FINALLY!!!

I wasn't sure it was gonna ever happen, but.....DAWSEN FINALLY HAS HIS FIRST TOOTH! Yay!! It has just barely broken the skin, but as soon as I can get a picture, I'll get one posted! Jaysen got his first tooth at 11 months, so Dawsen was even a little later than Jaysen was....crazy!

So I finally got a picture.....check out my first TWO teeth!!

Family Updates!

Things with our family are happening fast and furious, so I thought I would sent out a quick update on the kids:

Jaysen is getting to be such a big boy! Since getting his tubes, he is speaking so clearly, and in complete sentences....its crazy some of the things he says! Here are just a few examples:

I CANNOT go to bed yet!
No Dawsen, that's not yours, it's mine!
Why no...I don't want to eat yet!

Also, at school, Jaysen has been learning lots of new things. Because he was acting out some and seemed quite bored in his class, his teacher has decided to try him out during the morning circle / academic time with the Pre-K kiddos, who are all 2 years older than him. I was a little hesitant at first, as I wasn't sure that he was socially ready for this, but they say he sits quietly, intently listens, and actively participates! In fact, he has been telling me words that start with certain letters, and he is so clever about it. When asked what E stands for, he thinks for a minute and says "Peacock!" When I said, "E doesn't stand for Peacock", he says, "Well....let me think...It does NOT stand for elephant!" and he runs off laughing! He is such a mess!! He also came home the other day, looked up at the ceiling, and said: "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple....its a rainbow!" I asked at school the next day who was studying rainbows, and they told me that they talked about them in the Pre-K class, but not for long at all! I swear, that kid and his memory absolutely amaze me!!

Dawsen is changing daily as well. He has started getting in to everything, and wants whatever his brother has! If he had his way, he would be with Jaysen all the time. He is just about walking....I don't think it will be long at all. And he has started saying a few more words. He now says: bye-bye, more, mama, daddy, and ball. Such a little man!

Anyway, I'll update more later.....talk to you soon~

Birthday Time!

Well, its that time of year again....time to take birthday pics of the boys! Since their birthdays are exactly one month apart, I thought it was best to take their pictures together.....two weeks after Jaysen's birthday, and two weeks before Dawsen's. As you will be able to tell from these pics, Jaysen was being quite the BRAT.....therefore no pictures of the boys together, and only one halfway decent one of him alone....oh well.....I ordered them anyway. Maybe one day he will laugh at the brat he was at 3 years old! Dawsen, of course, is precious as usual!! ENJOY!!



















And this one wins the prize for BRAT OF THE YEAR!!!!

My baby is almost 1--check him out!!

The boys and I are in San Angelo this weekend, so we did Dawsen's 1 year old photo session a couple of weeks early. I absolutely CANNOT believe how fast the time flies by....it's crazy! Anyway, we have tried to keep the same themes with Dawsen's pictures that we used for Jaysen 3 years ago.....I hope you enjoy!!

Happy Birthday to Jaysen!

Wow, I can't believe that my baby turned three on January 27th!! He is so grown up! We had a small family bday party for Jaysen on Jan 31st, and he had a great time! His "brother" Lache was there, and the boys ALWAYS have a great time with him. Dawsen even decided that he was going to start "walkin" with his walker too! Enjoy the pics!!
