Walking!

Deacon is officially walking!! He took his first steps almost a month ago, but is a very hard worker and is now walking! Every night for the past two weeks when Dustin got home from work Deacon would spend 1/2 hour to an hour every night walking between us. We continued to get farther apart and today he was able to walk from his bedroom out into the family room! He still gets tired, but proceeds to get up and keep going! His work ethic is amazing! Here are some shots of determination...

Just a few...

I'm over here, Mom!

He's coming to get me!

Birthday day!

Deacon turned one today! I can't believe that he's already so big... Dustin and I were remembering the day he was born and it seems just like yesterday. Here are some pictures from our day together.

Birthday breakfast- blueberries, and french toast

Birthday Dinner- spaghetti, oranges and green beans (from a can, not fresh or frozen)

Deacon's birthday present from Mom and Dad- 2009 Topps baseball cards- Dustin got him a little set to open now.. Deacon was more impressed with the tissue paper :)

Little climber

Deacon is starting to take some steps- he'll take 4-5 steps before going to the ground

Here I am!

The cake portion of his birthday didn't go over so well... we all blew out the candle, Deacon touched the cake, and it was all tears from there...
