Davis & Dalton's First Birthday

Today, is the day! My beautiful baby boys are officially not babies anymore :( This past year has just flown by and my boys have made this past year one of the best years of our families lives. It makes me sad to think you are already one, but happy to know you have so much more ahead of you to start learning in your young, precious lives. Davis, always the happy boy, you love to laugh and are quite the explorer/adventurer. Dalton, always the shy, yet curious boy, you are defintely a mommy's boy. You love to play and explore, but only with mommy within eye or ear shot. Thank you for the double blessings you have been to us and we can't wait to see what this next year brings!

 

 

 

Cousin Kruz

My cousin, Rory, his wife Melody and three-month-old son, Kruz, came to pay us a visit while they were traveling through town. Cassidy couldn't get enough of Kruz. You would think she had forgotten that she had two tiny babies in her house not too long ago, but I guess when her brothers are as big as they are now, it is hard to remember that. Anyway, She couldn't wait to hold Kruz and was completely mesmerized (picture 3) with Melody when she was nursing Kruz. I don't know if it was because Kruz was under a wrap or what, but I guess because I never covered up when nursing her brothers, she could have cared less when they were nursing.

 

 

 

 

Sprinkler fun

Cassidy, Davis and Dalton got to have some fun in the sprinkler earlier this month, courtesy of Cappy. Cassidy and Davis loved it, but Dalton wasn't quite sure about it. It brought back fond memories of my childhood and doing the exact same thing, sans clothing. :)

 

 

 

 

Big sister duties

We were at my parents house earlier this summer and Cassidy got to be the driver instead of the passenger, pulling her two brothers in her wagon. Let me tell you, that is not an easy feat!

 

 

 

 

First Haircut

The boys got their first haircuts on Tuesday. There have been lots of firsts lately and this was yet another one. Davis desperately needed a cut as evidenced by the before and after picture. Dalton, not so much. So, his before picture I actually took a picture of the back of his head so one day he can see how long it was in the back and on the sides. I got no smiles from Dalton, but I am sure that was because he was mad at me for cutting the hair he does have. :) I thought it was going to be a traumatizing experience for everyone, but they loved it, especially Davis. And in case you are wondering, they only charged me for a bang cut for Dalton, even though it was the back of his hair and around his ears...Poor boy, hopefully he will have hair someday just like his brother and get charged full price!

 

 

 

 

Caught!!

The boys keep me very busy these days as they get into everything. Here are some pictures of them caught in the pantry and rummaging through Cassidy's room.

 

 

 

 

Looking pretty

Smiles are hard to come by from Cassidy, so when she asked me to take a picture of her, I agreed as long as she would smile...although, be it a forced smile!

 

Cheeks for days...

What did you think I was talking about?

 

Rub-a-dub-dub

Bath time is always an adventure at our house. Cassidy has started joining her brothers during bath time only to make it that more exciting. Nothing is left dry in the bathroom once they are done...including mommy. I have learned to pretty much strip down if I don't want to get drenched. I keep Davis, who we affectionately call "wild man", in the tub seat, only to confine him. Cassidy's sour puss face in this picture is because she just got in trouble for drinking the bath water...again! EWWW!

 

11 Months Old

Eleven months old today! It is unbelievable to me that my boys are this old. It seems like yesterday they were totally immombile, sleeping all day, saying nothing and oh, so tiny. Things sure have changed in a short time!
