DJ's new-favorite car is still in the conceptual stage of development: The car's non-availability makes the boy a little sad.

Davis knows that it is very important  to sleep-in on Saturdays. After a long week of school,  a little extra rest does a little body good.  So, around 5:30am, he starts his day: He puts-on his house shoes, and contemplates an extra fun day.

Davis was fighting a nap in his room, so an opportunity was negotiated for an afternoon siesta on Mommy & Daddy's big bed. Keeping the little boy well rested is a challenge, especially now that he appears to be going through a growth spurt. It seems like he takes after his Daddy by taking-up as much room as possible. The little guy is totally encroaching on Mommy's side.

Davis fell asleep early last night in his Mommy's arms. Such a sweet little boy. (he has been having a few temper issues, lately) In the morning, he was happy and in a very good mood. He helped to put his clothes on, and talked about having a good day at school! We'll have a surprise for him later....An early ticket out of school with a trip to the Nature Center!

We drove through rain the entire length of the way down here yesterday. Davis thought it was the longest car wash ever. We fixed the portable DVD player before the trip, and it was a good thing. Davis watched a couple of his home videos before settling-in to watch the entire Cars movie. He took a regular 90 minute nap, but no poopie! The little dude held it the whole way -maybe the rainstorms (or big carwash) had him a little frazzled. We checked-in our hotel room in Frisco (just outside of the Big D) at about 3pm. It has a king size bed, and Davis took up at least half of it sleeping last night. We ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory -an awesome meal (and 2 leftover to go meals as well). Today, it's off to the Dallas Aquarium before returning home. Davis will have to say bye bye to the Frisco water tower (excellent view of it from the room), the aligator (elevator), and the big bed! We enjoyed our time in Frisco, it has every imaginable type of store! (Bombay ...

L ast night Davis decided that the blanket in the floor of the den was a nice spot for a good night's sleep. We let him sleep there for about ten minutes before moving him back to his crib (he even stayed asleep during the move). We're debating when to convert the crib into a big-boy bed. He's been doing very well with sleeping the entire night, and he does good with going up and down on other furniture. If anything, the crib has been giving us problems wrangling-up Davis in the mornings, he likes running back and forth -trying to dodge our attempts to get him ready to go. We probably don't have long to decide, anyway, with him growing so fast. (Davis always seems to wake-up in ...

Davis just fell over while watching TV this morning and went to sleep... very strange behavior, no fussing, nothing. It was so funny! Here he is... snoozing away.

He's getting up on all fours, looks like he could crawl any day! For now he just drops and rolls. "Mom, you tell me I'm cute all the time!" I love how sweet our baby is when he wakes up in the morning. I hope it's ok to say it but for 4 days in a row he has slept thru the night from around 10pm to 8 am. I have been scared to mention it because it may stop! He went back to sleep after his feeding this morning. Here he is in our bed.
