All About The D-Man

Today's blog is all about my little man Damon.
(AKA: D, Day, Deebs, and Big D)

This is one special little guy. There is just something about him, I can't even put into words. I just love this boy! He is the sweetest little man ever. He has got the life...

He starts his mornings anywhere between 9:30 and 10:30. When he wakes up, he doesn't cry or scream like most babies or toddlers. First off, he just kinda plays and talks to himself in his crib. Then when he has enough of that, and is ready to get up, he just simply calls out for me. I will just hear the cutest little voice yelling out "Mommy". He will then wait for a while, and if I haven't come in he will yell out for me again. Its really cute.

Once he is up, he has his usual bowl of oatmeal. He loves his oatmeal! He can eat 3 packs of the instant oatmeal. His favorite is the apples and cinnamon flavor.

Once breakfast is done its cartoon time...

He loves watching pretty much anything on the Disney channel. His favorites are "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", and "Little Einsteins." This is my time to get a few things done.

(Yes... my 1 year old watches t.v. Go ahead, judge me!)

By the time we are done watching cartoons, it is time for Ashlyn to get home from Kindergarten. Damon feels sooooo BIG when I let him ride down the road to the bus stop in the FRONT SEAT! And he just loves locking and unlocking the door while we sit at the busstop waiting for Ashlyn's bus to arrive.

 And he loves to sing along to the music in the car. His favorite is when Katy Perry's song "Last Friday Night" comes on. He loves the part when they chant "TGIF TGIF". He always does that part. (Though I'm pretty sure he isn't saying the right letters, but it sounds like it, so that's all that matters.)

Once we get home with Ashlyn, Damon just loves to follow her around and play with her. And she is really good about letting him tag along.  They pretty much play the afternoon away until Damon gets tired and needs his nap.

This usually happens around 2:00. So I carry him up to his bed, he fights me a little, but once I leave his room, he is good and usually falls asleep pretty quickly. And man does he sleep. Most the time, Terry gets home and Damon is still taking his nap. I love that he sleeps so well. And the good part about it is, if I need to run errands, I can put his nap off til a little later, and he still does just fine, and goes to sleep at his regular time at night. I sure got lucky!

Damon loves when Mom pretends to be a horse.

He loves to be outside.

And he loves to ride 4 wheelers!

Damon is also finally starting to talk. His favorite words right now are...

Mommy

Daddy

Phome= Phone

Home

Ball

Daddy home

Dow= Yes (not sure how he came up with that one!)

Meal= Oatmeal

Joo= Drink or Juice

Nack= Snack

Side= outside

One thing that he does that is pretty funny/gross is...

When we go to change his diaper, he tries really hard to push out a fart. And when he manages to get one out, he laughs his head off. And if he hears someone else fart, he runs over to them and touches their bum and says "bum bum (he makes a farting sound)" and then starts laughing. (Yes, my family farts, and you better hope Damon isn't around if you happen to fart as well!)

Well, we sure do love our little man. We couldn't imagine life without him!
