LEARN and GROW

Dallen is learning so fast!! He is trying so hard to be a big boy. He has the right attitude to want to learn to do things on his own. I am so proud and yet so sentimental of each new moment. I love this boy with all my heart and I love watching him grow :)

Dallen has been standing on his strong legs for quite sometime now but lately he wants to do it all by himself. With the support of the jungle gym mat, he did it!! Mark was holding on and let go for the picture and he stood all by himself.Dallen is also struggling to sit up. At every waking moment he is working on his ab muscles. Every time we lay him on his back he immediately flexes and tries his very hardest to sit up. He just wants to be vertical. With all this practice, I have a feeling he will be sitting up all by himself in no time at all.Last, but not least, Dallen shed his first real tears. It was one of the saddest moments of my life, but I just had to snap a picture. It was his first real, sad cry with real tears and everything. My heart went out to him and I will probably remember this moment forever!! I love my little boy :)

Yes, we "showed" him a picture. HAHA! We accidentally rubbed his little rash on his neck and I guess it hurt him :( So sad.

what a CUTIE!! Looks like he's grown some more hair! I remember Stone's first tears, and I felt the same! Now Stone can bring them on at any time.

Oh, my baby Dallen! Don't grow up too fast without me there! Next time I see you you will be sitting and crawling! It makes me so sad to see the real tears on your face. Was he surprised by them at all?

I'm not sure what his reaction was, I just hope he doesn't realize the power he has over us now with those!! We were like putty in his hands when we saw those sad drops of water.
