Here I am again, still slacking on the blog. Things have been crazy, which is typical for summer around here. We're gearing up for 4th of July in Steamboat (yay!) and are volunteering for Brewfest this weekend. Always a good time. Dillon is amazing - new words everyday. My current favorite is olive, which sounds like "ah-woah". L's are so tricky! My little super genius already knows what letters go in his name and recognizes when that is the word written - "Dinnon". Language development is so amazing. I will leave you with a hilarious video of niece Finley singing the ABC's. Pay special attention to the T U V part...

Photo Update

Hi. My name is Cathy and...

I'm a lame blogger. Sorry about that. So many things have happened since we last spoke, most important of which is KU won the National Championship. Woo woo! Dillon is still adorable and is now sporting his very first shiner, earned on the playground in front of the swings. We had a visit from Peony and Addi this last weekend which was very fun - the mommies even had a nice quiet dinner just the two of us. Steve could possibly be the nicest husband ever. Let me see what I have for pics tonight...

March Madness

It's about time spring arrived! I'm sure it's not done snowing here, but for now it's sunny and in the 60's. Yay! Jackie - I have the same feelings about the spanking, but when they can't talk it's the easy thing to do. I've pretty much resisted and Dillon has returned to his normal lovable self. Whew. I think I was just being paranoid. Now, instead of hitting, he refuses to kiss me. I say "Can Mama have a kiss?" and he turns his little head and says "Nooo." Although it makes me a little sad, it's actually pretty darned cute. He always changes his mind later and puckers up. He also said "I love you" the other day. It was more like "Wuh woo" and it was to Steve, but I think it still counts. I'm so excited for all the words that have started coming out of his mouth!

Another thing...

I am so in love with the song Hallelujah lately. I've always loved the Jeff Buckley version (it's actually #1 on my top 5 songs of all time), and I've recently discovered several other worthy versions. Would it be weird to make a playlist of just covers of this song? In other news, Dillon has started displaying his temper. I'd been keeping my fingers crossed that he wouldn't have one, especially since he's the happiest, most chill kid ever. Then today I did something he didn't like and he gave me a mad face and then hit me. Three times. In fact, the more I held his hand down and said no, the more he hit me. Awesome. He went straight into the crib for time-out, since I didn't really know what else to do and needed to put him somewhere before I did something I would regret. If this keeps up, I think he's going to get really familiar with spanking, unless someone has a better idea...

Insomnia

Since I now officially am an insomniac, maybe I will keep up with blogging a little better. I am currently enjoying the musical talents of Imogen Heap - check out the video below to see some amazing talent. Even if it's not your style, it's pretty amazing.
