Dane:
Dane did not really have a lot of words by 22 months. I remember asking his pediatrician if we should be concerned - as a teacher I was a bit worried by his lack of vocabulary. His doctor disregarded the list I had typed up of words Dane could say and insisted I wait until his two-year-old visit. Turns out the doctor was right! By his Birthday Dane was suddenly saying more words then Kevin and I could count. It was amazing. Now, at almost two-and-a-half, he is speaking in complete sentences and it is more than a riot.
Dane is not allowed to have pop, however, he has tried it a couple of times. When I cracked one open the other evening this is how our conversation went:
Dane: I want pop
Me: Dane you know pop is for Daddy and I. You have milk.
Dane: I want a sip, that's all, no more!
I had to give him a sip...are you kidding me?!?!
Two nights ago Kevin had another late night at a soccer game and I got Dane McDonald's for dinner. Gatsby our dog managed to sneak some of Dane's fries from off the table. For the record when we are mad at Gatsby we use both his first and middle name - just like he were a child - totally weird. We say, "Gatsby George!" After this meal as I was putting Dane to sleep, this was our conversation:
Dane: I love you Mommy (although he cannot pronounce the "L" sound, so it goes more like, "I nove you Mommy."
Me: I love you too!
Dane: I love Daddy, too.
Me: I love Daddy too, and Baby Glory and Gatsby.
Dane: I love Baby Gloria too...Gatsby George ate my fries off the table!
it was funny...
Glory:
Glory just turned one-year-old on the 16th. I cannot believe a year has gone by. She is so sweet and funny. She says, Mama, Dadda, Dane, Thank you, and her favorite "Hi!" She has taken a few steps but is not walking yet.
Her Birthday party was done all in pink and chocolate. She had a chocolate cupcake and DEVOURED it! She wore the sweetest outfit that my Aunt Paula ordered for her (I will post pictures soon) and went nuts over every toy we opened. Her favorite was actually the toy Kevin and I bought her, a pink stroller push toy.
She is still tiny, at her one-year-old check-up Monday she weighed 18 lbs, 1 ounce and was 27 inches long. She still is wearing size 6-12 month clothing.
This is such a formal sounding post, but for baby book purposes I do not want to forget some of these little things!
Thanks to everyone for the Birthday wishes for Glory -

our trip to cincy
This is my son in a nutshell. We took a trip to Cincinnati, just the two of us. He was a GREAT traveler - this is why I brought him and NOT Glory - Anyway, toward the very end of the trip I got some gum out of the console and as I was doing so, pulled a marker out. Dane saw the marker and wanted to color so badly. So I gave him a piece of paper from the glove-box and let him color. I looked back at him once and he was doing great, being quiet. I was so pleased at how well-behaved he was being during such a long trip. When we finally got there, it was dark and as I went to get him out of the car...WHOA! Hee, hee.
My cousins' babies (plus Dane). And to think there are a bunch missing from this picture.
He must be thinking, "Ah, this is the life..."
MSU small animal day
Dane loved watching the sheep-herding dog
He loves tractors, can you tell? We waited in line for him to sit on this thing for a half-hour. He was on the verge of throwing a tantrum the whole time.
He didn't get the whole waiting-in-line thing...
He did pet the lambs, but was scared of the big Mama cows. He did NOT want to milk one!Easter...
Dane and Glory on Easter
