PIcture Catch Up!

I had a bunch of cute pictures on my camera from the last couple weeks that are too cute to not post! So here they are.

Deegan and his cute cousin Kaden!

Eric was vacuuming along the edges of the baseboard and Deegan happened to be in the right place at the right time. ha ha. He quite enjoyed getting his hair vacuumed!

It gave him a pretty sweet hairdo!

So cute! All snuggly buggly!

Helping with the laundry. He knows how much I hate it.


Throwin his leg up and over to ride the zebra!

Ride em cowboy! Or whatever you call someone that rides zebras......

We haven't been up to anything exciting but I still try to take pics! January is just such a boring month!

Let it snow!

A couple weeks ago we had a decent snow storm and so we bundled Deegan up and Eric took him out after he got home. This was pretty much his first real interaction with the snow and he loved it.

He was trying to catch it in his mouth!

Brrr!! It looks like we forgot the gloves!

Earlier that night we went to dinner with my family at Savannah's BBQ. Yum! It had just started snowing when we were leaving.

This pic is blurry but I love it. My mom and Deegan are both so happy!!

The snow is all melted but we are supposed to get more tonight. We still need to get Deegan out in his sled that santa brought him!

14 Months and some videos!

Deegan is 14 months old! What is he up to?

He is pretty good at making messes! Although this messy kitchen isn't entirely his fault seeing as how he can't reach the counters or the sink. :) But he takes care of the rest!

Here he is trying to break into the newly installed child locks. Can I tell you how much I hate these things?

This is after I let him "cry it out" for the first time. He had been waking up 3-4 times a night and it was no fun. I only had to do it this once and so far we have been pretty good! Maybe once a night but that is not too bad. He cried pretty hard for only about 15 minutes and then he would settle down, then start fussing for second and then calm down. It was so sad but I am glad he only did it for a few minutes. I would have caved if he did it much longer!

These 2 pics are from January 13th, his official 14 month mark!

This video was also taken on his 14 month mark. I posted it on facebook so you may have already seen it. He loves this drum he got for his birthday. And he sure knows how to use the sticks!

This video is actually from Christmas but I haven't shared it yet and I love it! Peek a boo is one of his favorite games. He loves to duck down and pop back up! He will do it forever!

Some things about Deegan at 14 months!

He can say "baby" now. He also says dad (Da), bye, tries to say bird, night night (ni ni) and mama.

He loves doing "So Big"

Loves bananas! His fav foods are probably bananas, applesause, potatos, chicken nuggets and frozen pizza.

Still jabbers all of the time. I wish I knew what he was saying!

Still not walking....one day I am sure he will just take off. We will see when that is.

Loves the snow and tries to catch flakes in his mouth!

Is about 20 pounds, size 3 diapers, 6-9 month pants and 12 month tops.

Loves climbing on and off and riding his zebra.

He still gets so excited for bath time or shower time and the instant the water turns on, he goes crazy.

He will often start to fuss when you walk in his room unless you turn the light on quickly. ha ha. He thinks its bedtime otherwise.

I think that is a pretty good summary! He continues to have the happiest, most playful personality. He is a crack up and is so fun to watch play. I cannot even describe how much we love this kid. He makes life so incredible. He is learning and growing so fast and I am so happy we get to watch him! Love you my sweet goober!

Chirstmas Post. Finally!

Well here it is, a little late, but proof that we did indeed celebrate Christmas!

There are a million pictures but you should all come to expect that from me by now......

Deegans stocking loot. Santa had to get him this sled because it is perfect for babies! It has a back on it and a buckle that goes between his legs to hold him on it. We haven't used it yet because we went from no snow, to freezing freezing cold. Hopefully before winter is over!

I wish I would have taken more pics of him opening his presents and then with his stuff after, but I didn't. :( He got this Mega blocks pirate ship, a case of mega blocks, a wooden rocking horse, a cool fisher price race way ramp thing, a bounce and spin zebra that you can see behind him (it is like those horses at the park that are on the big springs, ya know? :) which is his favorite!, a leap frog magnet set for the fridge, clothes, a cool Greg Olsen board book and lots of other random things! Santa was good to our sweet boy. He deserved it all!

Sitting with his stocking goodies.

Daddy needed a little cat nap before we headed on to our next stop. Grandma Tribett's!

Everyone's stockings all lined up!

Mom's pretty tree with the unopened gifts.

Playing with some of his fun stocking goodies.

I sucked at taking pics this year! Ahh! We had a great time at my parents and we all got spoiled. Eric got a boot dryer which he loves and uses every night, I got clothes, a new hair straighter, Dr. Oz's baby book :), and our little family got Despicable Me (such a cute show!), a tooth brush sanitizer, movie tickets and a gift card to Texas Roadhouse. Wow!

Then we had our traditional German Pancakes with little smokies for breakfast. Yum! It was then onto our next stop. Phew!

My cute and happy boy waiting to open his gift.

Me and my goldfish. I have the cutest nephew ever and when he saw these and saw that one of the goldfish on the box was named Brooke, he had to get it for me. He wrapped it up and everything. So sweet Kaden! I loved it.

Deegan knows exactly what to do with wrapping paper.

He loves this toy from grandma and grandpa Sanders. I was so happy to see she got it for him. I discovered these cool, wooden, activity boxes but had already spent too much on him so luckily grandma found such a cute one for Deegan. He loves it. It really is such a fun toy with so much to do on it!

Steven and Chelsie got him this cool stuffed rocking horse. It makes horsey noises and trotting noises and its head and tail move. His legs need to get a little longer but he will love this for a long time. So, yes, he got 2 rocking horses. ha ha

Eric's parents got us a 4 person 72 hour kit. Awesome!! I have gotten lots more into food storage and 72 hour kits since having Deegan (and since seeing 2012:) so this will be a perfect addition. It is sitting on our bench/locker set that is by the garage door so we can grab it and go if that is all we have time for. Thank you guys so much!

One of Deegan's favorite things to do right now is play peek a boo by ducking down and popping up from something. ha ha. Here he is doing on Christmas. He does it at church, restaurants, just about anywhere and loves the reactions he gets each time. It really is so cute.

We got Eric's mom a nice silverware storage box. She has had her nice silverware in a shoe box forever so this will be good. Funny story, she has had one of these on her wish list for as long as I can remember and so we finally found her one this year. A week or so before Christmas I was looking at her list and noticed she had crossed it off. What?! Eric casually brought it up and she said she didn't think they made them anymore so she just took it off. Luckily she still wanted one and was happy to see they do in fact still make them. ha ha.

Enjoying a cookie after our yummy Chirstmas dinner!

Kinda of a random pic but later Christmas night we went back to my parents to play games. My aunt got us a new one called Would You Rather and you get challenges that the other players choose for you. Well this one, my mom had to lap water out of a bowl like a cat for 30 seconds. ha ha. It was pretty funny!

What a great Christmas we had with all our family! We are lucky we live so close to them and see them often. I can't wait for next year already! I know Deegan will be so fun. Anyways, if you made it this far, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are having an enjoyable new year! We have set some pretty high, but very reastic, goal for ourselves to accomplish in the coming months and I will be one happy girl when we accomplish them!

Happy 2011! I know it will be an amazing year!
