good gracious....I'm behind

 I can't believe that it's been nearly 6 weeks since I've blogged. What's my excuse? I don't have a good one. It's not like we've been playing outside in the snow or sunshine! We've had neither of those! I'm so done with winter. For real. Like, if I was Christian Bale I'd be throwing explicit language around and telling winter that we're done professionally.

Remember how I said I was going to do a post updating y'all about Dalton? Yep, over a month ago? I even took all these pictures off of my phone a month ago to use in this post. I'm lame. Oh well, I'm going to post them anyway, because um he's cute and deserves his own blog post. I'll have to come back and do a good ole February post next (ha, hopefully not 6 weeks from now)

Dalton loves to escape from diapering and/or while I attempt to clothe him (how dare I, really?!)

He enjoys some nude playing.

I love when these two are sweet and soft together. This was one of the 3 times in the past couple months he was sick. Just cuddling Addie watching Word World. I like them :) He says "Addie" and it's so cute!

Doesn't he look happy?...

Poor baby. This was the day after Addie's birthday. I took him in because he was acting miserable but that was his only symptom. No fever or anything. An hour before, I noticed his eye looked pink so I panicked. Sure enough, pink eye...AND and ear infection! I felt awful for him. He was so miserable. What a trooper he'd been all weekend too. He still thought the crinkle paper on the Dr's table was fun though.

Not much keeps him down for long. He went from crawling to pulling himself up to getting into things in a blink of an eye! This is his favorite drawer.

My sick buddy after waking up from some snuggles with mom.

 Oh, and he outgrew his infant seat. At least, what's considered "safe" for it. So, we upgraded him.

I wasn't about to put my son in this seat though, without a little makeover....

 Ta-da!! Thanks, Rit dye. 

Much more manly. ;)

 My mom went to see my grandpa in Sacramento, CA and we did some facetime on the iPad so he could see Dalton. My grandpa's middle name is Dalton, after his mother's Maiden name.

I'm sure at age 90 this technology is baffling. 

maybe this is why I haven't blogged. Dalton has had 3 bad sicknesses in the past 2 months. Round 2 was rough. Thank heavens for antibiotics. Hey, southern friends...did I mention next winter I'm coming to live with you??

What mom??

He's entering the destructive stage...but he's so cute. Good thing!

 He FINALLY got his first tooth a few weeks ago. 

We went with papa Steve and Grammy Dawn to get him his first ice cream cone :)

This is what he thought of peach sorbet....come on mom, give me brownies on the moon or something!

He did, however, love gumming his way through the cone.

Since getting his first tooth, he's fully embraced big people food and LOVES meat. I have no idea how he chews it with just that one tiny tooth lol. 

He also had his first hair cut. Which is funny, because it's already almost back to being as long as it was 6 weeks ago. The front was always in his eyes and the sides were kinda shaggy so I just wanted a little trim.

 Before 

 (nobody gives me snacks during my hair cuts, just sayin)

After! I love my handsome boy!

So much has happened since all of these pictures were taken. I have a whole bunch from February, including Valentine's Day and a fun field trip. Oh, and I should mention that last week Dalton got STREP. Yep, no lie. I wish I could ban Addie from preschool or something. Knock on wood for a healthy rest of the winter. Next month, this chubby sweet boy turns ONE!!!
