Dawson's Latest

Dawson just turned 17 months old and is truly a joy and is truly into everything!!! He's a smiley, flirty kid with brilliant baby blues and an adorable dimple like his big sister Kellen. He also has the propensity for picking up an object in one room and then depositing it in another room! We're finding Tupperware in our bedroom, a hairbrush in the playroom, shoes in the kitchen, you name it! It has made keeping the house picked up, very difficult for me! In the evenings, the older kids have to do the legwork for me of putting everything at least back in the right rooms, and then from there, I can pick up each individual room! He's a mess!
He also recently had his first bubble bath with his big brother and sister and loved it. With each baby, we always have to hold off on the bubble baths until they won't eat the bubbles or put them in their eyes! But, he stayed in the bath for this bubble session, and did great!
I also wanted to share this pic from a week or two ago. I know this may not be a rare occurance for other families, but this hardly ever happens with our babies! Dawson had fallen asleep coming home in the car, but it was too early for his afternoon nap (we were afraid he wouldn't make it the rest of the night if he fell asleep that early!) So, Brian just carried him inside and plopped him on the couch instead of the crib. However that wasn't enough stimulation to wake him up, so he just slumped down and continued his nap right then and there. It was pretty cute, I'd have to say. So, he got his way, and we put him in the crib for a very early nap!
