Notice all the water on his face. Dalton has starting kicking like crazy in the water. He also screams when we take him out of it too. He is very much like his daddy. I think he'll be a little fish in our complex's pool.
Ward Christmas Party 2009.
Dalton wasn't afraid of Santa at all. In fact, when we put him in his lap he turned to Santa and yanked his beard down passed his chin. Jed and I quickly jumped in front of Santa so that the cute little kids behind us didn't have their dreams ripped up in front of their eyes. Don't ya know Dalton yanked it off a second time too! :O)
They like each other a little.
Opps, he tumbled over!
"Fine, How is this!?!"
"Mom this is BORING!"
I wish so much that his head isn't cut off in this picture. It is one of the best pictures of him!
Dalton isn't the best at sitting. (Doctor says it's ok because his other gross motor skills are developing so well) But he did really well for these pictures.
Proof that I was alive! I am always behind the camera. We have tons of pictures of Jed and Dalton but few of he and I together.
Grammaw Susie and Papaw Dave have the best toys and books at their house!
Can you tell by this picture that Grady might be a handful? LOL He is such a cutie and LOVES "Baby Dalt-Ton"
One tired babe on his Grammaw Susie. Oh and this was outfit #2 on Thanksgiving. Dalton decided something on my plate looked really yummy and reached for it. Needless to say my arms aren't as long as Jed's arms. So Dalton and I got a plate full of Thanksgiving dinner on our laps. (Don't worry is was room temp by this time)
This is my Uncle Rick and Aunt Pam with lil man. Rick had lots of close calls a couple months ago. I am so grateful that our prayers were answered with him. They mean the world to us and it was such a scary thought to think my mom might loose her only other living sibling. We lost my Uncle John this summer.
Enjoying a little time with his (great) Grammaw Jane. She likes to rock him...and he likes her lots!
My mom had us pick up a new shower cap while we were at Wal-Mart....and in the spirit of Thanksgiving morning Grammaw Susie thought Dalton made a cute chef!
"Oh boy Oh boy! A whole box of them!!"
"What is this? It's.So.Shiney!"
"Wait there is something really cool behind me!"
Dalton in his jammies that Grady passed down. This was right after we put up our tree.
Such a Big Little Man!
Dalton's fohawk! I got the urge one night before bath time to give him one. What do you think?
Church wears Dalton out. He normally sleeps during Sacrament Meeting (my time with him). During the second hours he hangs out with me during opening exercises of Primary while Jed starts his Sunday School class with the priests and laurels and on my way to our classroom he gets dropped off to Dad. Both of our classes really like Dalton. Jed says that even the young men like to play with him. My sweet little eight year olds are so cute with him. I think they would like me to bring him in our class, but we get off track really easily as it is. :O) But anyway by the time we leave church Dalton is either zonked out or so close that he is slap happy.
I know the hat looks goofy. It's actually a very cute hat that his Aunt Lindsay made for him. I was just in such a hurry to get him home before he fell asleep. (Notice I lost that battle) I totally put it on all wrong and didn't have it folded at all. Opps. BUT LOOK at HIM! I know he is my son, but his eyelashes still amaze me at times!
Our friends Adrianne and Mike let us borrow this jumper after seeing how much Dalton loved it. Talk about a life savor.
This is the little leopard Grady and Waylon picked out for Dalton this last summer while we were at the zoo. Dalton loves him
He almost always falls asleep in the carrier.
Helping Daddy put the clean dishes away. He is holding that himself!
If you listened to my instructions, then this is where you may begin! :O) I have the hardest time with my blog sometimes. Oh well. This is a LONG post, but I haven't posted pictures since Halloween! SO I hope you enjoy.
P.S. I LOVE comments :O) Hint Hint. :O)
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had lots of fun here at our house and then we went to my parents' house for more festivities on December 23. Here is Dalton so excited for Christmas. This was a couple weeks ago. Poor thing could barely wait until Christmas to tear into the presents.
His smile makes me so happy. We haven't seen as much of it the last few weeks. We took him to the doctor but it just must be teething. We miss our very happy easy going babe.
"Here Mom this should go over there!"
Dalton LOVED opening presents. He opened them really fast and with minimal help. :O)
This is my brother, Waylon, and his son, Grady with Mr. Chubby. :O) Uncle Waylon loves his nephew! And Grady really likes "Baby Dalt-ton" as long as Grandma Susie isn't holding him. :O)
Sleepy little boy. He has a very hard time napping and going to bed on time at Grandma and Papaw's house. There is just too much going on.
This was the Sunday before Christmas. One of the very few pictures of all three of us that we have. And those are my brand new glasses! :O) 
The boys enjoying a Sunday afternoon.
Grady was so excited that Santa left some suckers at Grandma Jane and Papaw Jim's house. All those toys and that's what he was happiest about.
We think Dalton did well at my mom and dad's house. :O) He did just as great at my grandparents' house. Thanks everyone!
Ok, I really know that everyone thinks their baby is a doll, but look at his little profile!
Happy to get some Buckeyes gear and good ol' Wranglers just like Papaw Dave wears!
Daddy helping Dalton!
Books books books! Dalton LOVES books.
Thanks Uncle Waylon, Aunt Ashley and Grady!
Happy! OH and notice my hair..... JED cut it! :O) I taught him how and he was very careful to ask questions and here it is! It's quite different from before. Scroll up at the picture of us at church to really see the difference.
Bottle break. Sorry presents you'll just have to wait.
Jed taking a picture of his goodies from my Uncle and Aunt and Pap and Gram.... There is also a Sports Resort game for the Wii, but I opened it and so it was at the bottom of Dalton's pile. We had a GREAT Christmas! Thanks!!
Mom's lip gloss is a great teether I guess. He refused to give it up.
Showing off some winter gear!
Another one with glasses and hand in mouth! :O)
Our visit wore him out!
So excited about his presents! He wanted everything opened and played with before he would go to the next present.
And these pictures are to show his handsome new short that should be worn at all times because everytime we are out someone tells us what a beautiful baby girl we have.... lol HELLO Blue clothes..... Airplane blanket..... OH well!
Hope you all enjoyed our pictures. I'm sorry they are so out of order I don't know what I keep doing to make it wrong, but what you see is what you get. :O)
