I am a WALKER!!!

Dalton is offically a true walker now! Toddler is his name & Toddling is his game! HAHA! He is everywhere now. WOW did not expect it to be this tiring on me. I am chasing after him. He likes to do a slow run rather then walk at times. What a day makes! He is now getting up without using a chair or ME to pull up on. That started on Saturday & now when he falls he just gets back up no problem. He is still a little wobbly but overall doing great! I am excited he will be walking for Christmas that is what I wanted! (But do I really want it now?) We chose not to put up a tree this year because he would have knocked it down for sure! We went to see Santa yesterday & he DID NOT like it at all! Now I have a great picture to show his girlfriends when he gets older. When I can get it scanned I will put it on. I can't figure out how to use my new printer/scanner. Now I am going to finish my Christmas Shopping!!! I got the following little story from a friend and it really puts Christmas in perspective. Also I read that Christ is the longest thing in Christmas! Is that not true or what!

Mary's Dream I had a dream, Joseph. I don't understand it, not really, but I think it was about a birthday celebration for our Son. I think that was what it was all about. The people had been preparing for it for about six weeks. They had decorated the house and bought new clothes. They'd gone shopping many times and bought elaborate gifts. It was peculiar though, because the presents weren't for our Son. They wrapped them in beautiful paper and tied them with lovely bows and stacked them under a tree. Yes, a tree, Joseph, right in their house! The branches were full of glowing balls and sparkling ornaments. There was a figure on the top of the tree. It looked like an angel might look. Oh, it was beautiful. Everyone was laughing and happy. They were all excited about the gifts. They gave the gifts to each other, Joseph, not to our Son. I don't think they even knew Him. They never mentioned His name. Doesn't it seem odd for people to go to all that trouble to celebrate someone's birthday if they don't know Him. I had the strangest feeling that if our Son had gone to this celebration He would have been intruding. Everything was so beautiful, Joseph, and everyone so full of cheer, but it made me want to cry. How sad for Jesus not to be wanted at His own birthday celebration. I'm glad it was only a dream. How terrible, Joseph, if it had been real.

Wow we all need to remember this!!

I can SAY.....

SANTA! I think that is soooo cool! My neighbor gave Dalton this cute Santa hanger for his door knob. Well I was changing his diaper & he was playing with it when he got it and I said "Santa" then he repeated it right back to me!!!! The kid can say Santa but does not say Mommy!! He has said Mommy a few times but not much! I guess he knows who to suck up to right now!! SANTA! My boy is growin up. He says so many more things now. Here are a few words: GO GO GO, Yes, Santa, (of course Daddy), Lily & the occasional Mommy! He is really smart this one! I usually show him something once & he gets it!

Flu Shot!

Dalton had his second part of his flu shot today. He was a little trooper! He only cried for about 4 seconds. It was fast! He has become such a little walker! He is trotting around everywhere now. Unfortunately I am going to have to put shoes on him more when we go out now. He wanted down in the Dr. office today. Of course I only had socks on him. He wanted to walk around. I got him some hard shoes the other day, but he does not want to walk in them. He just stands there like AHHHHH what do I do in these things! We are both getting over a cold, I am sick of them. But I think it is because the weather changes from hot to cold & does not stay either! I wish it would just stay cold already!!

I am TIRED!!!

Whew! Mommy is sooooo tired! I have worked my buns off this past week! Dalton has had a great time with Daddy, Pappa & Jo. Grandma & I have had 2 lobby shows aday this week! So I have not had the time to blog! Next week I am done with Lobby Shows. That is bitter sweet! Then I can begin to get my shopping done.

Big boy haircut!

This picture is of him getting his haircut the first time.
This is him just after his big boy haircut.

Well I got Dalton's haircut like a big boy!! As we are calling it. He was a perfect angel just like the first time we got it cut but I chickened out on the back curls.

I got tired of it being so long. It was out of control!

He just sat in the chair while the lady cut it really still. We went to a place just for kids. He got to sit in a Fire Engine chair. Even when the lady buzzed around his head with the clippers he was still & quiet.

He is really getting along with the walking. I will have to get a video & get it posted. He takes 10 steps at a time. He is still not sure if that is the way to go. Crawling is still faster for him.

He has been giving more kisses lately too. He is saying more words. He likes to say GO GO GO. Also he says my mother's dog's name Lily. It is cute.

Mamma would be goooooooodddddd!!!
