Front Facing & Football

Dayton has been holding his head up really well. We have about a 10% bob rate currently which is down from a 100% bob rate three weeks ago. To celebrate this moment, we put Dayton in the baby bjorn carrier facing forward for the first time the other night. He loved it! It was so cute to have him looking every direction in front of him, to the sides as well as up at the sky. The picture you see here was taken after a 30 minute walk and one-minute to meal-time. He lost it! But we love the photo.

Dayton also played with a mini-football this weekend. He is starting to put his hands together and was able to hold onto the football for quite some time...and look at that smile! Maybe there will be another Dix quarterback in the family. Edith and Jim, we greatly apologize that the Jaguars football was not available for the photo op! Blame Mike - - - he brought this Corona football home with him from a bar on Friday night and it was in closer proximity then the Jaguars football you so graciously sent us.

Finally, a complaint. I carried Dayton William Dix in my tummy for 9 months yet he is the spitting image of Mike. I hear it all the time from everyone...."he looks just like Mike"! Yes, I agree. I'm sure you can see the similarity from the photo with Dayton on Mike's lap. Eh....I'll take him anyways. Proudly.
