oh-TWO-doodles...a very happy birthday

Well, my baby boy turned 2

I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Can't he just stay little forever?

At his 2 year well child visit we learned that he is still in the 90th percentile for height and weight (future football player?). Everytime Dr. Loftus would check his ears, listen to his heart and lungs Dean would say, "Thank you Dogger!"

Dean was spoiled for his birthday. Great G&G Perry came to visit, Grandma Hess came all the way from Idaho to stay with us, Grandma Shirley sent him some fun stuff. Russ, ZZ, Bompa & Maw-mawk came to celebrate too! He even got a sleep over with G&G T and a trip to the aquarium!

Happy Birthday!

...a Baby Shower...

my wonderful aunt Andie from Oklahoma put together the cutest shower invitations in the world!

big thanks to Jessica & Krista for hosting the shower at your house, the amazing food provided by my aunts & girl cousins- y'all rock!

my baby shower was on the BIG snow day so a lot of family couldn't make their way to the shower but, I am grateful for those who were able to come and give such great baby advice. Upon opening each gift, the giver would offer a piece of advice :)

SHOUT OUT to my amazing family who live far away but still sent their support and love :)
thanks Alia & Christina (Wendover) Johnna, girls & Grandma Shirley (Maryland), Andie & Breanne (OK), Theresa & Hailey (Idaho), aunt Amy & girls (St. George) and G&G Perry (Chilie)! I know if you could have been here, you would! Love you


here are a few of the gifts I received...

Check out that amazing diaper & blanket cake made by Terea & Denise! 

Please note the crimson in the middle  :)

My mom made that beautiful quilt

the dog sweater was given to me by Alia (Calin's big sis). The sweater used to be Calin's when he was a baby! So sweet!

Thanks again to all those who have supported me and baby Dean :) We LOVE you!!!
