Here are some pictures from over the holidays. Dakota loved Christmas. I'll have to admit, this was probably the funnest Christmas I can remember... all because I got to watch him explore and get so excited over the simplest things. Again, like his birthday, I realized that we could have wrapped up some boxes and put bows on them... and Dakota would have been a happy little clam. This other picture (to the left) happened when I decided to cook some dinner. We have a gate on our kitchen to keep Dakota out, so he ruled the roost for about a half hour. Well, I forgot that I left his diaper bag open. Who knows, maybe I didn't forget. I just didn't think that it would be so entertaining to tear it to shreds. Here, he's bending over to eat some marshmallows off the floor (sometimes he thinks he's a doggy). What a kid.
