Making Memories

For the first time ever, we let Daddy shave Dallen's head...and he looks SO cute!! D made his surprise face when he saw himself in the mirror and said "cute" when he saw the pictures :) Check 'em out:BEFORE
DURING
AFTER
Some other things I want to remember about Dallen, having just hit 22 months old:
*He loves to sing Jesus wants me for a sun"beep"
*His opposites are opposite: he mixes up off and on, up and down, etc.
*When he wants to sing "do as i'm doing", he does jazz hands way down low and says "highers"
*My picky eater, eats what he wants, when he wants, and there is no telling him otherwise!!
*Just the other day he started repeating "thank you's" in prayers
*He now says "you're welcome" after saying "thank you"
*On that note, he is so polite and reminds you to say "thank you" by saying "your welcome", and says "excuse you" when necessary ;)
*He knows most of his friends and family members by name and picture
*He loves to pose for pictures now (although he rarely poses long enough to capture it), but only if he can see them immediately after
*He can count to eight, he just gets there differently, 2,5,8...??
*He thinks everything is blue, but I think his favorite color is actually orange cause thats his favorite marker
*Every since we got back from CA, he spontaeously starts saying "and then, Disneyland, and then, Mickey Mouse, and then, Disneyland, and then, skateboard, and then shoot hoops, and then..."
*He imitates my sad voice and says "Mommy sad" and gives me kisses
*He loves to talk on the phone now, but fully believes you can see him!!
*He is adorable as ever, and the cutest, most energetic, Momma's boy I know :)

Sooo cute, my favorite is how he counts to 8, adorable!!!
I cannot believe how well he sat for his haircut. Owen burrows his head into my chest so I cannot see his face/able to cut his bangs.

I forgot: when I say "clean up" he says "everybody, everywhere" like the song :)

holy cow, this kid has grown up SO much since i last saw him! sounds like he is talking great! AND, awesome that he doesn't put up a stink for the hair cut. Stone STILL does! he is overdue for another hair cut, because i hate the process!

I am so jealous that D was so good during his cut!! You'd think my boys would be used to it now but they still dread haircut time :(
ps. LOVE him!
