Thank God I'm a Country Boy...


Well actually he's a city boy...but we'll pretend for photographic purposes :0)

Yee Haw!

Go Steelers!!


I was trying to take some pics of Dalton in his Steeler "gear" so I could give to Travis...dumb me waited to put this stuff on last so he was getting irritated by the end of our little photo shoot here (see next photo!).

Disgruntled Fan


My Angel Is the Centerfold...


As the J Geils Band song goes...

So Tell Me Again...I Am Naked WHY?!

Loves His New Play Mat


Sensory Overload!

My Favorite Boys


Nap Time


Trav was getting ready to take a nap so we put Dalton next to him for a bit. He would never take a pacifier but for some reason he just started yesterday... but will only do so when he wakes up from a little nap and then only for like 5 minutes.

Dad is Yummy!


Trav had worked a long shift and was barely awake but Dalton was busy chomping on him! You can Dalton's two little white teeth under the gum on the bottom but nothing has broken the skin yet. He's only 16 weeks and is drooling like a drunken sailor...wonder when they'll come out?!

Thanks, Aunt Janet!


Today Dalton got a package from "Aunt" Janet in El Paso. It was a hat box that she decorated/personalized to match his nursery theme and it's adorable!! Inside she put tons of other homemade items (see next post) that are just fantastic - it must have taken her hours and hours to do all of this - we sure love it all & appreciate her thoughtful and amazing gifts!

Check Out All the Goodies Inside!!


Inside the hat box were all these goodies that she made herself: A little container for his hospital bracelet, an AMAZING scrapbook that has all the pages done and I just have to add pics (she knows me too well!) and the baby shower box to put my cards, favors and also a cd she decorated to transfer all my photos to. What can I say - she thought of everything so I now have somewhere to document/put all my baby mementos...incredible gifts, for sure!!

Peace Out, Y'all!


I know his hands aren't exactly making the "peace" sign but use your imagination! haha

Watching Mom


He's fixated on what ridiculos faces, dances or songs I will perform in order to get him to smile!

Urkel


Fix my pants already, Mom - I look like Urkel!!

New Kicks


Admiring his new shoes...that he'll wear for a New York minute! ha

Showin' Some Leg


Jungle Boy


Some staged photos in his nursery...he's pretty flexible as long as he's not hungry! ha

In the Beginning...


This is when he was first home with us...so tiny! The next two pics show how big he has gotten, so hard to believe he's almost 16 weeks old (this Friday)!!

...somewhere in between...


After!


He is getting so big...almost hanging out of his bouncy chair!

Making Progress


Nigel is finally warming up to this "baby situation". This is big progress here with him sitting next to Travis while he's holding Dalton. Normally he could care less and steers clear after a quick sniff of the baby. Not sure what is up with the camera/his eye color...normally they are blue (Nigel's eyes, not the baby or Trav's! ha).

The Boys


Nigel, Travis and Dalton relaxing on the couch

So Strong


He's good about holding up his neck when you first put him on his belly but then he gets pooped and lays his face on the blanket and squawks until we pick him up.

Tummy Time


We try to put him on his belly several times a day but he isn't too thrilled with it just yet.

Photo Shoot is Officially OVER!


Uh Oh...Maybe Not?


Wait A Minute - I Think I'm OK


Getting Frustrated


We Done Yet?


OOOOOOOOOhhhhh!


It's All Good!


Don't Kick a Dog When He's Down


Dalton was getting excited and started kicking his feet so it was time to leave the poor old dog alone, he'd been so patient for the "photo shoot".

Snugglin' with His Pooch


Hmmm...Maybe I'll Try a Taste


You Make a Nice Bed, Ivan


Dog Says, "I Didn't Push Him, I Swear"


Talk about an "action" shot - I must have taken this like the split second before Dalton face-planted on the couch. He hasn't quite mastered the sitting up thing yet...obviously...and in my defense - he didn't cry!! ha

Uh Oh! He's Lickin' His Chops...


Are You Ok with This, Ivan?


Hi Ivan!


My Feets!


He just discovered his feet this past week...he likes to grab on to them then fall sideways...hasn't put them in his mouth...YET!

Half Roll with Finger Suck


What can I say...the kid is talented! haha

Froggy Pose


Resting


It's hard working trying to roll over...needs a break before he tries again.

Half Roll


He's been working on his rolling over...he gets half way there and stops.
