DYSON'S 9 MONTH OLD BIRTHDAY

OUR BIG GUY

Today Dyson is 9 months old, can you believe it. So we took him in for his check up and he is still taller than all the other boys his age. He is in the 95% (which is the highest it goes) and he is 31 inches tall. But he is also very skinny he is 19 1/2 pounds which is only in the 30%. The doctor said everything looks good and that he is a very smart boy.

SWIMMING/ Dyson's 9 Month Old Birthday

Dyson Loves to go swimming we try and go at least once a week. Dyson has so much fun crawling around in the water and meeting new friends. He goes and goes until he gets in to deep or dunks his face.

He will sit and splash for a few minutes when we get there but after that he is always moving.

Off He Goes

Lookin for trouble
He is always very tired when we get done.

OUCH!!!/ Dyson 8 Months

SO Sad:( This is one of Dyson's many falls. He hit the corner of the table and scraped his nose and forhead on the way down.

Dyson 8 Months Old/ BBQ At The Park

So it totally sucks we can't have BBQs at our apartment anymore because the apartments insurance won't allow it. So we decided to go to the park and do it instead. I think it ended up being a lot more fun then doing it at home any way.

8 Months/ CRAZY DYSON

Ok so over the past few weeks Dyson has started getting into everything. First of all he is crawling everywhere and following me around the house. It is soo cute but he doesn't want me out of his sight and he wants me to hold him all day. He has been trying to stand up on everything and he has pretty much mastered it but he still doesn't have enough balance. He walks around the coffee table and anywhere that he has something to hold on to. Its really scary because he forgets and lets go and falls hard. It is soo sad because he hits his head a lot. He also is having a hard time with naps now because he stands up in his crib and plays with the mobile and doesn't sleep.

Off He Goes To get Into Trouble.

Dyson also tore the door stopper off the wall, opened a permanent marker and wrote on his leg and everything else you can imagine.

Its crazy how fast they grow. Dyson is soo much fun I just can't take my eyes off him for a second. Its a lot of work but I love this age because he can play games, he understands things a lot more and he shows his big personality. Oh yeah and I almost forgot he also has been saying Dada, Momma, Hi, Ya.

Student Teaching Here I Come

So last week I met with the teacher I am going to be working with as I student teach. It was very exciting she is very nice and I think I can learn a lot from her. I am going to be working in a first grade classroom at Washington Elementary (which is close to the capital). This is a tough school with a lot of turn over from the homeless and single parent students. These students tend to move a lot because of their circumstances. I am very excited and up for the challenge. The hardest part is going to be leaving Dyson, I think it might kill me.

Dyson 8 Months/ Hogle Zoo

Hogle Zoo

Last weekend we went to Hogle with three of my best friends and their boys. It was so much fun we don't really see each other that much anymore so we had a blast catching up.

Dyson didn't get a nap that morning so he was very tired.
