Santa's little helper

Dane just looks adorable in his little santa hat:) He actually loves wearing it and he looks down at the mirror on his exersaucer and just laughs! Too cute:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we celebrated Dane's first Thanksgiving! We were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with my family and the evening with Josh's family. Boy were we stuffed at the end of the day! We look forward to next year when Dane will be able to eat some of the yummy turkey dinner:)

Dane's Baptism

Today Dane was baptized by Father Vince at SS John & Paul Church in Altoona. He was very entertaining to watch throughout the whole baptism. He cooperated very well and interacted with everyone there for the baptism. He was a little angel:)

Happy 6 months Dane!

Today Dane turned 6 months old! Time goes by way too fast when you're having this much fun! It's so hard to believe he's already been in our lives for 6 months but yet it feels like he's been here forever! We went and got Dane's 6 month pictures taken and this time Daddy came with us so he could experience the photo place. Plus mommy wanted a family picture:) Dane cooperated very well. Mommy and Daddy didn't even have to try to make Dane smile as he absolutely loved the photographer and was all smiles for her.
Later that night Dane got to try baby food for the first time. Well he didn't like it so much. We were told to start with the green veggies. Sweet peas was his first taste of baby food and the poor thing dry heaved! Mommy and Daddy were laughing at all the funny faces but then we felt bad making him suffer through the few bites of sweet peas he got. Boy is our little man getting big!

Mommy's birthday

We celebrated mommy's birthday today. It was a lot of fun spending time with family this year as it had been 4 years since we have celebrated our birthdays with family. Daddy and Dane got me some really cool new Ugg boots to keep my feet warm with this freezing cold Iowa winter! Dane was pretty interested in the birthday cake. He'll get some soon enough:)

Rice Cereal...YUMMY!

Today Dane received his first food other than milk...rice cereal! He absolutely loved it and could not get enough. Dane did an excellent job of eating off a spoon too. Mommy fed Dane the first two times then it was daddy's turn on the third day. Dane sat in his new high chair too when daddy fed him. Dane just loves it when his daddy feeds him because daddy makes it so fun. It's so amazing watching Dane grow and conquer all these milestones. He's such a big boy!
