Dawson is a goofy boy!

Dawson is getting a little braver with his walking, he'll walk a short distance between the couch and other things, but doesn't venture off on his own yet.

Here's some cute pics I took last week. Lately his big thing is staying up until 2:30am to see Daddy get home. Only happened a few times, I've been able to get him to bed earlier since. Once Daddy got home, he was just beaming and gave him a big hug. It was so cute. He really looks forward to spending time with him. He'll go looking for Daddy occasionally throughout the day. Though he seems to know his schedule better now. He just gets a bit confused with Dad being home over the weekend!

Dawson found a new spot to be the other day. He thinks it's pretty cool!

He was standing on the couch laughing the other night. Not sure about what, but he thought something was pretty funny. Then he decided to pose for the camera!



Getting into trouble! He knows he shouldn't touch the lamp, thus the funny look on his face! He thinks he's getting away with it too!

Dawson's First Steps!

Last night I was playing with Dawson, chasing him around and having fun. He was by the couch and I was several steps away. He just decided to let go of the couch and walk right over to me! He did it about 3 times in a row! It's weird to see him walking. I'm used to seeing Laura walking, but not Dawson! It'll be interesting once he's walking more! He hasn't really tried today, but he's definitely thinking about it more lately. He's being less cautious while walking by furnature. Seems like he's barely holding on these days!

Happy 1st Birthday Dawson!

I can't believe my baby is 1 year old now! We had the party in the community room at our apartment. Dawson wasn't big on the cake thing, he didn't like the frosting all over his hands. He loves his new toys though, he's been playing with them every chance he gets! Here's some pics from his birthday.

He kept trying to reach for the candle.

At least he got some frosting in his efforts!

He got a lot of frosting on his hand, and really didn't like it! After that he decided he'd had enough!

This is as messy as he got! At least it was easy to clean up!

Opening presents!
