Driving

While we were waiting for Grandma to pick up Dorian this morning, he decided he was big enough to drive. :) Just a cute morning picture of him I thought I would share. It was 8 am and he is bright eyed and bushy tailed!

9 month birthday!

Well, the time has officially flown by!!! Here are some cute pictures that I took over the 12th and 13th for his 9 month birthday. I love the one with his dragon in the background, they have almost the same expression. That is his new face. We call it froggy face. He does that and then says mum mum mum over and over.

The other pictures were taken when we were playing in his room and in his car seat. He is such a happy baby! That is usually the first thing everyone says when they meet him, wow, he's such a happy baby (well right after they say how cute he is of course). He loves naked time (as you can see) and his room is great because he can pretty much roam around in there and not get hurt.

So here's to 3 more months before the really big birthday! Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

Las Vegas

Dorian, Mom, Dad and I all went to Las Vegas for a convention. It was four days long! It was also Dorian's first time on a plane. On the way there he played the whole time, flirting with all the ladies and peekaboo with some men. It was really funny. No crying or fussing. On the way back he fussed a little bit because we were stuck on the runway for 40 minutes, very boring. Other than that he fell asleep for the whole ride! He nursed both times on take off, so there was no problems with his ears not popping. I took a picture of us flying over a snow covered Nevada.

After 3 days of seminars, we finally got to look around a bit. He liked watching the fountains at the Bellagio. He liked it better with his ears covered because the music was so loud. We watched 2 fountain shows though. It was Chinese New Years, so Las Vegas was all decorated! The Bellagio also had beautiful gardens in the atrium decorated for the occasion, that is the other picture.

updates

Well, it's been a while, so here are some new pictures. The first is the Munchkin with some really nice bed head. I couldn't get his hair to lay flat, no matter what (no I didn't try to stick it down with spit). I put him down for a nap after a shower so his hair was still a little damp and it dried straight up! The other picture is of him eating pizza crust, a new favorite. He just gums the heck out of it! Yum yum...

Superbowl Sunday

We went to Uncle Kenny's (my father's son from another marriage) house yesterday to watch the superbowl and visit with their little son and 3 week old daughter. Kodi (their son) is learning how to give hugs and kisses and pretty much smothered Dorian with them. It was really cute.

Kenny also had a wallet full of fun things to play with, like this credit card! Charging it up already. Dorian likes crawling around on the carpet there because there is lots of open space and the carpet is long and soft. He sits around and just feels it for quite a while, soft stuff!

working out those tiny abs

Dorian likes all electrical appliances, remotes etc, as I have shown before. Well a HUGE favorite is my little stepping exercise maching. He likes to feel the knobby surface and likes us to pushe the petals up and down. He thinks it's great fun. He has drooled so much on it, I'm surprised I don't slip off when I use it. Very funny. That is the first thing he goes for when he gets put on the ground or bed.

Yeehaw?

Here we are at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant to eat Pho. I think I got addicted to this

when I got pregnant, and it never really went away. I'm lucky that Karl likes it also. Dorian decided that he likes Daddy's hat. He kept taking it off and trying to get it back on Karl's head. Then when Karl had it on, he would take it off again so he could play with it. Actually more like gnaw on the rim, but hey. Yummy hat. This is where he tried his first noodle also. :)
