I wasn't planning on being in any of the pictures so cut me some slack.
I love this one because Dixon is putting his hands out to show he wants to play catch. Uncle Ryan taught him that one!
He was supposed to sit with the bucket and pretend to play in the sand. I like his idea better.
Dixon and I went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point for Kids On The Move's Farm Day. We were on a wagon ride in this picture. Don't be fooled by his innocent face. He tried to climb off the side, attack the driver, and throw a stick at the horses.
Dixon got pecked by a turkey and decided the animals were not that cool. So he went and found some creepy man sitting on a bench alone watching families and holding a camera.
Luckily he got distracted by rocks and the hope that where there's a hose, there's water.
He wouldn't look at the camera so I risked life and limb by leaning over the rails to get a face shot. And this is what I get. Could he look any more annoyed by me?
Here Dixon is trying to tell me to go away so he could look at the ducks in peace. 30 seconds later he was trying to throw his shoe in the water.
I snuck some bread in to feed the ducks. I finally got Dixon's attention and thought I was pretty smart. Until I realized Dixon just wanted to eat the bread. They can have his shoe. But not his bread!
Dixon's favorite part. The chicks. Close enough for him to get a good look. But behind glass so they couldn't peck him. All in all, a fun time.
Scott is remodeling the bathroom. Dixon decided to make a little fort out of the vanity. It started with a comfy chair. Eventually there were about a hundred toys in there and I was no longer allowed in the room.
Dixon got a water table from Mom and Dad. Too bad it's been too FREEZING outside to use it. 
Grandma and Grandpa Alldredge know Dixon so well. They got him his favorite thing in the world. Balloons. He likes to get the cats to chase the ribbons on the balloons while he runs up and down the halls.
He seriously hasn't let go of these balloons for days. He's learning to do everything one-handed.
One hand to eat with. One hand to hold balloons in a death grip.
Grandma Joy made Dixon his very own cake. She was even nice enough to light the candles and let him blow them out. About 400 times.
Here is the balloon cake I made for Dixon. 
Dixon figured being the birthday boy meant he didn't have to wait for us to cut him a piece. So he just dug in!
Here Dixon is relaxing at the end of the day. He's got his balloons, his favorite toy from Grandma and Grandpa Dunaway, and he's watching Bolt. Life is good when you're two.
As many of you know, Dixon LOVES his uncle Ryan. Dixon will run full speed toward Ryan if he sees him. On this day he was fast enough to climb into Ryan's car.
And here he is trying to make a face that Ryan couldn't resist.
I've got my glasses on so we're good to go out, right? 
Decorating Easter Eggs
Decorating With Daddy
Dixon will bring me a toy and a diaper and wait patiently while I figure a way to put the diaper on the toy. Woody was the unfortunate victim this day.
