YEA Nap time!

Wow Dalton only took 3 mins to get to sleep for his nap! I know everyone is probably tired of hearing about his sleeping issues but that was HUGE for us! He was bad on going to bed after our vacation in September 2007. So now that he is sleeping great it is a big weight off our shoulders! I posted some more pictures of his birthday in the previous post! I know his birthday was a few months ago but everyone always loves pictures. Dalton had a big fall on Saturday! That would be his first real boo boo! He fell on the sidewalk on his forehead! It sounded like a pumpkin hitting the ground. He was a trooper & did not cry long. He cried longer because I made him come inside. It is hard to see your baby in pain.

Quick Morning Post!

Well Grandma & Grandpa are on their way to Colorado to ski! I am sad because we are not going. We had such a great time with them in Sept! We love to ski too!!! Dalton just cried when going to bed last night for about 3 SECONDS yes I said SECONDS. He has gotten to be a bed time champ! If you had told me this about 3 weeks ago I would have said he was going to sleep with us FOREVER!!!! AHHHHHH he is now sleeping in his own bed!! I know there will be times that he comes to our bed but nothing like 3 months!!! We are headed out to visit my neice & her family! The baby girl is soooooo cute! You know I want another baby even more now!!!! Good Day to everyone!!!

15 month checkup today!

What a brave boy I have. He only cried for a few seconds after his shots! He is such a big boy! His stats are great! (see growth chart) Dr. said he is doing wonderful. He is right on track for his age. I, of course, think he is above avg! He is so smart!! He loves to read & brush his teeth which I think are great!!!

Bad Blogger!!

Well I have not been such a good blogger lately! I have been a little down & have not been much up to blogging. Dalton is great but I am not so much! I need to change my attitude & get myself into gear. I have a great family & need not to be so down. I take Dalton to the DR Friday for his 15 month checkup. I can't wait to find out what he weighs & how tall he is now. Pants he had in September are now to big in the waist, so I imagine he is just growing up not out!! My neice had her baby on Sunday morning, she is the cutiest little girl!! We are going to visit her again tomorrow. Dalton will get to meet her for the first time. Well I am off to bed!!

4 New teeth! OUCH!

I could not figure out why Dalton did not want to eat lunch. Then when I got ready to put him in his CRIB (yes crib) for a nap I checked his mouth. We have been waiting for the bottom 2 new molars that are coming to the surface when I just checked the top for grins. I did not think they were close but they are broken thru the skin already on the sides. He is probably hurting bad! I gave him some soft stuff for lunch. Poor baby boy! He is doing great on the sleeping! He cries when he first goes into his bed but then after about 5 mins or so he falls asleep. YEA!!!!!!!! I thought this day would never come!! BUT it did !!! My boy is now perfect!!!! He never whines or cries except for bedtime. He is just a good boy!!! He makes our lives complete! Thanks for being my son Dalton!!! LOVE YA!!!

Happy New Year!!! Happy Birthday DADDY!!

Wow I can't believe that it is 2008 & I have a toddler! Dalton wishes his Daddy a Happy Birthday today!! My dreams of motherhood have come true & I am a mother to the BEST kid on the planet!! He is really getting around great now. We are kind of boring & stayed home last night. We are starting off the new year right!! Dalton fell asleep on his own in his OWN bed!! YEA mark one victory for Mom & Dad!! Today at naptime it was a little harder but right now he is sleeping in his own bed & he did it on his own!! I almost gave up today!!! My brain said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't give up" my heart said hold him!!! But this time I went with my brain, maybe it does know something (HAHA). The book I am reading says it can take up to 10 days to get him to do it on his own!! I am sure it won't take that long!! (I HOPE) Well Happy Birthday to my Dear Husband!! You have been a Great Dad to Dalton (and your girls)!! LOVE YA!!
