My little Beethoven

Well Eric played the piano for 7 1/2 years when he way younger and now Dayton has picked it up. A couple of days ago We sat him up there and this was what he composed.


I think it's pretty good!!!!!!

ON THE MOVE............

Well while I have been busy so has Dayton. Overnight he went from an "army crawl" to a don't mess with me im on a roll crawl.... so much for a clean house! LOL It's great to see whats going to happen next. I totally don't want him to grow up at all I just love to see his new personalities come out and to see what is coming up. Dayton has come so far in 8 1/2 months and it flew by like a flash.
Here are some pics of the past few weeks.

He didnt waste anytime at all either Brianna woke Steve up at 4:30 got to the hospital at 5:00 and had him at 6:36.They say the more you have the faster they come. We all had a long morning but it is such a miracle to see a birth happening. I experienced (felt it) it with Dayton and now saw it with Braydon.

6 months and Growing..................

I have been busy for the past couple of days and haven't been able to post about Dayton's 6th month appointment. He is growing like a weed and keeps me on my feet all the time. Can't wait until he starts walking!!!!! Like i always say he is such a blessing and i am so thankful that i am able to spend my whole day with him so i don't miss a beat. He is the best thing that has every happened to me (besides Eric).
Weight - 18 lbs 9oz (70%) Height - 27.25th inches (75%) Head 44 1/2cm (65%). The two nurses came in and double timed him with two shots at the same time, it was just oh so sad. I can't stand needles at all and i couldn't imagine a little baby getting a shot :(. Other than that Dayton is doing great and they all think he is adorable!!!! LOL
The day he was born


6 months later

Dani is having a BABY....... EXCITING!!!!!

I went ahead and changed the title so everyone doesnt think its me..... LOL
I was very excited this past week to have me cousin in town from Virginia for a few days. She is such a sweet and wonderful young woman and i love her to death! Danielle is 17 weeks pregnant and due in January and i just can't wait. Being a mother for me is so wonderful i feel like it has changed my life in more ways than one. Dayton has brought such great joy to Eric and I that there's not even words to explain. It flys by in a blink of and eye. I just hope the Dani will enjoy each and every experience she gets with the new bundle of joy. I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!!!!!

Boy or Girl???? - finds out September 3rd

I did have alittle spider scare when i opened my car and this HUGE i mean HUGE spider came out EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! All and all it was an AWESOME trip and we had a great time.
(Little Talbot here we come......)


(Dayton is having such a blast)


(He loves his DADDY)


(Faith even had fun!!!!!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We did make the decision not to try the beach this time which was totally ok with us because we were leaving the next night for the BEACH HOUSE. Everyone is very greatful for Eric's grandmother each summer she rents a beach house in Vilano Beach so we can all have a much needed vacation. Eric, Dayton and I stayed a few nights came home and worked a few nights and then went back. THANKS GRANDMA DUREN!!!!!!

(up on the tippy top)

(Dayton had a great time at the beach time he even stayed more than 10 min on the beach)

My Rolly Polly and the EYE

Since my last post a lot of things have been going on. I hope i can sum up everything in my next few posts.
Well My little Doodle Bug is rolling all over the place. I think its funny because he hated being on his stomach so he would just roll to his back...... now he's all over the place. You leave him for a second and he is across the room!!! LOL

(he had been on his back for 2 seconds and 2 min later he did a full circle around the room)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HIS UGLY EYE INFECTION
Well about a month ago Dayton's blocked tear duck (which he has had since he was born) managed to get a bit worse. One Saturday morning we woke up to an adorably cute one eyed boy. Luckily up until now Dayton hasn't had any infections or sickness so of course being the new parents that we are......Eric checks out the computer and i hit the books and in the end we took him up to Solantic oh and FYI they don't take babies less than 6 months, but since we were there the doctor allowed it THANK GOODNESS!!!!! In the end we walk out of there with a $40.00 dollar bill and a prescription for some eye drops.
Try not to laugh

He was such a Trooper

Camp Weekend at Ft. Clinch

Dayton had his first camping experience this weekend! My family went with Eric's brothers family to Ft Clinch for just one night! Despite being way to young to camp Dayton actually seem to enjoy being out there and did really good (by good meaning no crying)! Saturday morning we packed and took Dayton on his first beach outing which lasted all of about 10 minutes (little to young for that as well)! All and all we had a great time!
waiting for Eric to set up camp
finished setting up....living it up with the fan!

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER

I’m so glad summer is finally here. We have a lot to look forward to with the beach house in July but we have also been really busy too. My little man had an appt last week were he received a shot :( (Very sad) but they did let me know Dayton is doing great and he is 14 lbs and 12 oz. Well so far this summer we have been having a fun time hanging out at Mimi’s pool, Dayton loves the water!!!! The last time we were there we celebrated Ty-Ty's (Tyler) second birthday. We also went to KeyStone Heights to Brianna and Steve’s lake house rental for the day and had a blast. Unfortunately we didn't take pictures of us on the Jet Ski or Eric Wakeboarding but here are some others......

Video

For the past few days Dayton has been in talking mode. It's so fun waiting and wondering what he will do next. I just had to get the camera out and get a cute video of him right before we left to go shopping. I think that he is going to be a shopper just like his mommy.
So i know that he is my son but he is just the cutest baby i have ever seen!!! LOL he has gotten so chunky his little bird legs are now big rolls and those cheeks i could eat them up. I just am so happy he is ours he keeps us entertained even when he is sleeping!!!!! He is really just yelling in this video but its so cute!!!
