soon I will post. He is a joy to our family. Even Paxton loves him to death. And in one short week he will be 8 months old!!
After a fabulous time in Nebraska, we returned home and had the opportunity to have Christmas with Nana. I know that Paxton is pretty convinced that Christmas is really a month long affair. Hopefully he isn't to disappointed in the future when it's condensed down to one day. Our boys (and us) were super spoiled this year with love from our family. We feel very blessed with all that we have been given and loved remembering Christ and the sacrafice he made for us.
