I haven't updated about the "little" things in our life for a little while so I thought I would update!
Dane is just over 19 months old and is a very active kid who never seems to tire out. He has 11 teeth and I believe is working on some more. He has become such a sponge, soaking up everything we do and say so he can mimic us later. We've had our bouts with tantrums and tough days, but he truly continues to be a very laid back, easy kiddo. He is actually putting together phrases now and he attempts to say some very difficult words (which is pretty hysterical). Some of his favorites are:
"Are you?" (where are you?)
"Nigh Night"
"Hi Dadda / Mama"
"jump jump"
Dane is very quick to reprimand the dogs for barking "No no no doggies" and usually says "yeah" to everything except sometimes nigh night and almost always to naps...we get a very firm "no" on the nap thing, although he is still taking one a day. Favorite toy still seems to be any type of ball, although his big tonka dump truck comes in a close second. We are pretty sure he's destined to be a hoarder because he packs as much as he can in his dump truck or his little arms to walk around the house. There are many things I've learned since becoming a parent that before actually being a parent I was kind of against. TV for instance...I didn't think we would log many hours watching tv and I am glad to say that we actually don't but I love the 30 minutes of quiet I get when I turn on his precious "Little Bear". I swore my child would not live on hot dogs, but when you have one that has trouble gaining weight you feed them whatever they'll eat. He loves fruit, pretty much any kind but the vegetables continue to be a challenge. He eats pasta like a champ, hotdogs are a favorite and the only vegetables I can get in him are from the morning star farms veggie patties. So that is Dane @ 19 months in a nutshell. He's awesome...the light of our lives and we can't wait to see him interact with the next Hatten installment.
Speaking of...we find out on Saturday what this little nugget is (as long as he / she cooperates and opens those legs). I'm still feeling boy but I waiver on this quite often so I really don't have a clue. I would so gladly take either, truly. I know people think you need one of each and I would love to add a girl to this family, however I also love the idea of Dane having a little brother. And...let's be honest - girls scare me a bit. There are so many more scary things to think about with a girl!
