Big Boy

Our little Denver is growing up! The baby days are slowly fading and a little boy is beginning to emerge! While it is amazing to see these changes and so fun to watch him grow....a little piece of me misses my little baby! However, I am continually amazed at how much is really going on in that little mind and body of his! While he is still holding our hands to walk and still a pretty quiet little boy, he understands so much and knows exactly what he wants! I am realizing that this is difficult for both of us!!! His wants are expressed through whines and grunts, sometimes fussing, and my patience is being tested!:) I'm sure a lot of moms out there can relate! Let's get some words going Denver so you can express yourself in other ways!:) Despite it all, our days are joy-filled and delightful. I'm beginning to miss the warm weather and can't believe I have to put a coat, socks, and shoes on when we leave the house now! No more bare feet!!! Here are a few pics of the one we love.

The simple things: climbing into wherever he can fit!

I'm a big boy - I am starting to eat with a bowl and spoon! And I love cereal just like daddy!

Another favorite place to crawl into.

He loves looking out the window. One morning all three of us were looking out and here comes a squirrel right in front of us on the lawn! And about 3 or 4 birds. Denver was pointing and grunting sooo excited! The little things!

Another cereal pic - not sure why this one's down here and the other one's up there...oh well!

I'm excited to get some Fall pics taken of D with some pumpkins and harvesting with Grandpa!!! I'll try to get them up soon...I'm not quite back in the routine yet!

When the house is quiet........

......you know they're up to no good!!!

Halle and Denver playing piano together. So sweet! Denver and Daddy playing a favorite game at the bathroom door. Enjoy!

2 Months Later.....

I can't believe I just up and stopped blogging for almost two months! Once Steve got back from Caravan it was go go go for us and *blink* it's Sept. 10! Frequently I would think - boy I should post a blog - but for some reason I just felt overwhelmed because so much time had passed so I wouldn't do it! Now here we are - Denver is nearly 14 months, school has started back up, my piano lessons are up and going (13 students and loving it!), and CHAOS starts next Wed! So it's time I get back in gear and start posting much more often!

I can't even begin to post pics/videos of the last two months - so here are some recent pictures of the boy we love. He is so silly and such a little sweetheart! No walking yet, but he's getting closer! He's got a fake laugh that makes me die laughing every time. You will see it in the videos. He's just simply the best. We loves him more than words can tell.

He loves picking my flowers. I have so many I don't mind anymore.

Ok - I did not put this post-it on his back. I came into the room and there it was.

Denver's friend Halle came to play. There's a cute video I will post of the music they made.:)

This is how I'm able to clean the bathroom when D's awake!

I taught D how to go down the stairs. He loves going up but would always try to go head-first down, so I taught him to turn around and go on his tummy! It's one of his favorite things to do -that and throw things down the stairs.

And this would be how Denver feels about food....FEED ME!

Sweet Halle. Jess this pic is SOOO sweet!!!

Some more piano playing buds. We love Halle!

D loves his drum! And being naked!

Last, my favorite pic. We took 4 of 5 pics like this - I was holding the camera and said 1-2-3 -CHEESE. Each picture turned out like this - D smiling perfectly. I love my little sweetheart!
