One

I cannot believe that the last 365 days have passed so quickly. My baby boy is not a baby anymore!

He was such a sweet little bundle of joy when he was born. Such a calm, observant little guy!

And, once the smiles began, they have never stopped! Daners loves to show his cute little grin and dimples! Dane is always ready to play and really loves to follow his big sister. His favorite toy is anything that has a wheel....not because he wants to roll it on the ground, but because he wants to sit and spin the wheel with his middle two fingers. Still makes me laugh almost every time!

And the baby boy who entered the world a little on the small side is definitely making up for it now. The boy is a garbage can! Anything that can go in his mouth (and some things that shouldn't such as crayons and paper) will. And he has the stomach and thighs to prove it! :)

And now his personality is definitely coming through. Like I said earlier, he is still an observer, but now it is manifested in different ways. At a restaurant, we cannot put his back to the rest of the crowd. Nosy-rosy spends the whole.entire.time we are in the restaurant turned around trying to see what is going on with everyone else. I wonder where he gets that from :)

My other new fav is how he interacts with his sister. They absolutely LOVE each other and will give each other hugs all the time. But Daners has figured out how to push his sister's buttons. He will pick up one of the toys that she is not playing with and then just walk around her in circles, holding on to the toy, until she notices. Cracks.me.up! She will get upset that Dane has one of her toys and he will run off laughing....I see trouble in our future!! :)

I am so thankful for the blessing that Dane Oliver is in our lives and I cannot wait to see what the future brings.

Thanks to my Dane-Man for introducing us to the world of boys - full of cars and balls and smiles and squishy cuddles. We love you!!
