Carson Update!

Well, Carson has done quite a bit of growing up lately. He's crawling all over the place and pulling up onto everything. He can stand by himself and he'll even try to take a step by himself. You all should see him walking around behind his push toys! He's a little maniac! He recently learned to clap which Dayton finds a lot of fun and he's starting to wave. I can't believe how fast he's growing up.

We was just at the doctor for his 9 month well baby visit last week. He's doing great! Doc said the tubes in his ears look great and that he right on track with everything! He is weighing it at 20lbs 2 oz and is 29" long! That's 75th percentile for height and 40th percentile for weight. And for those of you who think he looks so much bigger than Dayton ... you're wrong! I looked back at my records of Dayton at 9 months and the two are almost identical.

Both boys visited spa de Mommy yesterday. So Dayton has a fresh buzz cut (which mommy loves) and Carson got his first trim. He was much harder than I remember Dayton being. We were easily able to distract Dayton with a baby einstein, but Carson didn't care. I somehow managed to get it done. In person you can tell, but it's really hard in the pictures. Believe me, his baby mullet is gone! He looks so handsome. My little men!

Ellie the Acadia

Mommy got a new red car!!!! The lease on the Envoy (Abby) was up in December so Eric and I "tagged" a GMC Acadia. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that we picked out a car that a GM executive had for roughly 6 months or so. Basically, you get a "new" car for a fairly discounted price. I think it's something like 15% off???? Anyway, we took advantage of the GMC lease pull ahead and bought the new one when the Acadia was available.

It's red, which is unusually for us. Lately all our vehicles are either white or silver. It's really nice ... and big. It has a third row seat that completely folds down flat. The second row is actually bucket seats so the boys are separated. It's pretty much pimped out. We've got a nav system and a rear seat entertainment system which Dayton totally digs! It's basically a people mover for those of us that have vowed to never own a minivan! Here are some pictures.

Game Day

Well, we are all excited about football starting! As I heard on Mike and Mike, football starting makes summer ending not seem so terrible! Anyway, just in case anyone isn't sure who us DiBiaso's root for ... here is a picture of the boys last Saturday ...



I've been working on Dayton to do the We are ... Penn State cheer. Sometimes he does it with me! I'll just keep on working. Here we are on Sunday ...



Too bad the Colts looked like crap. Thank goodness I gave up after the third quarter. Oh well, lets just hope that the Colts got it out of their systems and start kicking some butt this week!

This video is really cute too ... Dayton likes to hike the ball to Daddy. Enjoy!

Labor Day at Lake of the Ozarks!

Well, we decided to go on another "change of scenery" for the Labor Day holiday. The Dewes' invited us to join them at Denise's mom's condo on Lake Ozark. So we packed up all the crap and headed down there on Saturday. It took us a good 8 hours or more to get there, but the boys did really well. Everyone slept ok that night. We decided to make out first venture out on the boat Sunday morning around 10. Not sure if it was accident or not, but it happened to be right at nap time for Braeden and Carson. After a little bit of cruising ... this is what the two little ones looked like ...



While they were snoozin', Dayton was trying out his sea legs. Well, you know how he is with steering wheels so he was pretty much in heaven.



The timing worked out great. We played in the water until the little guys woke up and then we all played for a while. About lunch time, we grabbed some food and then headed back to the condo (about 1:30-2-ish). On the boat ride back, Dayton and Carson fell asleep! Braeden was usually shortly thereafter. Like I said, the timing worked out great so we did the same thing on Monday. Dayton had a ball in the lake. He especially liked climbing up the ladder to get back in the boat. Up and down, up and down.



All in all, it was a really fun trip. We headed back home on Tuesday afternoon. Compared to our trip to TN for Easter this one seemed like much more of a vacation than just a change of scenery! Not sure why and I really don't care. Thanks again Deweii!!!

Bath time!

Well, I guess our little baby isn't so little anymore. Carson is now big enough to bathe without his safer bather. So to expedite bathtime ... we're "throwing" the boys in the tub together. Check it out ...


As it turns out, Carson is a little maniac in the tub. He does not want to sit down and is all over the place checking things out. When he does sit down, he just splashes away getting us all wet! Dayton pretty much just does his own thing. We're not sure it's any easier to bathe them both at the same time. It is definitely quicker though! Fun times!
