Ten Little Dreams

Can you tell that Kenton was bouncing up and down by the blurred bum in that picture?  No?  Oh, you must have been focused on those wee little TOES and trying to figure out how to nomnomnom them.  I KNOW!  Ridiculously cute.

Okay, THAT’S ridiculously cute.  Amen?

There’s not much of a point to this blog post except to update you on a few things ’round these parts.  For one, the young lad in the photos above can now STAND.  On his own.  It’s pretty presh.  He’s not too good at it yet, which is a-okay by me.

PROUD MOMMA MOMENT ALERT – I caught the first “standing on his own” act on video… check it out:

If you can get past the obnoxious video voice, it’s pretty darn sweet.  -sigh- (and, yes, he was okay!)

In other news, I’m very excited to report I’ll be contributing to a new blog starting in April called, Her View From Home.  I gave one simple suggestion to Leslie on how to snaz up her kitchen clock and somehow I’m now worthy of contributing home design tips.  I know?!  Shh… don’t tell her the truth… let’s all have some fun with this for a while…

So, that will be fun!

Back to baby news…

Little man now has the following words in his vocabulary: Hi, Bye, Mommammmammaaa and Dadadadddaaaddaaaa.  He’s also mastered the high-five and waving.  He waves to everyone and everything, including ceiling fans.  So, we’re still kinda working on that one.

He also waves with his mouth full.  We’ve got a ways to go.

I cannot believe my sweet little prince will be nine months old this week.  Time has seriously flown by!

Mr. Dreamer is on a business trip this week and last night, Kenton saw him via FaceTime.  His reaction was priceless… smiled from ear-to-ear… exclaimed, “DADADADADADA!!!” and desperately tried to grab my iPhone.  So precious – both the Mr and I had a little moment there.

Okay, I’ll be back next time with a post I’ve been really excited about for a long time… creative diaper storage ideas!  Hope you like it!
