One Year Pictures

Abbey is the most amazing photographer.  I just love her!  Check out her website if you are interested in having her do your pictures.  www.akstudio.typepad.com

Dawson had his pictures taken just before his birthday.  We were so fortunate for good weather.  He really loved the playground at Liberty Park.  

ELEVEN POSTS in one day!

I have now somewhat caught back up...

Birthday Party #2- Cake

Dawson's first birthday candle!

He isn't even bothering with hands this time!

The aftermath!

Then he decides that the hands get more flavor in his mouth.

He just kept going!

What a fun kid!

Birthday Party #2

Please take note while looking at these pictures of my baby's black eye.  He is really learning to walk.. REALLY!

Here is Bella showing Dawson how cool his toy is! He loves this toy not that he has figured it out.  He contantly makes the pig make its noises.  I wonder if he is trying to say something to me?

Dawson LOVES tissue paper.  He practically dove into this bag because it was so loaded with fun paper.

He would tip over the bag and try to show it really who is the boss.  Finally he opened it and found the wonderful treasure it included!

He loved this present so much.  It had a bow!  He pulled it off and that was all he needed.  He since has really loved that truck that came inside the beautiful package.

You want me to play Baseball?!?  Do you know who my parents are?  I really might need some training.

The party was so fun!  Thanks for all the Barnson side family that came to support Dawson!

Learning to Walk

Dawson is learning to walk.  He is practicing and really working towards walking on his own.

And he's off!  He really seemed to just take off.  He took longer than his cousin, but once he decided he wanted to walk, he didn't wait.

Okay, so he still has some balance issues...

And some speed issues...

And some landing issues.

He is so cute.  I can officially say that he was walking by his first birthday.  He is cruising all over now.  He still will only say DaDa, but I love him anyway.

birthday Party #1- Cake

Dawson was so excited to dig into his cake.  He had a great time and really didn't want to stop.

Get Ready!

Forget the next step let's EAT!

Dawson really loves his cake and really made a good show of the event.

Once he saw that there was a cleaner way to eat the cake, he decided to use that.

He got the frosting ALL over his little body.  He offered me a taste as he really thought I would enjoy it as well.

Birthday Party #1

Dawson had a joint birthday party for the Babcock side on March 21, 2009.  He was just great in keeping everyone involved.  (Everyone had to watch him because he is into everything!)

This is Dawson eating Sadie's food.  He is mobile and will steal what he can get!

The Daddies and the Babies!

Dawson is really getting good at unwrapping presents, but just thinks the paper is the interesting part.  He later discovers the toys.  I guess that is not all bad.

This was such a great present!  He loved to unwrap it and LOVES to play with it.

We were so fortunate to have so many people show their love for Dawson with gifts.  Really we were thrilled to have EVERYONE (that is living in Utah) come to the party.  It is always hard to get that many people together without conflicts.  Thanks everyone!  We had a great time!!
