Dallen Lately...

{Wrapped like a monkey}
My favorite view of Dallen by far is fresh out of the tub, smelling sweet with wet eye lashes :) Dallen has been sitting on the potty each night for a few minutes before baths, just to get used to the feeling, and last week he actually went pee-pee in the toilet. He was so happy and I was SO proud!! He loved getting his big boy potty sticker :)
{Main Street in Mesa}
Dallen is HI-larious and no one makes him laugh harder, than himself!! He is such a little copy cat. He loves to do what everyone else is doing, not always a good thing ;)
{Dallen is ALL-BOY}
Playing outside on a gorgeous January day. He loves to run around and play like a little boy. There are a few things that Dallen does that just look so boy, like when he puts his hands in his pockets and when he runs. Also, Dallen just learned how to give a "thumbs up" and he thinks it is the coolest thing in the world!! Such a boy.
{Fly like an eagle}
Dallen has been missing kids club so bad since they did away with it while Santa was in town. He was so happy to get his (free) weekly carousel ride back and so was I :)
{Around the house...}
Because I wouldn't let him out in public with that hair!! Dallen has earned the new nickname "crazy hair" around the house because without gallons of goop, it stands straight on top of his head :)
{Sleeping babe}
In the time Dallen spent being sick, and sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed at night, we quickly learned that Dallen, TALKS in his sleep. He talks about all things from hamburgers to not knowing if he is upstairs or down. It is hilarious and he has no idea he's doing it :) And a note about the picture above, Dallen has finally given up the binky, YAY!!!
{Lunch at, IKEA?!?}
Dallen loves to go to the store with Mommy. Every day he asks if we can go to "the store". We spent almost 2 hours at Ikea last week and didn't even buy anything but lunch, he's just like his Momma, loves to shop :)
{Dallen, surprisingly reverent at church}
Dallen has become my little singer, just what I always hoped for!! In this picture he's singing, during the hymns with his Book of Mormon, "Nephi, Nephi" :) At night he sings along with me to I am a Child of God and his favorite request Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. He comes home from nursery on Sundays singing Hokey Pokey,I'm a Little Teapot, Book of Mormon Stories and many more!!
{"Take my picture Mom"}
Dallen has so much attitude for a 2 year old. One of my favorites lately is when he really doesn't want to do something he firmly presses his pointer finger into the palm of his other hand three times as he says "EVER, EVER, EVER!!" Hahaha, he's lucky it's too adorable to get him in trouble!
{Freestone Park}
Dallen is saying such grown up things that surprise me at every turn. He responds to questions like "I have no idea Mom" or he'll say to me "you look like/do that sometimes". My favorite is that he's started saying "let's do that Wednesday" or "I did that yesterday" or "I did that Friday" when he really has no clue what it really means :) I just love all the time I am getting to spend with this sweet little love of my life!!
