THANKSGIVING OUTFIT.....read the bottom of my post!

Hanging out with Daddy!

I still haven't got back his "newborn" pictures...but my friend Angie (who is so so 9 months pregnant) was kind enough to come over and take some pictures of Dane on his one month b-day last week. Check out her website angieseare.com. I can't believe how much he changes every day. He does the funniest things. If we didn't already call Heathers husband Josh Shark, that is what i'd be calling Dane. He freaks out when you don't give him his food right when he wants it...so then he throws his little face around everywhere til he finally finds his food:) its hilarious. He's like my own real life bobble head. Its so cute. He's so strong, he holds his own bottle sometimes, he stands up on his legs so well...especially if he's mad. Ben finally is really feeling like he knows what he doing with him. He and Dane have had a lot of father son time this week because I've been sick. So, luckily Ben had Tuesday and Thanksgiving off. He's been Super Dad, making bottles, burping him, giving him baths, changing WET diapers...notice...he'll only dare to change the wet diapers. Dane's poopy ones are just too overwhelming for him:) haha. All of the sudden I'll hear Ben saying, "ahhhh, mommy its poopy, HELP!!" I'm hoping daddy will grow out of that. Anyways, we had a great Thanksgiving, I hope all of you did too.

ps...who thinks Danes Thanksgiving outfit is darling, and who thinks he looks like a "BACKSTREET BOY." Ben says I need to stop playing dress up with him, "He's a boy Joelle!"

Another Old Slide Show!

Fun with Baby Dane

Dane is 4 weeks old now...since we've only had him home for 2 weeks I feel like I have missed his child hood!! He is gaining lots of weight and growing...well, he still has the skinniest little legs ever. He was born at 6lbs 9oz, then when he got sick he went down to 5lbs 9oz. But don't you worry, at his doctors appt last thursday he was 7lbs 1oz, and then his doctors appt tuesday he was 7lbs 12oz, he's becoming a little chubby:) We love it. I bet he'll be so chubby soon.

He loves his new bath tub...although he HATES getting out of the tub. He has the cutest little wrinkles in his forehead when he looks up at you. He kind of whines sometimes when he's looking up at our faces and Ben thinks he's trying to tell us stories. Its so funny. Also, his cousin Laila came to visit him on Sunday. She held him, fed him a bottle, and said the cutest little things to him. She's not even 3 yet and she's such a good helper and babysitter. Anyways, we have some professional pictures on the way, but until then here are a few:) Love you all.

Ben had one of his dreams come true when he and Dane finally took a nap together...he's always wanted that. This is the first time in his crib with his cute bedding my mom made for him. He doesn't sleep here yet, but when he does he will appreciate the hard work Grandma put into it.

I'm finally sitting down long enough to try to fingure out this whole "blog" thing. I have no idea what I'm doing...thats why I haven't updated. Luckily, my sister Errin has been able to be on top of it for me:) But now that I finally have Dane home I'm going to try to keep everyone updated on him. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. I'll write more later, but i'm going to try to add some pictures before he wakes up and needs attention:)
