the events of the day

In between conference sessions we went for a bike ride to Sonic for lunch. mmm... it was good. Dennis rode in his bike trailer and loved it! Though, he was kinda out of it after we got home...

Dennis was sitting up on the bed and fell over onto his knees! He stayed in the crawling position for quite a while...

I love his dimples.

Dennis has this thing where he loves to have something touching his face... Often, I find that Dennis will hide under something and just be totally content to lay there kicking his legs and laughing. And, he also loves this blanket that auntie fawn made for him... put the two together and Dennis is a nut.

Disregard the fact that I am on the phone while filming this. I tried to make as little noise as possible while still participating in the conversation. I can't believe how active he is getting.

Don't miss a single second.

I feel like I have to watch Dennis ALL the time... otherwise, I might miss something. He is changing so fast. And, when I only have a couple of hours with him everyday... I don't even have time to blink. I love how he is sticking his bum in the air! Almost got it!
He likes to let everyone know that he is working hard... I think he takes after me with this one. I don't want anyone to not notice if I happen to be working out really hard. :)

Our 'walker' walker

So, the other day I was wasting time on the computer... like I, all too often, do... and I heard the walker zooming accross the floor like someone was pushing Dennis. I turned around, and to my surprise Dennis was running accross the room in his walker! All of a sudden he figured out how to make his legs work. After many attempts at getting this on film, I finally got him to walk a little. I love how he waddles back and forth!

a little backwards

Watch this video. Dennis is learning how to scoot but just a little bit backwards.

updates from Dennis

Hi Grandma and Grandpa, Nonnie and Papa!
I'm getting used to this eating thing. I love my carrots.... but sometimes I like to blow raspberries through them. Its really funny to see the looks on daddy's face when it goes everywhere. I wish I could already walk. For some reason, my feet just won't do what I want them to. I'm pretty good at standing though.

My next step is going to be to try 'no hands'. Way better than crawling... who needs to crawl when you can just walk. Tummy time is so frustrating because it hurts my neck and I want to see everything that's going on. You know what I mean? You would get frustrated too if you had to lay on your belly all day.

My mommy puts these funny hats on me and says that I look cute.

Hey, have you ever tried eating your toes? They are pretty tasty. If you can't reach yours, you can try mine sometime if you want. The offer is open any time.

Well, I sure miss you guys. Love you tons!

Bye,

Dennis
