MY Bubbles!

Dainen had his first bubble bath and he LOVED it! He kept splashing the water and trying to grab the bubbles. What a cutie!

Halloween

Yeah! I'm finally getting Halloween pictures up. Thursday night before Halloween, we went to a party at Chris and Alisha's house. They have a son, Heber, who is only a month older than Dainen. They had fun playing together. Lesley and Neal, my best friend from high school and her husband, came with us with their two kids, Braeden and Chloe. It was a lot of fun. Dainen was a lion. I was a tree. (Laugh all you want but I won the costume contest!) Chloe was a fairy, Braeden was a cowboy, and Heber was a pirate.


Heber Kept trying to lay on Dainen. He would pin him down and lay his head on Dainen's back. He really liked Dainen's soft costume. So Dainen tackled Heber when Heber was drinking a bottle. It was so fun to watch them. We just kept laughing. They had a lot of fun together. :)

Lemons Lemons Lemons!

So Mike and his friend Brian came to visit us awhile back and we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. Dainen tried a lemon for the first time and, after the initial shock, loved it and wanted more. This video is kind of dark, but it's all we had. His face is hilarious! Enjoy!

Big Boy!

Here are Dainen's 6 month pictures. He is getting so BIG! (But he is still in the bottom 3% for his weight.) He is so fun and so active. He loves to talk and play and he loves loves loves to jump on mom and dad's bed. He thinks it is so fun and laughs hysterically every time. We love him and are so glad he is in our family!


He loves his horse. Thanks Aunt Alli!




He's started sticking out his tongue like this. It's so funny!

This one is Ryan's favorite. His little tongue is sticking out again.

YUMMY!

Dainen had his 4 month check-up on the 23rd and, after discovering that he is in the 3rd percentile for his weight, we decided to start solid foods. So here he is trying rice cereal for the first time. He really liked it! He would reach for it when Ryan took too long getting it to his mouth and he would open up wide when he saw it coming. We are SO excited!! Maybe now he'll start sleeping longer through the night... (I can hope.)

His bib says "Chick Magnet". Thanks Brad and Mallory! YAY! My big boy!He really did like it. It doesn't really look like he did in this picture.

An Outback Birthday

Ryan turned 25 yesterday!! He said he had a great birthday despite the fact that he had to work. He received many birthday calls wishing him well. Thanks to you all! We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner, one of our favorite places. We had fun! I brought his presents for him to open there. Dainen had fun helping him open them. I gave him the Planet Earth series on DVD. He loves it! He could sit and watch it for hours! So we watched the Deep Ocean episode as soon as we got home. It is fascinating! We had a good time. We are so thankful for Ryan and for all that he does for our family. He is an amazing husband and an awesome dad! We love you! Happy Birthday hon!
