before & after

It is about time I post the before and after pics of the dining room. Although we have been working on all of the rooms of the house, this is the one that is most complete. Our bedroom still needs to have some pictures hung, so it is not picture ready. Dane's room is picture ready, I just have to get around to it - it seems that when I have free time and think of it, he is sleeping in there!

Now, if only I could have some before and after pics of myself...but first I need a makeover...anyone wanna sign me up?

BTW - notice the chandelier upgrade & the floors

hey there lil' pumpkin

We finally found a good day to go to the pumpkin patch. I like to go during the week cause weekends are MAD and also when the weather is sunny. We got some good pics, and tried to get more of Dane near the goats but the brown one behind him (you can see his body to the left) kept trying to eat Dane's hood...it was pretty funny!

dane & gatsby

Gatsby is learning to play with Dane, slowly but surely. Here is a tidbit that I was able to capture...notice at the end Dane whining - he is constantly crawling after Gats in the hopes that he will pay attention to him - and is upset when he doesn't or stops!

quick update

Since I last posted, Dane has had his nine month check-up (almost a month late, he is 10 months old tomorrow). He is doing great! Healthy, 29 inches long and 19 pounds. Getting into EVERYTHING.

Kevin's soccer season is OVER so I now have him home a lot earlier, which is awesome!

That is about all that is new in our lives, enjoy the pics!

First Haircut!

Dane has some big-boy hair!

He was so cute, sitting in that big salon chair...he kept looking at himself in the mirror (which he loves to do) and smiling. The stylist was very good with him and kept him occupied by giving him combs to play with/chew on. She even put gel in his hair, which was hilarious... I have to say, I am very pleased with the cut - not too drastic, but just enough!

new toofers

Dane cut his top front teeth! Of course they are just showing right now, but I already think they are TOO CUTE! He is looking older in the face to me lately...growing up to be a little boy. He is really beginning to get his balance standing up and is getting more and more brave about climbing up on furniture - as you can see from the pics. You may also notice how badly he needs a haircut! I just am scared that it will not be cut to my standards or liking. Well, I need to bite the bullet soon, he is looking a little WT.

By the way, he is not going to be a skeleton for Halloween, these are just his jammies...you will have to wait and be surprised!
