Dayton Family

Is it picture time again?

But why should I have to look at the camera? My profile is equally cute

 Song break...

Huh? Take my hand down from my head? But that's part of the song!

 Mom says "good enough," whatever that means. 

Though now aged 21 months, these pictures are of the 18month buddy boy in an old outfit of Jaydon  & Jyson (good thing I kept it for 10 years!!). This kid has aged so much in the last couple months, it's incredible!
-Nursery? No problem. See ya Mom. 

-He talks up a STORM, and it's daily getting more discernible to the outside world :)

-He has come.into.his.own. Meaning, he is a mini powerhouse of all sorts of energy! He thoroughly enjoys tackling anyone and everyone to the ground, climbing up backs while grunting and laughing, sitting on tummies and jumping up & down, etc...

-He eats most everything...as long as HE does the feeding. Otherwise, plug your ears & prepare for the screaming to commence

-He has the cutest little munchkin voice. He says "yeth" with a lisp and when a new person comes into any room anywhere he waves and says in his high voice, "HI!" with great gusto.

-He can sing/say all the words to "I Love to See the Temple"...if you have your encoding ears switched on

-Daddy's arrival each night is his favorite time of day, bar none. He's usually sitting in his high chair, eating & he shakes from side to side, yelling, "HI! getting more and more excited until the hero walks over to return the love.

-He does a great job saying "pease" and "dank you" even when snatching a toy/book/piece of clothing that may or may not be yours.

-He finally enjoys bath time...and drinking the water. That's when the joy ends.

-He learned how to climb out of the crib/play pen so now he sleeps on his little mattress on the ground (half the time I find him on the ground in the morning, cuddled up with his blanky)

-He tipped over the big ol' 4 drawer dresser singlehandedly recently during nap time with nary a scratch. Angel visit, I'm thinking.

-He's taught Ari to do all the things she didn't figure out on her own...climb on the table, the counters, out of the bed, push over the baby gates, open doors with the baby doorknob-things on them, run like the dickens when Mommy & Daddy call, find the chocolate chips for an after-breakfast feast, open the fridge, grab & shove whatever into your mouth, push the spacebar on the computer to get it to stop/start whatever is playing (music, conference talks, Dave Ramsey podcasts...) so Mommy will stop preparing dinner & come 'play', unload pantry shelves at amazing speeds, open the chest freezer to get out the 'staw-bewies' to then rip & devour, color & color & color on, oh, everything...

-He is such a happy boy and so joyfully mischievous, it's easy to forgive and love this guy.
