22 Months

Deegan was 22 months on the 13th!

If he gets sad or mad (like if he gets in trouble) he will usually ask for “night night” or grandma.

He has a very soft heart just like his mommy.

Loves Elmo

Has recently started to have more of an attention span and more interest in watching TV and movies. He loves The Price is Right!

He has started say “my” in front of most things.

He usually calls our dog Moose, “Moosey” but has started saying “Mitsy Bissy”. Not sure why but it sounds pretty dang cute.

Spent his first weekend in our new 5th Wheel and he did great! He loved it. He did so well traveling to Casper and back as well. Hardly slept and stayed happy for the most part.

He says “Hi” to everyone he passes. They of course usually smile and say it back to him.

He is in a phase where he wants to be held and rocked to sleep every night. I am loving this. He usually just wants to get right into his bed so it has been nice to get some good snuggle time in.

The other night I was starting to tell him there was a baby in mommy’s tummy and that a baby was coming to live at Deegan’s house. I am pretty sure he didn’t understand because he pointed to himself and said “baby”. We will keep working on that one. J But Deegan, you will ALWAYS be my baby.

If you ask him where Deegan is or point to him and say “Who is this?” he will point to himself and say “Me!”

He loves his uncle Dylan and talks about “Duey” pretty much every day.

Size 4 shoes (almost to size 5). Size 4 diapers, 12 month pants, 12-18 month tops.

STILL taking 2 naps a day. Deegan, please keep this up until a few months after your sibling is born. Thanks!

And he sleeps great at night. Usually goes to bed between 8:30-9 and sleeps until 7-7:30.

Is not a fan of getting his haircut! Make me nervous for his first dentist appt.

Pretty much lives on waffles, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, juice, fruit snacks, cheese, gold fish and gerber meal cups. He also loves lasagna or any pasta with marinara sauce.

He eats best in the bath tub!

He loves blankets! Doesn’t really have an attachment to just one. He calls them “night nights” and is a little snuggle bug! He snuggles his face in and says “aw or oh”

He has to do up his own buckles in his car seat. He can do the chest clip all on his own but on the crotch one, he can get them lined up and in the hole but needs a little help pushing them in.

Still gives the best OPEN mouth kisses ever. J

The other day at my grandmas house my mom was telling him it was time to go to Deegan’s house and get in the tub. He took off and headed to my grandparents half bath, walked in and looked around, then came back out and said, “where da show?” (shower) I cracked up.

Still not a fan of nursery. Not even a little. We have pretty well decided it is a lost cause. He isn’t going to have much consistency as far as which ward he will go to over the next few months so we aren’t going to push it. Whether that is the best choice or not, its one we have made. It just isn’t worth it to us and we don’t want him totally hate church. We will try again at the beginning of the year or maybe he will just go straight to sunbeams! Ha ha

Only 2 more weeks until I get to stay at home with him full time!!!!!!!!

"You Ride" (Part 2 of vaction post.....)

While we were on vacation, Deegan got to meet his 2nd cousin Trevor. They had a great time playing on this Thomas ride on toy!






I just think these pics are so dang cute!! Trevor was so good to push Deegan back and forth. They both had a great time!


I am in LOVE with this picture!! So cute!


They decided to switch it up and let Deegan push Trevor. It didn't work out quite as well.......

Such cute boys and they loved playing together!

The greasted vacation ever Part 1!

About a month ago, the three of us took a trip to vegas for 5 days. We had no plans, nothing we had to do. It was wonderful! Eric and I both agreed that even though we didn't do anything super exciting, it was probably our favorite vacation. We spent it just the 3 of us and it was great!

This was one of Deegans favorite things to do each day. Hold daddy's finger and walk all the way down the stairs from our condo. It was pretty much adorable!






And there were lots of stairs if you couldn't tell! Funny boy. He sure does love his dad!



Deegan LOVED jumping on this bed. I am pretty sure it was a California King (it was huge!!) and with that bar on the headboard with the mirror, it made for the perfect jumping set up!





Speaking of huge, check out this tub!! Deegan of course had a blast in it. He could have had ten friends over for a tub party! Probably not too appropriate though. ha ha.

More vegas pics coming!!



Cache County Fair

We got to the fair pretty late (thank you fantasy football draft ha ha) so we didn't really do too much. No rides, just hung out at my parents booth and walked around a little.




We did come across this little stow away in Deegans stroller. He doesn't look too thrilled! But it made for a few cute pictures and really, that's all that matters.


Of course we had to walk around the Renegade Sports booth. Deegan loved all of the "bycles" (motorcycles), atv's and utv's.




He is going to be one crazy kid on these when he is older! We didn't get any pics on the dirt bikes because there were always other kids on them. One of which and a really awful mullet. I should have taken a pic of that!

But we still had a good time, hung out with family from both sides and at the end of the night Deegan got a pretty sweet light of stick thing a ma jig. Next year maybe we will attempt to take him to the rodeo!

Are you ready for some football?!

Deegan loves to play with balls. This night we were at my parents house for a hot dog roast with some family that was visiting.


He found this football and was totally loving it! I took tons of pics but most turned out extremely blurry. I wonder why? :)




I even dressed him perfectly for the occasion! The front of hi"Future QuarterBack" (although daddy would probably prefer it to say future "Motocross Champ"....) and I didn't get a pic of the back but it says "Cheerleaders Love Me" ha ha. What? I am sure they do. How could you not?!

He also LOVES the trampoline. My parents have one and he loves to go out and jump and run around on it. It is hilarious. We have one that we are fixing up. It is the older style rectangular one. We just need to get the new mat for it and we are in business!



This is Deegan and his 2nd cousin Rian. I took several pics of them but, alas, they also came out blurry for the most part. Crazy kids don't slow down for nothing!


Phew! All that hard work sure does make you thirsty. Good thing he had a waterboy! (Or should we say watergirl......)

Just Like Daddy!

Deegan has loved putting on our shoes for a while now but I thought this was especially cute when he decided to try on his daddy's boots!


Such a happy little fart!



He is sure hilarious to have around!! Those are big boots to fill but I am sure you will do just fine Deegan.
