15 Reasons Dixon Is The Best

15. He always manages to find the creepiest old man in a store. Then asks him for a doughnut.
14. Every time I turn around he's running around naked.
13. When I put him to bed at night he says "Bye bye Mommy. Bye bye Daddy. Bye bye Baby Dash" as I'm leaving the room.
12. When he sees fish in a tank he says tells me "Nemo fly!"
11. The other day he wiped a booger on me and then said "eewwww Mommy!" while looking at me as though I had contagious leprosy.
10. When I threaten to leave him somewhere he just waves and smiles.
9. During snack time at his play group he announced "Momma toots!" when my chair groaned.
8. To prevent jealousy and, I'll be honest, shut him up, I gave him a baby bottle full of water. He can now shoot water about 3 feet out of that thing. I can't walk down the stairs without being drenched from above.
7. He's the only kid I know of that thinks the evil shadows on The Princess And The Frog are hilarious.
6. He learned to say naughty before he learned to say mommy.
5. He was playing in a ball pit the other day. He took several balls over and laid them carefully on a sleeping Dash. Then he went back to the ball pit and shoved away any kid that came near the balls. I guess he's mastered selective sharing.
4. He woke up his exhausted, bedraggled parents the other night to ask for his Uncle Ryan.
3. He calls Fruit Loops baby doughnuts.
2. He watched ultimate fighting with Daddy. For 3 weeks he acted as though it had never happened. Then one day he sat on my lap and said "fight" while proceeding to use my chest as a double punching bag.
1. After doing something he's not supposed to do like coloring his body with markers from head to toe or dumping out an entire box of macaroni, he looks at me and says "tah duh!!!"

2 Boys

Well, we've survived six weeks with Dash. Dixon still adores him. He's been so sweet to him. Dash still eats really well and sleeps a lot. I'm still adjusting to 2 little ones needing me at the same time. I swear they coordinate their schedules so they get hungry, tired, or just needy at the exact same time.

Dixon has discovered donuts. He asks for one every day.

Never turn away from a loaded baby. One of the nurses that took care of Dash in the hospital told me Dash did the biggest poop she'd every seen from a baby. Pretty impressive coming from a woman that takes care of babies all day. On this day I was changing a full diaper when I got attacked by projectile poop. I thought I'd given him time to finish. Notice Dixon's little hand pointing to the weapon of choice. He thought it was pretty funny.



Dixon got to hang out with his Dunaway cousins. His latest favorite movie: Lilo and Stitch. He wakes up in the morning asking to watch Lilo.

Dixon and Conn. Trouble.

I tend to project on my boys when I'm cold. Dixon can now fight back. Dash is at my mercy.

Dash and his "lovey." When Dixon hasn't stolen his elephant and thrown it down the stairs, Dash loves to grab it and hug it. Too cute. Thank you Brent and Sarah!
And yes, his hair is falling out at an alarming rate.

Scott and Dash hanging out. Dash looks so much like Dixon when he was new that you can't tell their baby pictures apart. If they have similar personalities I'm in big trouble!
