18 Months going on 18 Years old!!!

Our little man turned 18 months today. Still our baby, but acting like a teenager. He loves to try and play XBOX with his dad, especially when gets to wear the headset while online. He's also discovered the telephone and that people will actually talk on the other end. So now he goes and hide and pretends to have conversations with people on the phone (when no one is actually there). I think he hides so we don't think he's on the phone, which is something he might do when he gets his first girlfriend.

These past 18 months have gone to fast, it seems like everyday, he grows bigger and smarter. He is the most perfect son you could ever ask for and brings happiness to everyone. He has his 18 month check up on the 20th and we will keep you posted on that. Hopefully he reached the big 20 pounds, by me guess is that he is still 19.

New Year's Day

New Years Day was low key. We spent the day with just the three of us relaxing at home and not doing much. We watched some of the Mummers Parade, but is it me or do they all look the same. Derek thinks the same thing, they all dance the same exact way. I don't get it. After relaxing all day we went to my grandmoms because every year she makes pork with sauerkraut. It was delicious!

Christmas Day


For starters, we are the worst bloggers in the world, but here is our latest blog starting with Christmas. We had Christmas Eve dinner with Grams, Poppy and Uncle Darryl and after exchanging gifts with them, we went to church at 7 with the Dawson Family.

Christmas Day was quiet. Derek had work, but was able to stop home for a little bit and watch Lil Derek open up his gifts. Later in the day we went to Great Grandmom and Great Pop Pop Dawson's to visit and then headed to Uncle Craig and Aunt Sandy's to join the Rambo's for dinner.

Derek loved all of his gifts and loved his new drum set, chair, inch worm, keyboard and microphones. He plays with all of his gifts and most of the time, doesn't know which one to play with.

He also enjoyed his new vacuum, since he is always trying to use ours.
