August 2022
8.2.22 First Covid vaccine at 9 mo well child visit
Squeaky Dean
SUCH an eater!
8.6-8.7.22 Big weekend!! On 8.6, everyone in our house got >/= 9 hours of sleep! (Dean 7p-6a, Hayden 8p-6a, mom/dad 9p-6a). Then, on 8.7, Sam and I had our first night away from the littles 😳 for an LSD concert at Big Top
8.7.22 Consistent stander! So fun to watch him practice standing with intention! 8-10 STEPS today several times!! He's cautious but wants it!
Throws Canyon's ball really well! Fetch with Canyon, following Canyon with his ball
Loves the big bouncy ball to bounce-pass!
When he smiles so big he wrinkles his nose 😍
When he holds whatever is in his hand up to your mouth and squealy giggles when you pretend (or for real) eat it 😜
8.8.22 We're calling it: Dean walks!!
Lots of kneeling 👍
WILD GUY. He has found his confidence and wants to take on everything!
L9VES banging things (i.e. empty cups) on tables! 🤣🤩
Loves to (try to) eat play-doh
8.16.22 First unsolicited open water crossings (6 steps)
SECOND TOOTH. Front bottom surfacing
Loves green beans, noodles, frozen fruit, crunchies, kinda anything. Has started to put select foods in the cup holder on his tray 🙈
8.21.22 More time walking than crawling. So many open water crossings!
Power squats to stand. And standing from sitting 🤗
Pointing!
Such an explorer
Has been an absolute dream to put down for bed. Getting up once on average, usually between 3-5am, for a bottle. Sometimes just needs a pacifier to go back to sleep.
Nodding his head! Yes, yes, yes. With aggressive shaking his head, no, no, no
LOVES to share his pacifier, popsicle, food, etc.
Always playing under the kitchen table
Watching him choose between his pacifier in one hand and his crunchie in the other hand 🤣
Soooo many videos this month... not enough pictures :(
September 2022
9.2.22 Climbing up Hayden's green chair and stairs 🙃🙈
9.2.22 First trip to Lake Superior Zoo! With Grandpa, Emily and Kya
Nods his head - yes, yes, yes!
Ball ball ball (bah, bah, bah). Momma Momma – seems intentional!
LOVES wandering around with something in each hand. Current favorites are Hayden's crocs
Seems very miserable with teething.. diarrhea and sore butt, quick to cry, wanting to be held 😢 CHOMPS on the lollipops with frozen fruit. His two upper eye teeth are the culprit 😔
Throwing all foods and balls and things
Gets in a Destructor Dean mode and cannot be redirected!
9.10.22 First time in shoes 🤣😘 Struggle! GR Riverfest!
Ramy guy.
Getting all 4 top teeth, maybe?
LOVES shutting doors haha!
Definitely knows and using the word, "ball" FIRST WORD. Also, ma-ma-ma, da-da-da, etc.
Hand signing for MILK! And MORE 👏🥰
9.10.22 LOVES kicking balls and balloons around the house
OBSESSED with Canyon and rolling around on Canyon's beds 🤣 🤣
Loves the Roku remote
Throwing everything
Will STAND up in his counter chairs and must be buckled, the lil daredevil
When he peers around corners or other things to see "what's that?"
9.24.22 When he is just walking around, swinging his arms
This kid is soooooooo fun!!!
Ramy times before bedtime and becomes clear about pacifier time
Definitely head down and butt up, trying to roll!!
High-fives! 🤚
