Quick updates!

I just looked at the blog and realized its been 10 days since Dawson started walking -- he has progressed soo much! He's walking from room to room to room and he's working on standing up from not holding onto anything. In the last couple of days, he's figured out that he can walk on his knees!! :)

He also has learned the word "that"! If he wants something he'll say "that". LOL! It's quite hilarious...I figured he picked it up from us, saying, do you want that? What do you say if you want that? What is that? But he's totally able to identify items and identify things that he wants. He'll bring us right to what he wants. If he wants milk, he'll go the fridge and try to open it...lol. If he wants a banana (seriously his obsession!), he'll walk over to the counter with his arms up and say, "that"!

This morning, Dawson was in the kitchen with Dave while he was making his lunch and Kirby barked because he needed in and Dave says to Dawson, is Kirby outside? Dawson seriously walked over and kindof peeked his head around the counter corner (under the breakfast bar) and pointed and said "that" and then waived "HI"!!! We laughed and thought that was soo cool! :) He's learning so fast -- it's like a month ago, he wasn't walking and now he's walking, talking and acknowledging things and dancing like crazy! It's so much fun!

As for Miss Kylie -- she also is growing up so darn fast! Her imagination is running like crazy and she's constantly telling us stories! She loves to play waitress and loves to pretend play in any way she can! She's going through a phase right now, that she's afraid of the shadows in her room...so we've tried to do some rearranging in her room to avoid some of the shadows, but its quite hard to do. So we've started to make things in the shadows to make it fun for her instead of frightening.

This coming up weekend, we are headed to Dave's Dad's house in Sioux City, Iowa. Kylie is super excited, she loves playing with Dave's two little sisters! It's about a 6 hour drive from our house, so this will be both of the kids' longest drive/ride in the car. We'll see how they do and the Kirby is off to see his friends for 4 days -- he loves going to the kennels :)

I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
