Just a couple pics-I forgot to include

Here's a couple cute ones I forgot to post...The onesie below says "I Want Candy!" (care of Auntie Melissa) Although he is way too young to try it yet, I am sure that he will be just like Dad in that department too!

Saturday we were able to meet up with my friend, Laura, her hubby and their two boys, who were all is town from their new home in Hawaii. Must be rough, huh? They looked great and wow, those boys have grown. Below is her youngest, Chase, who is 6 months. Dalton and Chase were so cute. They were totally checking each other out. Chase even gave Dalton a hug!

Look who's 4 months old!!!


That's right, Dalton turned 4 months old today! We can't believe how fast time has gone and can't imagine life without him. He is getting so fun too! He is laughing and smiling a ton! Once 3 months hit, his personality really started to show. He went to the doctor for his 4 month shots on Friday. Travis had to take him alone since I was still at work. What a cool daddy!!! Anyway, Dalton is almost 17 pounds and is 25 1/2 inches long. Some of his 6 month clothes are short now! Seems like he grows daily, which I suppose he probably does!

I put him in his positioner chair today for the first time. He is so strong he has no trouble sitting up, but after a while he starts tilting to one side, usually the left. He would look up at me, as if to say, "Little help here Mom!" Too cute!
Oh, yeah, forgot to mention, the lil guy is teething...so it is now DROOL GALORE!!!! It is as if the faucet turned on! Plus everything now goes in the mouth! One of his new favorite moves is to grab my hand and pull it to his mouth to chomp on my finger. I can certainly feel the difference on his gums.
Bathtime has just gotten more interesting!!! Tonight he started SPLASHING!!! It was a hoot! I have a short video but am having trouble posting it...so suppose you'll just have to imagine it and take a close look at the shot below...He managed to splash his face a ton and didn't seem to mind.
Hope to post more soon! Off to bed soon hopefully...fingers crossed for a full night's sleep!

Three and a Half Months and Growing Strong!

This has to be a short post...but I know that I have neglected my postings....TOO MUCH TO DO SO LITTLE TIME!!! The mom stuff just keeps getting better and better! The working stuff kinda stinks! (It's not that I don't love my job, it's just hard to be 100% when you are tired and really wanting to be with your baby...oh well, such is life...and I do feel blessed to have a job where I love the people I work with and that still pays the bills.)
Anyway, Dalton is developing his own little personality and is quite entertaining. Here's just a few pics to give you a taste of our lil guy....who by the way is growing so much he is into 6 month clothes because he is so tall! His 3 month clothes weren't cutting it...can we say floods?!?!


Bathtime is becoming an enjoyable time for Dalton. This is one of my new favorite photos! I just love his sweet innocent face...He is getting so strong with holding up his head up and looking around! He's done it for a while, but has much better control now.:)
In all his glory...milk drool and all!!!
He sure can have serious faces....REALLY just seconds before this shot was taken he was laughing and smiling at his toy elephant, which we have named Elmer...He was having a blast with him...then, bam, take out the camera and the smile disappeared!
See you soon!!! Hugs to you all!
