Our Blue-Eyed Boys

To start off with- another comparison.

Dace @ around 10 weeks old

Zade @ 10 weeks old.

Dace is such a great big brother. He just loves Zade. These pictures capture a natural progression that I don't need to put in words . Enjoy.

Saying Hi to Mama

This is what I get from Zade all day long. I am so in love with my new little boy.

At this rate, he'll be talking before Dace.

Strong Boy

Zade turned 2 months on Sunday. I remember Dace being "advanced" according to the What To Expect book but I haven't been flipping through it this time. So I don't know- is this normal? He is so strong! I love watching him during tummy time because I never know what to expect. He sat perched up like this for a few minutes today. Crazy!

bonus picture- asleep after a foot massage. Too bad the mama doesn't get those....

Friday night dance party

We had a birthday party family dance celebration for a ward activity on Friday night. Dace was in his element. He loved the loud music and all the girls to dance with. I really need to get a new card for our one camera so i can get some video of him bustin' a move. Anyway, he danced and played and ran around til after 10-his latest night ever.

Zade might have been in over-stimulated mode. But he was total chill listening to the music and looking at the lights. We had him on the dance floor a couple times. He loves snuggling up on my shoulder and bopping around.

Lord of the dance.

Zade had his bedtime snack by the pool underneath the stars then curled up in his stroller til we were ready to go. I know, he's got a rough life, huh....

Blessing Day

On the way to the church. I didn't want him dressed til we got there because the one day he's all in white in his carseat is the day he has a blowout, right? Murphy's law or something...

Dallin's parents came out for the weekend. It is always great to see them and have family with us.

Grandpa Randy came up from Mississippi for the weekend too.

proud papa.

What about Dace?!

We haven't forgotten that this is in fact Dacebook. Actually, I will be changing over to a new family blog in the upcoming weeks but for now, we're staying put.
Dace is being a great big brother. He loves Zade so tenderly it is adorable. True, we are seeing a preview here and there of the upcoming terrible twos but he accepts real quickly that we are the boss, not him. I would LOVE for him to start talking, I think that is my biggest frustration. He knows exactly what he wants etc but it's still just grunts and hand gestures. Once it is a two way exchange of English it will be much better.
Nursery is the highlight of the week. I think he might be the most popular person in our ward. He can easily hang out with the toddlers and I have caught him many times on the stairwell surrounded by youth. He fits in anywhere and man he is a lady killer. He went to a birthday party last week- him and 15 girls! And at church, he always has at least 1 on each side, walking around hand in hand. Oh the dating years will be interesting.....

He lives in his hat and it's only worn backwards or sideways.

Dead tired after church.

At the mall playground. Notice the adoring onlooker in the background.

Good Morning Smiles

Zade is such a happy little boy in the morning. He takes after his father and brother. I was able to capture just a little bit of his smile fest this morning. He was trying to talk too but wouldn't let me film that.
