Valentine's Day

Our family on Valentine's morning!

Thank you to Aunt Sue for the bib.

Eight Months

Eight Months Already!  (Well, actually on Feb 5th)

At eight months Dixon can... use his pincher grasp to feed himself at dinner, especially thawed frozen veggies, canned green beans, Cheerios and anything that comes off mommy's plate. crawl forwards and backwards.  is starting to pull up on everything.  has two teeth (bottom middle) and is about to add a third (also on the bottom). 

Likes- all kinds of food, nursing, playing with shoelaces, peek-a-boo, putting things in his mouth, bathtime and going on trips.

Dislikes- bedtime, having his face cleaned, wearing his hat and being left alone.

He is making it quite hard to get this picture!

Which one is D?

Three little Monkeys!

Island Living

Our friend just got back from Hawaii and brought D his own little outfit.  He hasn't tried the shorts but we wore the top over his onesie the other day.

Ready for the beach!

Monkey Daddy

So Dixon promptly grew out of the baby towels and we had to purchase a toddler sized one.  We found this Monkey one at Target on sale and decided it would do.  The best part is the Monkey head fits on Ryan's head so each night before bath D and Daddy play.. Monkey?  Daddy?  Monkey?  Daddy?

After his bath we play peek a boo with the side of the towel and he has started grabbing it and yanking it down whenever I say, "Where's Dixon?" Then he brings it back up over his face again.  He thinks this is hilarious.
