We are a'changin'!!!

Well, it has been a while since I posted...so let's see...what have we been up too??? Dalton will be 10 weeks old on Sunday...SO HARD TO BELIEVE! He is growing and certainly changing!!! Just yesterday Dalton discovered his left hand is attached to his body...He was laying on the changing table just staring at it! He would lift it up, hold it still in front of his face, and stare! Too cute-one of many discoveries he will make! :) This afternoon he spent his time concentrating on the blinking star and toys on his play gym...He loves this thing! (So do I...sometimes it is the only time I have to get some things done.)
This past Sunday pm-Thursday am my mom and niece, Kellyn were here! WE LOVED IT!!! Kellyn is the ROCKSTAR COUSIN! She knows how to take care of Dalton so well! She loved picking out his clothes too. Needless to say...she LOVES him immensely! To quote her..."I could just squeeze him, he is so cute!"...well, won't argue with that, though I know I am partial!

The 3 Doyles at Claimjumper on Travis and Derek's birthday! Dalton zonked after his bottle...just in time for dessert! :)
Grammy and her boy! What an awesome mom I have...she would even wake up in the middle of the night with me to feed him and would then take him to let me rest...I am so blessed! Dalton LOVES his Grammy...she became quite the expert at reading his cries!

Just thought this was a funny picture...I entitled it "What Now Mom?!??!" I think that is the look I was getting.:)
Well, we have survived his first NOT FUN virus...I couldn't believe that he got a yucky tummy bug at 7 weeks old, which lasted over 2 weeks! Thank goodness, he is getting better each day...This was a tough one! Despite his bug, he still managed to smile and be in a pretty good mood. (Especially for someone blowing through 12+ diapers a day!)
His fascination with a stuffed animal that we call "Scuba Steve" (a frog wearing snorkel gear and an inner tube) has made diaper changing fun!

Scuba Steve!
Dalton has also been enjoying tummy time...although he would MUCH prefer to lay on his back and bat at the hanging toys. We are trying to tell him how good tummy time is for him...though I don't think he cares...lol!
I had to share this picture...The onesie is the cutest! Actually this day it should have said "Mr. Crabby" BUT most days he is Mr. Happy!!! (Uncle Derek and Auntie Candace gave this onesie to him...one of my favorites!) PS. Check out the cute khakis above.:) He looked so grown up in this outfit.

  1. My goodness, he just keeps getting cuter! He is the spitting image of Travis! We're glad he's feeling better and are so excited to hear all about his developmental mile stones! Wish you were here to join Melissa and I for our "Mamma Gripes" coffee breaks :)
