18 months

Daegen thanks for being my little buddy. We are attached at the hip and I like it that way. Thanks for dancing with me today on your 18 month un birthday, to our song. I especially liked the hot chocolate waterfall that you had coming out of your mouth today while we were driving home. Thanks for drinking my spinach and flax seed smoothies, not even your aunts and grandma will drink them. I love how you love reading books, even though a dread taking you to the library to pick them out because you use the library as your running track. You are the one that makes me laugh through the day and then your dad comes home and you guys make a pretty good duo , if I say so myself. I love that you wont call me mommy that you insist on calling my baby daddy. I never thought bring you home from the hospital at 5 lbs 13 oz you would turn into an active 18 month old that I 'm totally in love with and I actually love chasing after you and playing cars with you. Thank you Daegen for the best 18 months of my life, lets keep the next 18 years the same.

we were rocking out this morning for his unbirthday .

didn't last long

we had our 30 min teeth brushing ritual this morning.

We had our hot chocolate before nap to celebrate the 18 months.
