I am sorry for taking 6 months to post. Everytime I sit down and think about it, a child needs my attention, or I have something else that is more important, or I am so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open.
Re-cap of the last 6 months...which I am sure I am leaving things out.
Start with our family, we finally finished our basement...which has made such a huge difference this winter. It's so nice to be able to go down there and then shut the door when we are done, plus it feels very homey down there. Andy hasn't really had to travel for work much, which has been nice to have him home. I cut down my hours at work, and now work 2 days a week. I took a photography class, and am trying to work on taking better pictures. We made our first trip to Iowa to visit family, and the trip went so great both ways. My brother is getting married! My sister moved to Dallas! Andy's brother started his first "real" job!
Okay, the part you are waiting for....the boys.
My baby, Dylan. He is 7 months...I know, can you believe it? He is such a joy. He loves his big brother so much, and anything that he does he is watching and smiling and laughing. He is a chunker (aka chubby), he is only in the 10% for weight, but he has rolls, and I love those rolls. He is a grunter, and grunts laughs...it is the funniest sound. He says, "dadada". He can wave bye-bye. He does this cute thing when I hold my head to the side and look at him and he does it back to me. He is CRAWLING...I am so in trouble...he loves his babyfood (bananas are his favorite), and is still nursing like a champ. It was hard to believe that my heart could hold more love than it did for Tanner, but my heart is fuller than ever, and Dylan has filled it.
My big-boy, Tanner. He is 2 1/2 and one minute he is making me laugh and the next minute he makes me want to pull my hair out...typical toddler huh? I mean the things that he says I have to write down because I don't want to forget. He is a stinker, he knows when he does something wrong and is the most lovey boy ever, he will say, "I'm sorry Mom"..and come and hug and kiss me. He potty trained himself basically in December, and we still reward with M&M's and high-fives all around. He is obsessed with sports, especially golf. He definately went outside in the snow in his snowboots and coat and gloves and hat and hit orange golf balls from the driveway into the snow! He loves his friends at school, and loves to tell us all about them when he gets home. He is the sweetest, loveable, ball-of-fire little boy I could have ever dreamed for.
Hope this post helps you sleep at night now that you know what is going on in our little world...haha. Hopefully the next one won't be another 6 months!
