And the many faces of Dane

I always love days like these. You can almost hear him laughing when you look at the pictures.

Gretchen kisses

Gretchen is a dog that belongs to my parents neighbor. She seemed to really want to give Dane kisses, he's just not used to such a big dog. I think Gretchen is at least as tall as he is, maybe a little taller. But, he seemed to enjoy them!

When one smile won't do...

Just stick on another one or two...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Oh my gosh!

Mom I heard it was your birthday.

Will there be presents Mom?

I will be your present Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Love Dane

CRAYOLAS!!!

Looky here I have crayons!  All these beautiful colors.
I couldn't be any more excited...

It's a lot harder to stay in the lines than
I thought! Total concentration is what its gonna take...
This is our future Picasso...ok maybe not,
but Dane is sure giving it a good try. 
Thanks Gramma Carol for sending
Aunt Rosanne these funny pictures. 
She laughs at me a lot. 
But always with a heart full of love...;^)

Splash pad

Dane went to his friend Nora's 1st birthday at the splash pad at our city park on May 29th. He really wasn't sure about the water, but he was a trooper and played a little bit. He sure looked cute in the swim outfit Aunt Rosanne got him!

So, that is a view of the bottom of my wine glass. Dane has not been sleeping well the past few weeks. He wakes up in the middle of the night crying. Poor poot. My best guess is it's either teething (2 yr molars) or separation anxiety. Or both. So, here is my toast to myself!

Catch up

So, it's been quite a while since there has been new pictures, so I thought I would throw a few up.

This one is a favorite of mine, we were having a great time laughing



This is at grandma and grandpa's house. I was walking up the sidewalk and he saw me

Here is Dane eating a lemon he found

I can't believe he's getting so big! It's been fun watching him grow into a little boy.

Missed Planes

I heard Aunt Rosanne and Uncle Geary
were coming to visit.

Than I heard them say snow?
And something about a de-icer

And they missed the plane

I am dreaming about snow and planes.
There will be another time for a visit.
I love my Aunt Rosanne and Uncle Geary.

Yearly Check-up

Dane had his 12 month check up, 27 lbs 11 oz, 30.75 in. He's back ON the charts, 95% for weight, 75% for height. His height % went down quite a bit, but he was eating like crazy last week and the week before, so I think we are looking to stretch out here. He got his shots, 1 in each arm and 1 in his leg. Such a big... kid now, getting his shots in his arms! He's doing great and sounds like a typical 1 year old.

Birthday Boy

It's party time for Baby Dane.

You say it's my birthday!

We're going to have a good time.

Presents

Ya! We're having a good time

Look at Me!

 

Grandma Just for you!

Grandma I heard it was your birthday and you had a party.

Whoa with cake and ice cream!

With presents too!

Here's a hug. Just for you.
Happy Birthday Grandma!
