Some Fun

I don't know why I always forget to blog in January. To make up for it I am going to do one catch up blog and tell you all the fun things that we have been doing. Hold on for the ride.

Denali LOVES cookies. I will make a big batch and freeze cookie dough balls. Then every night I make a few so we always have hot fresh cookies. Denali knows when we are getting the balls out. He starts smiling and flapping his arms. Here are just a few pictures of our yummy messy face boy.

Greg and I have adventurers too. I dropped a bottle behind my clothes washer. Since my washer is 300lbs we don't move it. I dangled behind it why Greg helped (I mean took pictures of me and laughed). Greg has been looking at hiking backpacks for a long time. He finally found them on a really good sale. He was so excited he was like a little kid in a candy store. Timber got on the best pant sale ever. I got these pants for $20. Then when Timber stayed with us she was wonderful and hemmed all my pants.

Yes, what you are seeing is teeth marks in the soap. Most morning Denali helps (see 2nd picture) mom get ready. One morning he was being really good. I looked over and he had a chunk of soap in his mouth. He was very upset when I took it from him. Normally he helps mom on the floor. He also loves riding in the laundry basket.

 
Denali favorite toy is this little dog he got for Christmas. The best time of day is when dad and or mom (we have to take turns) pull him around. I took him outside one day and he was ok with it. I think he would of liked it better had it been hotter then 30 degrees. He has to concentrate with his tongue. When we say all done he always grunts a little. Some times he tries to ride it like a bull, one handed.

 Denali is becoming quite the little mover. He likes to throw everything out of his toy box but then he get mad and yells when it is all gone. Mom then comes and puts every thing back in, and the games starts again. He loves to chase balls around. He gets really mad when they go under chairs where he cannot reach them. One day I watched him go around and around the kitchen chasing a ball. The tile is not his favorite because it is so cold.

 

Denali got really sick for the first time. I knew he was sick when he started to snuggle with me, and he screamed when he put him in his bath (he loves his baths). Turned out to be double ear infection and a cold in his eyes. We did a lot of snuggling. I loved and hated it. 

Denali is getting so big he is 10 months old. I really don't know where the time went. Everyday we fall more and more in love with this little piece of heaven that came into our lives. His mouth is were everything goes, especially hands and fingers.

I tell Denali that every day I have to kiss him 100 times. I do that and more. Playing with our baby is the best. Greg loves to and is good and making him laugh.

After all the playing, laughing, moving, helping, eating and the many many photo shoots it is time for bed. 90% of the times Denali goes down I sing him four songs in this order; "twinkle twinkle little star," "lulu little baby," "I have a family here on earth" (both versus) and all three versus of "I am a child of god." It has taken a few month but most time when I start singing he jabbers along with twinkle twinkle. Cuddle for I have a family here on earth and be a sleep for I am a child of god. However, if I stop early because I think he is a sleep think again.

**Other fun thing we did but not pictures is we went to Timber and Aces. It just happen to be the same weekend that Trujillo and Charlotte came down as well. It was crazy and fun with everyone. We went swimming. Denali was not too keen on the water but he loved clapping with dad and watching everyone in the water. Greg and I jumped off a high dive. When is the last time you can say that you did that?
