Dane started potty training right after we got home from our trip to Utah for Christmas. I had been dreading this for sooo long! The first day he had so many accidents that we ran out of clean underwear... but then by the 3rd day he wasn't having accidents anymore:) Occasionally he still has an accident if he gets too caught up in playing or a show but that is VERY rare these days. He has done so well he even wakes up with a dry pull-up. Now the next step...losing the pull-up at night.
Here he is showing off his "big muscles" and new underwear that he actually managed to get on the right way. He feels the need to completely remove every article of clothing from the waiste down. That means shoes, socks, and his underwear! If his underwear is not on backwards or exposing exactly what it is meant to cover.. it is no where to be found bc he likes them in hopes that he can just run around naked.

Ta-Da! Johnny standing!
Dane's turn....
Dane insisted that Ryan had a turn next:)
Dane likes to think he is being helpful, like when he gets Johnny a toy...or all of his toys:)
I always find my baby buried in toys.
A couple of weeks ago we went swimming. Dane started swimming without floaties at the end of the summer so we wanted to see if he could still do it. HaHa..Nope, he can't... :)
On the 17th we celebrated Ryan's birthday. Here is the birthday boy ready for church.
Ryan requested his Aunt Joan's famous Texas Sheet Cake for his birthday cake. I thought for sure most of it would go to waste but we polished off that baby in only 2 days (with the help of some friends of course..) Man we're pathetic!
Ryan got a little help blowing out ALL of THOSE candles;)
I gave Dane a haircut and not one scream came out of his mouth or tear was shed, Probably bc he was to busy making ugly faces at himself in the mirror and destroying all of my Que-tips. "Whatever it takes"- as my sister, Lara, would say;)
Ryan just started his surgery rotation and decided it was time to shave his head since he would be leaving so early for work and did not want to have to wash and style his hair every morning (he leaves btwn 3 and 4a.m. every day). He handed Dane the clippers and let him do the honors. Dane shaved most of Ryan's head and then he let Ry shave his head. I went ahead and had him shave Johnny's head while they were at it. Now I live with a bunch of baldys.
Dane and Johnny after getting buzzed.
Also...Johnny started crawling. His main motivator was food of course. The first couple of days that he was crawling he looked like a little spider that had been sprayed by bug spray bc he had no control over the lower half of his body but now he is a pro! Dane is not a fan of Johnny being so mobile bc now he and his toys are constantly being attacked. Johnny will crawl up to where Dane is to steal his cars, G.I. Joes, and books or will grab onto Dane's pants or shirts trying to pull himself up onto his knees which usually just results Dane's pants being pulled down to the ground. Watching how these boys interact over the last couple of weeks has been so much fun. I love these guys:)
