Dean is 8 months!



Dean spent this month abroad visiting family in California and Utah. Here are some things that happened while we were away:

-Dean got his second tooth


-sat on Santa's lap...twice...and LOVED it.

-Or maybe he just loved getting his picture taken. He's good at that.


-Dean was introduced to the walker and LOVED it. Especially once he learned how to use it.







-Also...introduced to pretzels! He loves them. We gave him the Twisted Honey Wheat ones because they don't dissolve as easily. He had many a pretzel in the high chair and stroller trying to keep him happy while we got stuff done


-still won't eat baby food. Cereal or Gerber food.


-Dean started pulling himself up. The first time he did it was on the faucet of my parent's kitchen sink





-believe it or not he didn't enjoy the wrapping paper from Christmas presents as much as I thought he would. He DID like to chew on the present before it was unwrapped


-peed on Joel and Grandma for old times sake


-He was great on the flight to California, pretty good on the flight to Utah, and as good as he could be on the flight back to Philly considering he was sick


-Yep...Dean got his first fever in Utah. Joined by chest congestion and coughing. This meant lots of sleeping with Dean in our arms.

-The fever gave us a reason to go back to McKay Dee Hospital where Dean was born. Late night visit to the ER...
-First time getting Xrays and a breathing treatment.
-First time being diagnosed... Bronchiolitis

BEST FOR LAST

-I (and a few eye ear witnesses) know Dean uses "mamama" to cry for me specifically.
We had some doubters, but I think they are now convinced.
Rewatch the 2nd video of Dean in his walker. It's there.

I love having a mamamama's boy


Two videos to wrap things up.
1. Dean's cute talking.
2. Dean's poop face and poop noise.
Yes, I am guilty for once again posting something that will undoubtedly embarrass him someday. But I have to. I'll miss it when it's gone.
