Houston Visit

I am getting far behind - and I was so proud of myself for almost catching up! We've been a little jet lagged in the Paxton home, though, lately, and the blog simply hasn't made the top of the list. So short and sweet will have to do. :) I think Oliver thoroughly enjoyed our recent trip to the US. How could he not?

I still can't get over how much older he seemed this trip:

He loved simply sitting around observing the people, the dogs, and the chaos:

He spent plenty of time with the ladies...

Oli and Gabby:

Oli and Megan and Gabby:

Oli and Lindsey:

Oli and Nana:

Oli and Casey (and, yes, Scrabble... we're starting him early):

He loved listening to Nana play the guitar:

And he even tolerated interruptions from the puppies:

We were especially glad that Uncle Ben and Aunt Laney were able to come down from Austin to visit:

And, of course, that they brought their baby, Shelby, to visit, too!

Despite all the new people and things, Oliver's favorite pastime seems to have remained the same: baths. He had a blast taking baths and Nana and Grandpa's house:

It's weird to think that my brothers and I all took baths in that kitchen when we were babies... And my parents are probably going to tear down the house and rebuild soon... Glad Oli got to take a few there, too:

I especially love this picture where it looks like he's crying (he's not, I assure you; he just splashed himself):

Can you tell he is way too fun to photograph?

All in all, an EXCELLENT visit... more pictures to come soon.
