1st Haircut = DISASTER

Dan Michael's first haircut was not what is was cracked up to be. We looked forward to great pictures and taking home some precious curls. We got neither. He was terrified of the whole experience. He screamed and cried like never before. Dan had him in a bear hug while held his head straight so the barber (Francis) could give him a trim. It ended up not being a trim b/c Francis had no choice but to just cut when he had an opportunity. Dan Michael is going to soon turn into cousin It because we may never ever take him for another hair cut.

Wow has this blog been neglected...

I'm very sorry to all of my blog followers that I have let it go for so long with out an update. Let me take some time to try and catch you up. Where do I start...

As of today my little guy is approaching 15 months. He is very much a character and a very happy baby! Dan Michael has still not decided to walk. He takes 2-3 steps then launches to whatever he is in need of but will NOT walk. He uses all his push toys to RUN, yes RUN around the house but still isn't ready to walk. Its really funny because we feel as if he chooses not to walk because he doesn't want to start day care. Once he's a steady walker then he gets to start Cub Corner Tuesday and Thursdays. Dan said he's going to look awfully funny crawling around high school, we'll see.

Dan Michael weighed in at 22 lbs, 3 oz and 30 inches tall at one years old. He's pretty average in size. He's also been blessed to be a very healthy man. Besides a couple of colds here and there he's had no major issues.

Dan Michael is a talker! Not sure where he got that from??? He says so many words, da-daa, ma-ma. nae-nae, bird, paul, mow-mow (mollie), bug, plenty more. He also repeats just about anything you ask him to say. He know his sounds for the tiger, cow, monkey..
I'm not sure if others are impressed with his vocab but we are. DMC 3 also loves books! He constantly asking for book..book...book. His favorite shows are Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny and Special Agent Oso. He's starting to show interest in Sesame Street too.

I guess that covers is all..
I'll post photos from the last couple of months so you can see him grow!

ENJOY!

Sand Destin 2009

Sand Destin 2009 was a great trip. This year we rented a 5 bedroom house right on the beach. There were the usual suspects, Paul, Ann, Patrick, Colin, Chris, Jess, Layla, Micah, Dan, Me, and Dan Michael. Then we had so guests that rotated in through the week, Bill, Erin and Zack Schultz, Aunt Kathy, Lizzy, and Famous Amos. Our late nights were accompanied by many The Archer Family, The Landry Family, The Charbonnet's and others. We had loads of fun and created many memories.
Dan Michael was a trooper. He did fairly well on the ride up with the help of Amy and a DVD player. Once there he was great. He loved, loved, loved the beach. We pitched a large tent in the mornings and put everything he could ever need under it. We had a pool, his chair for lunch and snacks, we had toys, we had plenty of food and snacks for our hungry man. Dan Michael was referred to as the Sea Turtle as fast as he was placed down on the sand he crawled straight to the water. He spent the whole day on the beach, morning to evening. We were blessed that he enjoyed so much
