It's time for a post about Deano








I'm feeling a little guilty for all of the recent posts about Addie. You'd think I only had 1 kid, so I think it's time to do a little bragging about my growing boy!

These days Deano-
*is registered for preschool!?! He'll be going to The Avondale Academy at the end of August and he is so so excited! Everytime we drive my he says "that's my school!". The beauty of this place in that it's only about a 3 minute drive from the house.
*is OBSESSED with the super hero squad. He's moved on from ghostbusters and has put all of his intrest from that to the super heroes. He's got loads of action figures and almost always has them battleing eachother in some way or other. Occasionally he take out plastic forks and puts them between his fingers to pretend he's wolverine. He's such a character!
*is recognizing numbers and letters
*is learning how to use a computer
*has a new interest in watching Veggie Tales, which I think is great, since it's got a great message.
*is able to wear his first pair of flip flops. In the past I've bought them for him, but his feet were always too chubby to fit into them, now they're perfect. And... he can put them on by himself! Score!
*isn't willing to eat a huge variety of foods. Chicken nuggets from McDonalds, Dinosaur Chicken, most fruits, no veggies aside from corn and peas, unless I sneak them into something. : /
*loves to run around the house throwing himself all over the couches.
*is working on not using pull ups for nighttime... which is proving to be a little difficult since he's such a sound sleeper.


Deano is generally a happy kind kid. He doesn't mind sharing at all, just so long as no one tries to take his toys home with them. He HATES change... doesn't like furniture to be moved around, or toys to be transferred to knew toy bins, he's a funny boy. Even if I move is carseat around in the car, he hates it.

Love my boy!

Dean's first friend party



A month or so ago... maybe more? Dean was invited to his very first friend birthday party. It was for Aiden Doxey and Dean had a great time. It was a mighty machines themed party and the kids had lots of fun playing with big building blocks and diggers, tractors, dump trucks ect...

14 months!

Addie babe is 14 months... already. Didn't she just turn 1... and wait, wasn't she just born?
Anyway, she's happy as always, maybe more in some ways, less in others.
These days Addie:
*is walking!!! one day about 2 weeks ago she flipped her walking switch and boom, within about 3 days she was a pro. aside from the 4 or so bruises that have graced her head from failling/tripping on her new legs.
*can sign please
*wears her hair in pigtails and pony tails
*still eats baby food a lot, and i say hey, who cares... she happily eats her veggies in pureed form, so who am i to complain?
*loves crackers and just about anything sweet
*dances everytime she hears music. imagine a toddling 1 year old stopping dead in her tracks when music comes on to start bouncing and smiling.
*climbs up onto the couch, much to my dismay, and trys to get a leg up on just about anything she can
*doesn't love her stroller so much anymore, probably because she thinks she needs to walk everywhere now.
*rode her first tiny battery opperated four wheeler with her cousin makaiya... without moms help!
*loves loves loves books. i probably put the books away atleast 10 times a day.
*brown eyes
*has size 3 feet
*wears 6-12 and 12-18 month clothing
*wears size 4 diapers
*drinks out of a sippy cup aside from a bottle first thing in the morning and a bottle just before bed.
*loves her little blankie... and immediately perks up and smiles when she sees it
*has reddish hair except for the patch that went bald on the back of her head when she was a baby, that spot in super blond.
*is generally good natured and patient. she shares and is pretty tough.
*LOVES babies... fake ones, real ones... it doesn't matter. if there is a picture of a baby on my computer screen, she grins hugely, points and says "dee dee" over and over. love it! i have 2 books on a shelf in the living room that are about parenting, and so they have babies on the cover. of all the books lined up for the taking, those two are the only ones she pulls out, just so she can look at the babies. she's all girl.
*knows where her belly is
*covers her eyes with her hands in an attempt to hide. so so cute.
She's my baby... i love her, what can i say?
