Part 2

After six hours of active labor..and an hour and a half of pushing.. my beautiful baby boy was born. It was just me and mom (with the doctor and nurses) to welcome him at 6:01 am. He weighed 7lbs 1.5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He let out the loudest wail after Mom cut the cord.. and as the nurse carried him over to the warmer.. he peed on her. LOL! I should have known then that he was gonna be a handful! Mom went out in the waiting room to call my Dad.. and he was already at the hospital waiting. She called him at 4am right before I started to push to give him an update..and he couldn't go back to sleep. So he sat there for 2 hours waiting for me. It was the most amazing moment of my life.

Tonight, he is 6

My little monster is 6 years old for one last night.

Halloween

Dalton has been all about Pirates lately. Not just any pirate, but Captain Jack Sparrow! So we headed to Party City a few weeks ago to pick up a Captain Jack costume. What happens when we get there? My little monster had too many choices to choose from. He ended up choosing Bobba Fett ( or to me: Just some Star Wars guy).


My Star Wars Guy!



















Katie and I took Dalton and Zane to boo at the zoo. I knew I wouldn't be able to go trick or treating due to upcoming back surgery, so this way he and I got to trick or treating.

Dalton and his cousin, Zane.















My friend and his wife took Dalton trick or treating with them. Dalton is friends with their son.
He had a blast and was exhausted when he got home!




Here is my boy with his loot!

I'm a slacker.

I'm a slacker. I haven't posted since May. In May I still had a kindergartener. Now I have a first grader. FIRST GRADE!? How did he get so old?


This is the week before school started. We attended the Meet and Greet. Once he met Ms. Bell, he was ready to start school that day! I do believe he has a crush on her!

Dalton on the first day of FIRST grade! He was super happy!

He is doing awesome in first grade. The first grading period he made the honor roll and got the Character Counts award! Can you tell I'm a proud mom? He has improved so much, especially in reading and writing. Here is a note he wrote for me:

Dalton played AYSO fall soccer. This was his first season. His team, the Cobras, finished out the season undefeated. They kicked butt!



Here are the boys and their trophies with Coach Laura at the end of season party.

A whole hand!

Guess who is a whole hand now!! Yep, Dalton!! My little guy turned 5 on November 4th.
He was sooooooooo excited! Everyday he thinks of new things 5 year olds can do or do better than 4 year olds!
