Cheez Ball!

I had to share this picture with you all because Dean is becoming somewhat vain! If he sees someone with camera-fake, cell phone, digital, video...what ever, he will stop and pose for it! This was from Wed night about 30 min before he went to bed! He is such a happy little MONSTER! I am truly lucky to be his mommy! :)

Dean's 13 Months old...WOW

Ok, so I know it's been while! We have been super busy on this end-Brent is working a ton and I have been crazy trying to finish reports and working, and I am not sure what I was thinking but I signed on to do a 90 day boot camp and am dying over here! I have yet to lose a pound...but sleep like a rock!

Dean is doing wonderful. He had a pretty bad rash that lasted a couple of weeks. His top right tooth busted through today and the left one is going to come in any day. He is talking up a storm and loves to scold us when he doesn't get his way. He will wave his finger and tell us what is on his mind..it's the cutest thing! His favorite game right now is chase. He will drop to the floor and crawl away, squealing for you to follow him. When you don't he will come looking and start all over. He is waving bye bye and giving high fives. I am teaching him to blow kisses to me now when I leave for work. I attached a few new photos of him from his latest photo shoot...Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Dean

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY DEAN!

Wow, where has the year gone? You are such an amazing little boy and you bring light and laughter into our lives every moment! My favorite part of the day is coming home and seeing you peek around the corner and smile when you see me..it melts my heart.

Thank you friends and family in Bakersfield and Lake Isabella who made Dean's party a success. Without you we would have had no fun! Next year his party will be in his home town so all of our friends down here can have fun with us! Enjoy the photos and see you next year.

Dean's favorite part of My Gym! We need to invest in a ball pit..

The handsome little man...

Spilling his muffin on Daddy! It was great.

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

Yummy Yummy Salmon Cakes

Delicious Bananas
Rice Cake, Banana and Kiwi

Mmmm...Blueberries and Applies

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!
