Sam, Kristol, Daxton, and Danaka

Dax is usually on top of Danaka giving her 'loves' Danaka and Grandma Ogden Daxton love cars and tractors. Often I catch him where he has organized them very specifically like he has here.

Danaka 2 Days Old

Danaka Kenzie Ogden born August 2 at 9:47 AM. 7 lbs, 1 oz. 20.5 inches long. The Story (you can skip this if you'd like ;) I was feeling like I might go when I got off work at 12:30AM. So I came home from work, showered, and got ready. Then I went to bed by 2:30AM. At 4:30 I woke up knowing it was going to be today. I laid in bed waiting for them to get worse to wake everyone up. Finally at 6AM I woke Sam up and told him. Then I called my mom and told her I was going to the hospital. We got ready, got Dax up. Sam decided he needed to run to work for 45 minutes. He got home at 7:15, and we left at 7:30. We checked in at about 8:15, and they hooked me up to monitors. My contraction were coming pretty strong, but not totally ready. So Sam went to meet my parents down at the cafeteria and take Dax to them. Finally at 9:15 they came check me. By then I was having contraction pretty bad. She checked me and I was at a 6+, or 7. The nurse left me to get dressed, and find anesthesia to give...

Daxton 2 year stats. Daxton is now 26 lbs (22nd percentile) He is 36 inches (3ft) tall (83rd percentile) We made our last trip out of town to my parents before baby sister comes. Sam was installing some cabinets, so we hung out with Grandparents and cousins. Dax loves the farm!! I think he was only inside to eat and sleep that day. Dax and Austin playing in the water. Riding the tractor with Grandpa Petting the calves Riding the 'cycle' with uncle Jason Watching the cows be milked.

A wave hello! Dax's bed and crib side by side. Hope this arrangement works out. We still need a few girly touches on her wall.

Just a catch-up on Dax. He loves being outside, 4-wheeling, camping, fishing, climbing, popsicles, watermelon, popcorn, riding his bike, swimming, animals of all kinds, dressing himself, helping...with everything, and imitating Sam in every way. He talks...a lot. 4-5 word sentances. Got rid of the binky at 22 months. Climbed in and out of his crib at 21 months. Finally at 23 months, we put him in a twin bed. Just a few fun pics Just like his mom! (I have a picture just like this when I was his age.) But really he copies everything Sam does. Here he is working on his fishing pole, just like dad. Helping dad Loves Popcorn Dressed himself, and proud of it:) Loves riding in wagons His new bed!
