No Excuses

I have no excuses...it has been awhile since I last posted pictures of Dean....sorry to all of you :)He is doing wonderful, except when he wakes up at 1am and doesn't fall back asleep until 3ish! I had some wise advice that I have tried for the last 2 nights that seems to work-although I fell a little guilty doing it but from the mouth of Wicked "Shut his door and let him cry!". I have also shut my door so now I can't really hear him at all. I feel sorry for our neighbors, but hey their kid screams like an animal trapped in a barbwire fence so who really cares right!

Dean is in a new daycare. It is more of a school setting that he can stay in until he is ready for kindergarten or we can afford to put him in a private PreK. At his 18 month checkup he was 33 inches and 27lbs. He is starting to talk much more and even trying to put sentences together. The other night he brought a toy to me and said "I want, Yes"..it was so cute-until I didn't open it then he went nuts. He is an active little monster who NEVER stops. I have to get out of the house on the weekends and only come home for naps...so anyone close who wants to play on Sat or Sun let us know. We are out usually around 8:30am. Enjoy the pics and I will try and keep more on top of the blog!

"huh"

Anytime he sees a camera it's "Cheese"




Just cute!

Fun Pics

Some fun pics. Hard to believe that Dean is going to be 16 months in a few days. He is getting so big and learning to imitate. His favorite to imitate is sneezing! He is talking a lot. Along with the adorable personality comes the terrible toddler stage. He has learned how to have a tantrum and it is driving me crazy. He sat down in the parking structure the other day and cried for 5 minutes because I took him out of the car. He will also have a meltdown if I turn on the shower and don't let him in with me. He loves the water. We are teaching him to swim and he is doing wonderful...we have a water baby! He can kick his feet and move his arms together...he can almost make it back to the step! I will post more pics of July 4th soon..for now enjoy these moments of Deans 15th month!

The Hair

We couldn't resist these photos! He is too funny with his hair...it is totally making his "Hippie" personality.

Video of Dean

Brent made a video of all the footage we have of Dean....hope you enjoy!

Good God...it's 5:30 in the morning

He's even all smiles @ this hour...who's DNA is this?

No fun title...just pics!

The camera went missing for a while...so a few pics from the last month. I love the ones of Dean and Brent....two peas in a pod you could say. Dean has 4 teeth now. I am assuming that since it has taken 14 months for these 4 special teeth to arrive, all the others will pop out at the same time! We keep him medicated with what we like to call in our house "Baby Crack"! When we pull out the teething tablets Dean does a little dance and starts chatting away..he can hardly contain himself when he sees them. I will take a video of it soon and post it so you can see just how excited he gets.

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! :)
