Some Fun Pics

I thought I would add some recent pics! Dean is getting so big and walking around so much. His appetite is great and cooking all of his food has become a challenge. It seems like all I do is cook and wash his laundry!
Enjoy..can't wait to see a lot of you at his FIRST Birthday! For those who are not able to make it...I will post tons of pics

Dean is now 11 months old!

Where has the time gone? Dean will be 1 in a few weeks and he is all over the place. No longer walking...he is almost running everywhere. He finally has 2 teeth! He is 25 lbs and looks like a 2yr old. He is in daycare 3 days a week now and it is great for him. He is learning so much from his friends there and imitating them like crazy. He likes to play "monster" and growl at me all the time..it is the cutest thing.

These pics are so funny! He found the laundry basket the other day and was taking out his clothes and putting them back in. He was rocking it back and forth trying to move it and fell over a few times, but was a trooper and got right back in it!

Enjoy the pics...

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...
