No No!

Feeding Moose...one of his favorite things to do!
Helping rake leaves. Fall finally hit Carlsbad and a week or so later winter hit with a snow storm!




Learning to use a spoon is so much fun, but so messy!

We just got back from out Thanksgiving vacation in Kansas with my family. Dathan had a great time playing with Mady and getting spoiled by Grandparents. He can VERY clearly say "no" and uses it frequently while waving his finger back and forth at you. He throws tantrums and particularly hates getting his diaper or clothing changed. He is "on the go" as usual and talking more everyday. A few of the words he says that we understand: mama, daddy, ball, no, "mo" for more, tickle (the way he says this word is just adorable and at the same time he says it he will tickle you), "ba" for bananas (his favorite food), "bow" for book, and he is also trying to make some animal sounds. We get so tickled at him when acts out the finger motions to children songs, tries to jump (his feet don't leave the ground, but he thinks he has done something magnificent), dances, or the way he giggles when being chased or tickled. He is working on learning to climb, so I just wait for the day I find him on top of the counter or out of the crib.
