2 1/2 years old!

Well our little man is officially closer to 3 than 2 - I can't believe it!

He is as fun and funny as ever and we are loving every minute with him :)

-

A little about Dal these days...

(sorry for the overload, but this serves as my scrapbook)

. a few months ago he started calling his blankets "gooby" - NO idea where that came from...

. he is OBSESSED with the 'CARS' movie and is now collecting all the little cars from the show

-if it were up to him we would watch 'CARS' over and over all day long

. he still loves books and now sits through 20-30 page Disney books

. he loves going to SUU football practice to watch coach daddy and the football guys

and loves doing the drills on the sideline - he has a great 3-point stance!

. still loves Diego

. we went to get him some new shoes and he was upset with me because I wouldn't let him get the pink, sparkly Dora shoes

. totally in the "MINE!" phase

. sneaks cars into his crib during naps

. when we ask "Dallas, do you need to go to time-out?" he answers "yes" and puts himself there

. if he is naughty and I give him a little look he immediately says, "Dallas nice boy"

. when we go to Maverik he goes right to the gatorade and get's one and calls it 'kids blue drink'

. he loves getting 'cream-cream cones' from Arctic Circle

. If we ask him if he wants a little brother or sister he says, "No. Just mommy, daddy and dallas"

. However, he loves little babies and calls any baby he sees "baby Norah" (his cousin)

. out of the blue he will tell me "mommy cute" or "mommy pretty" - so sweet!

. he loves to get with daddy and gang up on mom to "tickle-tickle"

. as long as he has his 'gooby', 'be-be' and 'baba' he is content

. he dances along to SYTYCD and tries to copy their moves

. likes to play cars with mommy and daddy, but he always gives us the lame cars and really just wants us to sit off to the side and watch him

. when he is doing his counting he will alternate between english and spanish..."one, dos, tres, four"...thank you Diego and Dora!

. he always says "Oh, man!"

-the other day he was so, so tired and was playing with his cars when one fell on the floor. He put his head in his hands and started crying and saying over and over "Oh man Dallas" - I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard!!!

. when it starts to get dark at night he tells me "sun going night-night, sleeping in clouds"

. he loves to tell us "stop it mommy!" or "stop it daddy!"

we have never said this to him, so we aren't quite sure where he picked it up
. he says "mommy pull" instead of "come here"

. anytime we get in the car to go ANYwhere we have to drive past the stadium aka daddy's work

-on the way there and the way home :)

. he is so polite; always saying please, thank you and excuse me.

-we went to get our flu shots and thru his tears he said "thank you nurse" as we were leaving

. he can spot a car wash from a mile away and asks to get my car washed a few times a day

. he will come up to Teag and I out of the blue and say "hug" or "kiss" and give us loves :)
