Look Who's Walking!

Dean is all smiles! He took his first steps between his Auntie Linz and I on Thurs evening and has never looked back...he is a little tyke on a mission with thousands of places to go! He still crawls if he needs to get some where in a hurry, but he is getting to be pretty impressive with his new fancy foot work!

The little man!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dean's First Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Dean had a great day...Christmas Eve was spent with his cousin's Jordan and Tyler-he did pretty good. Although he decided to forgo the nap, he made it through the day and finally fell asleep around 5 for a few hours, then of course he was up until 11:30pm. Christmas day he was Dedicated to the Lord by his Top Pop and then made his way back over the Grapevine home. Luckily there was no snow on our way. The three of us had a relaxing Christmas night at home.

Thank you for all of the amazing clothes and presents! We love them. Dean had the best time with the tissue paper. He could really care less about what was inside the box, as long as there was tissue paper he was happy.

He had his 9month (can you believe it) check up a last week and was 21lbs and 30inches. He is getting so big. Dr. said he is in great health and not to worry about a thing! He is on track with his milestones-even ahead on some. He is almost ready to walk, standing on his own and taking one step then falling. It is too funny. He gets so excited when he stands. Still not teeth, but the process is horrible. Teething tablets work wonders-he gets 5-6 at night to help him (and us) sleep. We are still co-sleeping which is good and bad. Great when it is time to nurse him, horrible when he decides he wants to turn around and kicks the heck out of you!

We wish you a Happy and Safe New Year and hope that everyone's Dam Corner comes in soon!

Our Furture Hef!

Hate the game, not the player!

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.
