Big Boy

I've discovered that Chad and I are on different pages when it comes to Dawson learning new things. Of course it's always exciting when Dawson starts doing something for the first time and I'm proud of him, but I want him to be my little baby that I can hold and cuddle forever. Chad on the other hand, can't wait for him to start crawling, walking, etc. This is what I came home to the other day...

Chad has gotten Dawson to be able to hold his own bottle on occassion and with a few failed attempts, stand up on his own against the ottoman... :( Don't they grow up fast enough on their own already?!

Our Weekend...

Aiden & Dawson "reading" together.

Dawson with cousin Aiden & Auntie Lynn. Dawson & Grandpa Gartner at Chihuahuas, I didn't realize they were directly under the "Bar" sign until I posted this picture. :) Happy Birthday Mom! She will not be happy about this picture being on here but if you have ever had a Chihuahuas margarita (notice the empty glass) you will understand!

We had a great weekend! Friday was our lazy night as usual. Now that Chad is working Friday's (which makes for 5 ten hour days!) he's exhausted when he gets home so we usually relax and watch a movie. Saturday was a busy day, it was my mom's birthday and we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Bennett family. At Johnny & Beth's we had a delicious dinner and it is always fun to watch Dawson with his cousin Aiden. At one point Aiden actually sat still long enough and they were both looking at books-so cute!!! Afterwards we went to Chihuahuas to celebrate with my mom and family. Dawson does great eating there because of the bright colors and ceiling fans that keep him occupied, not to mention getting passed around so everyone gets a chance to love him! :) On Sunday Chad was lucky enought to go to the Seahawks game with Big Jim, Shane & Nathan. The crazy boys left town at 6 in the morning so they could get down there to tailgate before the game. Dawson and I packed up and went over to Kate's house to hang out with her, Riley, Tara & Tyler.

The pictures above are from the weekend before last when we had some friends over to watch the Seahawks game. I couldn't resist posting them- they all looked so cute in their Seahawks gear!
