Birthday Pictures

On Dane's Birthday, August 19, we had a small gathering at Grandma Pat's and Grandpa Roger's house. The guest included Aunt Shirley and Uncle Al (Grandma Mary and Grandpa Bob were out of town). We plan on having another birthday party once Daddy is home.

Some videos for Dad

I think Dane might have the Willson genes of musical talent =)




Here are daddy's two babies - Dane and his FJ

My Proud Mommy Moment

Today was the first time I left Dane with complete strangers. We went to church and I brought him to the nursery. My worst fears were that he was not going to know how to play with the other kids and try to take the toys away from them or he was going to cry hysterically because he didn't know anyone. When I got there I told the lady I had never left him with anyone before, and I could see the sarcastic look of "oh great" in her eyes. I kinda chuckled to myself wondering what she was thinking she was getting herself into, but I assured her that he was a good baby and he should not give her any problems. Then my friend plopped him down on the floor and he immediately started to play with the blocks and put everything in his mouth (this was my "oh great" germaphobic moment). I then proceeded to say goodbye to him, but he was too busy playing. I then left and checked on him twice throughout the service. Both times he was playing nicely with the other kids. My "Oh So Proud Mommy Moment" came when I went to pick him up afterward. I peeked my head in and I saw Dane sitting on the floor. There was a little girl (probably a couple months older) standing in front of him and looking at him. Dane had a toy in his hand, he held it up to her, smiled and said, "da," and she took it. Oh my gosh! My heart just melted! So proud of my little boy for being nice and sharing =) The lady then told me he did wonderfully and he can come back anytime! Yay!

Playing with Mommy

First off, I just want to mention that I don't usually have the tv on when I am playing with Dane. We watch cartoons in the morning and then shut it off for the rest of the day. Hope we can continue that even we daddy gets home =) (hint, hint)

Anyway, Dane is almost 11 1/2 months here. He calls everything "da" and is walking a few steps. He also understands much of what I say.

Early Birthday Present

Dane received an early birthday present from mommy & daddy and Grandma & Grandpa Roe. Lets see how many it takes to put it together......

One Mommy
One Grandpa Roe
One Great Uncle Frank
and One Great Grandma Roe

Woooo Weeee! It took so long to put together that by the time it was finally ready, Dane was feeling so neglected and ticked off that he wanted nothing to do with it, ha ha. But I can say that the next day he had a blast in it and was very excited to go for a ride around the block. The wait was worth it =)
