Survivorman {Daxton}

It's easy to lose perspective this time of year, easily forgetting what the holidays are about, losing track of what truly matters. Busy running around getting ready for Christmas, overspending on gifts, overindulging on food and drinks.

Funny how it only takes a lil guy like Daxton to remind us of what really matters, something we all take for granted... life.

A little over 3 months ago Daxton Oliver McKenzie came into this world, first baby born to proud parents Jessica and Clint McKenzie.

Daxton appeared to be the picture of health until a nurse noticed his coloring was off. They discovered Daxton was born with a heart defect called transposition of the greater arteries (when the aorta is where the pulmonary artery is and vise versa).

He was quickly airlifted to Sick Kids Hospital where he underwent heart surgery a few days later. Thanks to the very capable surgeons at Sick Kids Daxton survived. After the intense stress and worry the family endured they were ecstatic and relieved to find out that Daxton is now healthy and strong. Daxton and his family were given the best gift a family could ask for... life.

Survivorman... this is what they call him.

He was so content in this bucket... i almost think he enjoyed being in there.

Precious feet.

Hamming it up for the camera...

Nothing better than baby giggles...

Daxton in the Christmas spirit.

Such a happy baby boy.
