Dane- 9 months (39 weeks)

(Here's what I typed up a month ago when he was 8 months and never did a post!)  Dane is crawling now!! He also has his two bottom teeth!! He is saying ma ma, da da, and making the ba ba sounds. He loves puffs and has been eating them by himself for about a month now. He's trying a little bit of table food but mainly baby foods. He naps 2 sometimes 3 times a day. Dane is a easy, happy baby! He just goes with the flow and hardly ever cries.

At Michigan City Beach a couple weeks ago.

 

At Burke's 3rd Birthday Party

 

This was taken today 9 months old!  Check out those bottom teeth :)

Now that's Dane is 9 months things have changed a bit!  In the last week he started 'cruising'.  He is so fast.  He just stands up at the table or couch and walks around it.  He also learned to climb the stairs.  I went up to check on Burke and started coming back down the stairs and Dane was on the 7th step.  He always finds me! 

When he's on the floor he entertains himself and if he's out of sight it because he crawled to the toy room.  Dane likes blowing raspberries with his mouth and about 4 days ago he started clicking his tongue.  (I took a video of him doing it.  It's adorable!)  He also mimicking things that we do to him.  Oh and he thinks Burke is HILARIOUS!!  One of the most precious things about having Burke and Dane sleeping in our room is that when they wake up and see each other they both have the biggest smiles on their faces. 

Happy 3rd Birthday Burke!!

Yesterday we celebrated Burke's birthday!  The theme was Transformers of course and Aunt Heather made him a BumbleBee cake!  He loved it and kept wanting to look at it:)  It was suppose to thunder storm all day we got lucky because it ended up being a beautiful day!  Burke was so luckily to celebrate with so much family and a couple close friends.  He got a lot of fun toys such as a bronco rider (teeter totter) and new swings for is playset, transformer bike, transformers, Mater from cars, play dough tools, robot, clothes, swim trunks, books,  He's a lucky boy!!

 

 

 

Hopefully more picts to come.  I took about 250 yesterday that I need to sort through :)

Burke's 3 year check up

Burke's birthday is on Sunday June 19th!!  We're having a family party for him on Saturday.  He's really excited but I don't think he realizes it just in a couple days! 


Yesterday he had his yearly check up.
Weight: 35 pounds 90%  I was absolutely shocked by this
Height:  38 inches   75%
At 3 your suppose to be able to: jump w/ 2 feet, jump on 1 foot, count to 10, know your colors, dress and undress w/ little help, say your name when asked, and ride a tricycle.  Burke was doing a lot of this stuff before he turned 2 so it was a piece of cake for him!  He also got 1 shot.  He was so big.  He looked at me and asked if it would hurt.  He took it like a champ not even 1 tear.  He couldn't wait to tell Paul how good he did. 


We're really looking forward to his party to celebrate Burke with our families!!

Silver Beach

A couple weeks ago we went to Silver Beach Carousel and Curious kids museum.  This Carousel is beautiful and HUGE!!

 

 

Dane enjoying some puffs. 

I was suprised burke actually put his face in this!  He had so much fun playing with this.

Almost 3!

Burke is one month away from turning 3!  We are preparing for his 'Transformer' themed party.  I don't know who is more excited Burke or Paul.  Burke LOVES transformers and he can tell you all about them.  So when I asked him what kind of party he wanted there was no hesitation before saying Transformers!

Here are some random Burke picts from the last month.

 

At the driving range.  Paul and Burke go to Lowes to the kids work shop on Saturday mornings a couple time a month.

 


Playing at Kesling Park and in our yard on his favorite horse swing!

 

Burke climbed inside this dog crate.  We were amased that his whole body fit in there!  He thought it was funny and asked Paul to carry him around in it.

Burke was in the Mini Muscle Men group at gymnastics a couple months ago.  He LOVED going.

Mothers Day

A couple days before my mom and I always go to Perennials Galore greenhouse to get flowers to plant on Mothers Day.  Last year Burke went and this year Dane joined too!  Burke helped pick out flowers :)

 

On Sunday we went to breakfast with the Penziols at B & J's cafe and later that afternoon we went to my parents.  We spent the day playing outside and planting flowers.

 

 

Easter

We celebrated Easter with the Penziol's on Saturday at John and Amanda's with a great brunch.  The kids did a little egg hunt but mainly there were a lot of drum solos by the kids and Paul, John & Kevin :)  We got a the 1st pict of all 8 cousins with Olivia the newest Penziol!

 

 While the 'EasterBunny' was filling the baskets Dane helped himself to a Robin's egg!!

 

Sunday we had Easter at Matt and Court's in Lafayette.  Burke said the Easter Bunny was going to bring him bakugan's and transformers in his basket so we could dissapoint :)  The kids played out in the yard the majority of time we were there.  Burke LOVED riding on the gator.  I wish I would have recorded his laugh while they were on it.  The kids had an egg hunt in their yard too.
