The "All done" Video

Alton has FINALLY learned the sign for "all done"! But here is a video with the sign and the pointing to the belly button. :)

Alton poses for the camera!

During dinner tonight, I was showing Travis pictures of my friend Lynn's new baby girl. Alton saw the camera and made his "look at me!" noise.

I looked over and him, and he was smiling away and posing with his dinner dirtied face. Wow, can black beans and taco meat make a mess!
He wasn't happy with just one photo either, he insisted on me taking another one. Here is a close up of the devastation that black beans and taco meat can produce when mixed with a toddler:

He was so cute after the photo taking, because he insisted on seeing his picture after I was done taking the photos.

100th Post! Park Day again

Same kit from yesterday. I love this picture of Alton!

We had an accident Sunday night. Alton tripped over his daddy's feet and he split his beautiful little lip open. We went to the doctor Monday and they said no anti-biotics. He was in good spirits during the day on Monday, so I am hoping that he is on the mend and that he won't have a scar. Please pray for healing, I know most boys get some sort of scar in their lives but I hate to think he is scarred for life at such a young age!

Alton has started "dancing" and it is highly obvious he is white. He has no sense of rhythm whatsoever, but it still the most darling thing I have ever seen. He loves books and points out animals wherever we go. He has been trying very hard to use his fork and spoon, and is getting much better about keeping his food on his plate.

He is utterly in love with his daddy, and it makes my heart flutter to see the two of them together. We are so blessed. :)

Our Latest Trip to Disneyland

We started out doing a secret shop of the Carnation Cafe. Alton was a BIG fan of his Junior Mickey Mouse waffle.


He was not as big a fan of the orange slice garnish.

While we walked breakfast off walking along Main Street, we ran into someone famous.
You will notice that Mickey and Alton are holding hands. This was not a loving gesture, Mickey was trying to save his nose from the prying hands of Alton. :)


This visit to Disneyland was special, because it was Alton's friend Angus's first trip to Disneyland.
Here are Angus and Alton in front of the honey pots in Pooh Corner.

I think Alton might know he is cute. :) Look at his grin!

Pop Pop (Grandpa Scott) always takes the best pictures:
I have already been to Costco to have this one blown up. It is framed in our bedroom.

Alton and Pop Pop in the beehive on the Winnie the Pooh ride.

Alton loves his Pop Pop.

My new camera does some pretty nifty stuff.

We had lunch together at the Hungry Bear Cafe. Alton and Angus had a good time watching the ducks on the Rivers of America eat random bits of food their mommies kept throwing. Not that mommies would ever abdicate throwing of food.
Both of the boys loved the new Finding Nemo Submarine Adventure. Here is Angus expressing his appreciation of the Magic of Disney Imagineers.

Chaos: and a quick update

We are moving in a little under two weeks and we just started packing yesterday. :(
Alton insists on growing like a weed and is HIGHLY active.
He is now crawling on his hands and knees and cruises every where he can pull himself up on.
He is over his milk intolerance! WHOOT! But is still intolerant to eggs in mommy's diet.
We also tried the Gerber Puffs, and he LOVES LOVES LOVES LOVES them. Thank you Soren's mommy Kayt for the suggestion. We are going to try Cheerios next.
We have a secret shop at Disneyland today. Wish us luck. :)

Alton and Broccolli: The Video

His mommy won't really touch broccolli, so he must have gotten his love for the stuff from Daddy.

A Boy and His Banana

Alton makes the funniest noises when he is hungry and eating.

I'm afraid he might hyperventilate some day!
