Times are Changing
Dalton, you have become such a young boy, there is not much of a toddler left in you. You worked hard (so did mommy and daddy) and you have successfully been potty trained for the day time after doing a potty training boot camp! You did awesome, like we knew you would. You also have moved into a big boy bed and love it and are sleeping like a champ! We have had to do alot of playing inside because of the weather, so daddy has made our basement your playground with tunnels, swings, fish, your bikes, balls, karaoke machine and some toddler "tough mudder stuff". You and daddy got some fish while mommy was gone for a few days and you LOVE them!
Dalton, you have been taking some swimming lessons since January and WOW! You impress mommy and daddy every time. You are now in a 4 person class, wait your turn, jump in the water, flip on your back, float and get to the wall! You are amazing! You also have increased your vocabulary so much and are starting to have "real interactive " conversations with us. You are doing well in "school" and appear to be exceeding all of their expectations! You now can count to at least 10 in Spanish! What?!?!?
You continue to increase your sense of independence and want to do almost everything on your own and become frustrated with us when we do it for you, but we are working through that. You are getting more and more of a personality and we think we are getting a glimpse into what you might be as a teenager and adult. You are truly funny and have us laughing a lot of time. You are a cuddle bug and want to be near us a lot of the time. You truly love your back being rubbed by mommy and request it. You play with mommy's hair. You kiss our booboos when we get hurt and show us compassion and concern when we are hurt or sad. You still love to have books read to you and you love being goofy with daddy especially in the morning. You bring us such joy and we are so happy with you in our lives! We are so proud of the little person you are today and who you will become!
The Miller/Hoffman family took a hug loss this month as well. On March 5, 2016, Nicole's father passed away. It is a big loss for our entire family. He was a great father and wonderful "poppy" who Dalton loved and adored. He will be truly missed but we know he is watching over us and will guide us daily! He promised to watch over you Dalton and help you play 1st base in Baseball. We promise you will continue to know your poppy through pictures, stories and memories!
We look forward to seeing what the rest of 2017 brings us!
