Such an innocent, precious face with those big, brown eyes.
And I usually don't see it, but I think he looks like Hudson in this picture.
Hudson has learned to position the bag of straws in the front of the locked drawer to have access to them at all times! So much for toddler proofing! He sneaks into the kitchen, opens the drawer as far as it will go, grabs a straw, sneaks back into the living room and places the straw into Mommy's or Daddy's pop and drinks it up! This is just the beginning of what we're in for with this one! 
We stayed in a hotel Saturday night and Hudson picked to sleep in Grandma's bed! Lucky Grandma! Paxton slept in the pack n' play. We have been blessed with great sleepers! Paxton sleeps through the night, usually wakes up around 7am to have breakfast, but then sleeps again until 9 or 10am. And Hudson will sleep until 10am or later, or we have to wake him up to begin the day! 
........big brother Hudson DID NOT want his picture taken, especially next to Baby Brother. And to make matters worse, Baby Brother had the guts to just TOUCH Hudson and all went down hill from there! Poor Paxton has yet to get on Hudson's good side. So please just picture 2 boys, cute as can be, in their matching shirts. Maybe I'll try again another day.....MAYBE!! 
Just getting warmed up; Hudson, Daddy, Sheri, Sidney, Hunter, and Ryan.
Ready or not, here Hudsy comes!!!
WEEEEE!!!!!!
Relaxing on the floatie.
And Paxton got worn out just watching all the fun and snoozed on Uncle Arnie's lap.
I think Paxton's face in this picture says, "Don't look now Mommy but I'm about to blow this pop stand and get out of my chair!" It also might be the cutest face I've ever seen!
Mommy gave Paxton a ride in the laundry basket and he laughed the whole time! Then Hudson showed his love and tried to dump him while saying, "Fall out Baby Brother, fall out!" I hope one day he'll love his little brother!
Paxton had his 6 month doctor appointment today. He did a great job and was a very brave boy! Takes after his big brother! Our doctor said the 2 Johnson boys are her best patients! Instead of fear and cries, they give her smiles and laughs! Paxton weighed 16 lbs, which is the 18th percentile, and is 27 1/4 inches long, in the 73rd percentile. 73rd!!!!!!! That's the highest percentile for length I have ever heard at the doctor!!! Looks like Paxton might be our tall and thin boy! But even better news, Paxton's tear duct has opened and his eye is finally clear of all ooze and goo!!! I couldn't be happier! Look at those beautiful eyes now! 
Paxton taking a lesson from his big brother and just holding his "da-do"!
The 2 birthday boys, Declyn and Hudson.
Opening presents with Kendra and Bryce's help. They gave him a Toy Story scooter!
Aunt Lori had this cake made with their pictures. It says "#1 Hunter". That's for Declyn because my boys won't hunt.....right!?!?!?
Meredith brought Brody and Brenley over to celebrate Hudson's birthday. It took us awhile with all the coughs, ear infections, and fevers in this house, but finally we're back to normal (knock on wood!) and we can go back to playing again! Paxton and Brenley relaxed outside and watched their brothers cause trouble! Brody loved driving Hudson's truck all around the yard, and they both took joy in throwing rocks in the pool (which unfortunately already has holes in it). Thanks Nordby's, for Hudson's gifts and the playdate!
Or this tongue???
We've been tolerating Hudson's "smile" for months now, never getting a nice picture of him, and now it seems we'll have to tolerate Paxton's tongue as it is ALWAYS hanging out! And when I say always, I mean constantly! Unless he is crying or laughing hysterically, that cute little pointy tongue is peeking out of his mouth. Sibling pictures will be quite a sight to see! 
We got out Hudson's walk-around toy today and Paxton enjoyed snooping around each and every new toy. Although he had to be pushed because he can't quite figure out how to walk yet, still thinks its a jumpie and tried to hop his way around.
After the boys took their long overdue 4 hour naps, we headed out to Uncle Lon and Vicky's for games, grilling and fireworks. Hudson was kidnapped by Maddi and Logan, along with my camera. They tempted him into the cornfield and woods! Paxton enjoyed his first 4th of July with his tongue hanging out and sunggling with cousin Tammy. This was Hudson's 2nd night of fireworks and although he likes them, making lots of sighing noises, and saying "Cool!" and "Big one!" he is easily distracted by everything else around him. I'm just thankful my boys are finally feeling better and could enjoy the holiday with family. 
Hudson made his own little zoo by growing animals in a cup! He thought it was so fun dropping the tablet in the water and seeing what it was going to be. Thanks for the fun Maddi, he even remembered you got them for him!
Hudson went to his 2nd gymnastics class on Thursday and did much better, participated in every event at least a little bit. His least favorite was the balance beam. Daddy says its because he knows what could happen if he fell! His most favorite still the trampoline as he laughs the entire way down. He did a somersault down the mat to everyone's applause, and swung on the bars like a monkey. I think he was showing off for his audience, Logie came to watch! 
This sweet little face has loooked a little sadder than this the past couple days. He hasn't been feeling well and has needed his Mommy to comfort him. We're tired..........but I wouldn't have it any other way.
