First we have some pictures from around the house. Denver has been a little explorer who wants to see and try everything new.
Yogurt. Remember to lick the lid!
Reading a book.
Playing guitar with Dad. He has a pick in his hand, I'm pretty sure that was right before I snatched it from him as he was about to stuff it in his mouth!
Book and Mom's water. Put them together and he's learning to multi-task!
I made one of our drawers in the kitchen be strictly Denver appropriate activities so he can be in the kitchen with me and not be attempting to get in the trash the whole time!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Playing at the park! The light this night was so beautiful, he just looks like such a pretty baby.
Not sure how he feels about the grass.
I towel dried his hair one night and this is what happened. I think it's about time for a haircut!
First Spaghetti night
He always crosses his ankles while he eats. Even when he was tiny, I would be nursing him and his little ankles would be crossed.
He wouldn't hold still long enough for a non-blurry picture, but I think he enjoyed himself.
Box tunnel! Who needs toys when you have boxes and bubble wrap!
I need to eat every last drop!
Utah Trip
Erik had to go to a conference in Louisiana over spring break, so Denver and I flew to Utah for some fun at Grandma's!
Snuggling with my sister Dani. He never snuggles like this! I guess it was a hard morning of traveling!
After lunch at Cafe Rio we headed over to see Grandma and Pa Nielson in Pleasant Grove. It was a beautiful day!
Sorry about the weird light from the window. Playing with Grandma.
Back home in Logan, rub a dub dub 3 kids in the tub!
Cousin lunch time! These two are almost exactly a year apart (just a couple of weeks difference) They liked eating and watching cartoons and playing together. Chasing Cache around really made him start walking while we were there.
Two boys on Grandpa's lap.
After nap snuggles with his Great Grandma (my mom's mom)
Heading back on the airplane. Luckily on the way home we had an extra seat blocked out for him so we had a lot more room to wiggle and play.
After we touched back down in Oregon.
This little love slept for half of the flight home for me.
Back at home with Dad (who missed his baby terribly) we splurged on the merry go round at the mall which was so worth it for these pictures! He had a blast!
First Easter Basket. Last year we bought him a toy dump truck hoping it would be incentive for him to come into this world a little early, but the bribe did not work, so this is his official first Easter.
11 months old! I don't know how it happened, I think it was when I put him in shorts and a t-shirt with his hair all done up that he now looks like a kid, not just a baby. So big!
Pooh bear is always a good smile incentive.
Easter Dinner
Apparently we wore him out on his first Easter. During prayers he snuggled up on my belly and fell asleep.
Happy boy
