My big boy!

Dallin just had his birthday a few weeks ago. He is two now! I can't believe how time has flown. We are so happy to have him in our family though! I would post pictures of how much he has grown but that would require getting up off the couch and getting the external hard drive so maybe I will do that later... Right now I am just trying to do this before I should run upstairs for a shower before church.

Anyway, he is such an intelligent little boy and is oh-so helpful! These are some of the things he can do/likes to do.

-Knows all his colors except orange, it's a hard one!
-Knows how to count to 5 by himself and 10 with a little help
-With visuals can get to M in the alphabet
-Loves to "shoot" diapers into the trash can
-Playing with Tristan
-Helping in the kitchen. He knows exactly what goes into Mac'n'Cheese.
-Sleeps in his crib with the side off and has only fallen out twice!
-Still takes naps!
-Loves to destroy towers or anything we have built
-Runs everywhere
-Understands "no" but also knows how to push the limits
-Can hold his pee until he has a diaper on again (grrr)
-Jumps on the trampoline like no ones business
-Loves to ride down our big hill in his car
-Loves to watch t.v. especially Thomas the Train and Phineas and Ferb
-Does not know how to turn on said T.V.
-Can't open doors still (naptime will be fun when he can!)
-Can use the iPhone better than most adults
-Hates wearing clothes


These were his birthday day pictures! Chris worked super late and he was having so much fun in the mud that I didn't have the heart to bring him in and put him to bed.

"I may be 2, Mommy, but I still eat dirt!" And wear it too...

Who needs rain boots? Just run around in undies!

He looks so big and grown up in this picture to me. I remember when he was 7 pounds 9 ounces. Now he is 26 and a half pounds. But Tristan is gaining on him! He is 22 and a half pounds!

Grandma Peggy and Dallin share the same birthday so she came over for a dinner with us which was nice since Chris was still working. When she left though she took her cat back (yay!) who we had watched over the weekend for her while she was out of town. Though now every time Grandma comes over Dallin always asks for the "neenee" which is the kitty.

Man... What am I going to do when Tristan turns 2? They get so big and old and independent so fast!
