Dean-o

My Little 17 month-old stud

Weighs just under 30 lbs

Talks on a phone as much as a teenage girl

Tougher than his brothers combined

Shakes his booty to any beat

Gives open mouth kisses

Likes to pull me in a closet, shut the door, and then "sh" me repeatedly so no one can find us

Can out eat any family member at any meal

The best 'duck duck goose' player and 'hide and go seek' finder

Is catching up in size to his older brother 

 Prefers fruits and vegetables over crackers and bread

Assumes he owns mom's lap and tends to push off anyone else who sits in it

Words he says often: more, daddy, mommy, pup (up), down, show, ball, side (outside), shoe, roar (dinosaur), bath... and repeats a lot of what we say. 

Needs to be a part of whatever brothers are doing, even if it means unknowingly playing the bad guy and getting pulled around and tied up by super hero brothers. He goes along for the ride.

Likes to snort like a pig again and again till he gets a laugh out of mom or dad

Will hit someone on the head just so he can then kiss it better

Will answer to 'Dean-o'

Best carpet belly flopper

Is the first to fold his arms for family prayer

Always lays his head on my shoulder for a long time after naps and in the morning
