My Handsome Boys!!!

Arent they handsome? I just love them!!!

Goodbye Formula!!

It is official. Todd no longer drinks formula. He is drinking whole milk and loving it. Not only did we take away the formula, but we are starting to take away the baby food. He is eating solid food for breakfast. He is enjoying the waffles and pancakes. He doesnt like oatmeal that much, but loves maple and brown sugar cream of wheat. He also gets cut up peaches and pears and applesauce for breakfast. He loves yogurt, so that is his dessert at night. Most of the time he would rather just have that. We are starting to share our food with him, so that he gets used to chewing. Remember, the bad gag reflux. Yeah, that still happens some times. But, thank goodness the formula is gone. What to do with all the money that we save? Hmmm, dont know Christmas is coming and so is Todd's birthday.

Video of Dallon Wrestling

This is a glimpse of Dallon wrestling yesterday.

Wrestling Tournament!!!

Dallon has been attending wrestling practice twice a week for about the past 5 weeks. I drive him to Cottonwood on Mondays and Wednesday nights for 1 1/2 hours of practice. He absolutely loves it. When we signed him up, we knew that he was too young to wrestle in the tournaments. But, after 3 tournaments, we realized that there are kids younger than him wrestling. So, since my dad is the president, he talked with some of the other coaches and they ok'd Dallon to wrestle at the tournament in Lewiston. It was nice because Rick was home. If you didnt know, I am in charge of brackets for the wrestling tournaments. So, therefore I needed some help. Dont worry, I am not doing next year. Sam, my sister in law is taking over. She will be awesome. Anyways, back to Dallon wrestling. He got to wrestle in 5 matches. He did very good. Although he didnt win any he wrestled very well. This was his first time wrestling a match. He wasnt sure what was happening, but started to figure it out after each match. He did pin one kid once. His group is not allowed to win by a pin, they just get points for it. He had lots of fun and he said that he won them all. Even though he didnt know he lost he still knew he got one pin. We are very proud of him. And yes, he wants to do it again. He is the one in the red and white singlet.

Toddy Monster

Yep, this is my monster or moose!!!! I just bought him size 24 month clothes. Yeah!! He is way too heavy to carry around. He is pulling himself up to things and standing there. He still holds on so hopefully a little longer till he walks. But, he does climb up steps.

Stress=Chocolate

Rick was supposed to be home Thursday night. Well, due to plane problems and missing his flight he made it home Friday afternoon. Anyways, Dallon always knows when Rick is coming home. He gets very excited that day and all I hear is if we can go get Daddy yet. Well when I told him we had to wait till tomorrow, he wasnt very happy. So, I told him we could make cupcakes and he could decorate them. This would always fix my stress problem and my chocolate craving. I have been very busy with wrestling and taking care of the boys. I always look forward to the day Rick comes home because there is another adult in the house with me. So, off to the store we went. Came home and made cupcakes. Dallon took a much needed nap. Then he decorated. He had lots of fun and even invited Grandma and Grandpa to come eat some. Todd wanted his picture taken so there is a picture of him too.

Only 2 More Months!!!

That's right. Only 2 more months until Todd turns 1!!! So what has he accomplished in the past month? He started crawling this past month. He has now got it perfected and can get any where. Most of the time where he is not supposed to be. He zooms right along and can get there before I can. He is starting to pull himself up on things. But, only to his knees. He will not stand on his feet yet. He has four teeth total. Let me tell ya, they are some good ones. He is a biter and knows that he is doing it. He only bites Dallon and I, but we get it alot. He usually justs bites Dallon when he is mad at him. Me on the other hand, I think he thinks it is fun. So, we are going to have to start cracking down on that. He is eating a lot. Probably why he weighs about 25 pounds. He is starting to not like his formula, so we are starting him on whole milk this week. That is good, it makes the grocery bill go down. He isnt choking on his food as much. He is finally chewing it. So, we have started him on more solid foods. And, the chopper hasnt been used in a while. He really likes to play with Dallon's toys. Not always a good thing, cuz Dallon doesnt always want to share. They do have days that they just dont see eye to eye. It is a screaming contest those days. He is a jabberbox. He wants to talk to Rick on the phone every time he calls. He gets mad when I stop him. He can say mama, dada, and no!no!no! Dallon is really working on him to say Dallon. I just dont see it happening soon, kind of a hard name to say. He is a great kid. Very very funny!!!
