Dallimus Bo Ballimus

Our little Dallin is so fun to have around. He smiles practically all the time and if he's not smiling he's cooing and talking. That is if he isn't chewing on his fingers. Needless to say he is always a slobbery, wet mess. Which makes the fact that he has his father skin with exzema all over his arms and legs a little more difficult to take care of. It doesn't seem to bother him so much, but it makes me so sad because it looks like it hurts. There isn't much that bothers him though, he's so patient with his big brother who wrestles and tackles him all the time.
Evan loves Dallin to pieces and always wants to be right there with him. He really is a big help and is so sweet whenever Dallin is crying. He finds his binkie and holds it in his mouth while talking sweetly to him or singing his song. I love watching it. Of course Dallin thinks the world of Evan. He laughs at him all the time and just lights up whenever he sees Evan. It's so great for a mother to see. I hope they always stay buddies. Dallin is a great sleeper as long as he has his blanket on his face. It scares me, but he fights it unless his little face is covered. He has spent the past couple of nights in his own crib in he and Evan's room. He sleeps from 8-3 or 4 and then goes back to sleep until anywhere from 6-9. It's so great to have a little boy that does everything so easily. He's just a great kid and we all love having him around.

Woo hoo! Check out the chubs on that little guy! Kind reminds of a little girl I live with! Arwen was the same way with her blankie. When she was a baby it had to cover her face--then as she got older, it had to be right under her nose.

Look at those rolls on his leg! What a chubster. Yep, Austin did the same. Over his face and now he sniffs it! Pretty cute to see him walking around sniffing his blankie (when he stealthily pulls it out his crib when we're not looking).
