9 months old!


This boy is 9 months OLD!  Unbelievable.  It seems like such a short amount of time, and yet he's grown so much!
  He shouts "MAMAMAMA" a lot and we're pretty sure he means it.  He's mobile now, "crawling" isn't the right word, but he scoots along with the help of his toes and elbows.
Mostly he scoots after me, following me from room to room to room. . . .


 He loves this frog, mostly the eyes:)

And then there's the HAIR!

It is out of control so today he had his first ever hair cut!


I just did a trim, not too much, but what a difference it makes!


So, our big little baby is growing up!

My baby is 6!

It seems so surreal to think that six years ago this little boy was born, making me and Dustin parents!  
We had tried in vain for 6 long years to get pregnant so his arrival was much anticipated.  He was worth the wait.  
Damen is thoughtful, imaginative, a great big brother, and very inquisitive.  
He loves to build (Legos), swim, go to the beach, build forts, and play Lego Batman on the Wii.  
He will start 1st grade in this year!  
He still takes naps almost every day, not sure how that will go over with all day school.  
He tells us when it's past his bedtime, this kid likes his sleep!  
He loves fruits, vegetables, berries, and anything else as long as it has a side of ketchup, but not potatoes, no no no potatoes!
He tells us he loves us all day and if forced to will give hugs.  
He likes his personal space, don't sit next to him on the couch.
We love him so much, treasuring each day with this big kid.
Birthday morning present, Cat woman!
We went out to dinner that night, then gave him a bouncy ball (from Mason) and a new scooter when we got home.  

THE Lego party was on Saturday.  
The kids guessed how many legos were in a jar, played pin the head on the lego guy, and grab it with legos. 
The had a lego cake, ice cream, oreos, and per Damen's request, flavored licorice.



Damen had a great time and got lots of new Legos to keep him busy.


Oh how we love this kid.
This "big" 6 year old asked us if he goes to High School now that he's six!
