Dean and Santa

My little Poser!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Dean and his cousin QJ over Thanksgiving...how cute is this picture!

Dean met Santa Claus today! He did awesome. He looked at Santa, saw a camera and of course threw the Brent pose.

Hope everyone had a great holiday. Dean is doing great. He is getting so big- close to the 9 month mark and looks like a toddler! He is wearing 12-18 months and chatting up a storm. He is able to stand alone and looks confused when he is not holding onto anything. I predict that he will be walking before Christmas. Still no teeth, but the drool reminds me of Goliath! It is never ending. Happy Holidays to all...

Turkey's for Palin

I never caught on with the "Hockey Mom's" but those of you who did might find this video interesting! I generally eat poultry, but this video has turned me into a vegetarian! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-kjM1asH-8
Is she even aware of what is going on behind her??

The last month

I know it's been a while since the last post. Life happens! I have been so busy with work, school, and moving that I have not had a chance to even get pictures of the digital camera onto the computer! So, here are a few. Dean is doing great. He is getting so big. We all love our new place. The carpet is working out great for crawling and falling! Not so great for spitting up, but that doesn't happen so often anymore, we have moved onto throwing food! He is eating a ton. Sunday is my cooking day. I make all of his food for the week and hope that it lasts otherwise he gets mashed bananas and cereal! I am not sure how much he weighs but I think it's close to 22lbs. His hair is getting thick and is still a champagne color and is eyes are the prettiest blue. He has taken on Brent's personality (Lord help me!) he does not sleep (like Brent), is as hyper as ever (like Brent), and will laugh at just about anything (again like Brent!). Enjoy the pics. I will try and keep on top of this a little better.

Welcome Brayden Cash

Brayden Cash Winchester was born Monday September 29 at 5:59pm.

Dean (and his mommy) are awaiting playdates with you!

Had to post a pic of Mollie in the hospital with Dean since there is one with Brayden and I.

Our Puppy!

A few weeks ago I came home from work and heard Brent calling Dean "puppy". I looked over at them and this is what I saw! Dean has a fascination with the edges of his foam mat. He loves putting them in his mouth. It is the cutest thing to see him crawling around with them hanging out of his mouth. Now our little puppy has to get his hands on everything...there is a saying in our house "I'm going to grab it......and put it in my mouth"!

After only crawling for a week and a half, Dean pulled himself up! I was freaking out. Is this suppose to happen right after crawling? He gets into everything now. He has found the cord for the computer and will find his way to it. No matter how hard we try and block him...he manages to break the barrier!
He's on the move and never camera shy!
I love this picture and had to put it in because he is such a happy little guy! He is always smiling and has such an awesome laugh...I love when he sees me for the first time when I get home from work-the smile melts my heart.

Exciting times

Dean's first trip to the beach. He didn't really care too much for the sand..or water for that matter but I am sure that will change as he gets older. Living in Southern CA I sure hope it changes.

Look out..he's on the move! I need to start getting the house in order...specifically the stairs and maybe some knee pads.


It starts out pretty......and ends up fun! This would never happen on Brent's watch. I on the other hand feel that if there is water near by he can get a messy as he wants!

Banana's & Barack!

Warning.....This is not a post for Republicans!

Dean is an Obama supporter just like his mommy! We were watching the DNC and EVERYTIME there was a picture of Barack or his voice on television Dean would stop squirming and focus on the television. He watched the entire speech without fussing or squirming. It was great. Maybe we have a future politician and accomplished actor on our hands. Only time will tell.

Barack has our vote....all 3!

Dean was introduced to Banana's this past weekend...and he loved em! He couldn't get enough-even after I wrestled it out of his hand he wanted more. I have him some today-mashed with a spoon- and it wasn't the same for him.
