First Trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum!!

 Momma and Dee!  Excited to be at the museum!  It was one of the last days for "Jolly Days" at the museum, so the Yule Slide and Holiday decorations were still up!  As you'll see from the many subsequent photos, we had a really great time!!

 Mom and Dee with some of the cool decorations in the background!

 Taking it all in!

 Me and Dee in front of the giant snow globe!

 Me and Dee checking out the really awesome 4 story blown glass sculpture!

 Momma and Dee checking out the Barbie exhibit!

 On a plane to Egypt!

 Mom and Darian doing a little shopping at an Egyptian market.

 We jumped in the parade line.

 Momma said we weren't really supposed to be in the parade. Oops!

 Darian making me a Egyptian bracelet, complete with his own hieroglyphics!

 Darian in the driver's seat!

 Running wild!

 Mommy and Darian wrestling a crocodile on the banks of the Nile.

 Riding a Sphinx!

 We tried to stop and read him some history and teach him some facts, but he preferred to just run around!

 He absolutely loved the Indy Car!

 Heading into the 'Playscape'!  FUN!

 An indoor river with boats and balls! 

 Darian's idea of paradise!

 Fishing with his apron on!

 More paradise!  Giant sandbox!

 Cooking time in the play kitchen!

 Eating his concoction!

 Building a tower of giant blocks with momma!

 Bobcat time!

 Dee played with this little boy.  They were cute...although the little boy did push Darian once!

 Tunnel rat!

 Rock climbing!

 CAROUSEL!!!

 Snack time!  We were worn out!

Cookies and cuddling with my sweet son!  We had such a wonderful time! 

Being Dee...

Another cute outfit from Nana Mel.  Darian just being him...playing with his toys, having fun, and looking handsome with his beautiful momma!

Party time!

 Darian in his cute new outfit that Nana got him for Christmas!!  The cool Puma's on his feet were from Adam, Casey, and Fiona!!

 Such a happy little man...most of the time! ;)

 Still small enough to fit in one of his little toy boxes!  He loves to climb in this and have us pick him up and carry him around!

There's his new desk...a hand-me-down from Amanda and Jonah Thieman!

D. Lee D. Lee...cute as can be!!

 Mommy and Dee went shopping and he fell asleep in the car.  She brought him in, but he was so tired he didn't wake up!

 Sleeping Beauty...

 We moved his rocker/glider chair into the living room to make room for his desk in his room!  He loves sitting in it!

CHEESE!!! 

Dapper Dude...

 He figured out how to sit backwards in his chair!  I told him it was pretty cool.

 He was like, "Yeah...i know Daddy!"

 So I said, "Stop showing off and go to your room and get dressed."

He came back to the kitchen looking pretty dapper! :)

From DLee to BATBOY!!

 "Look how tall I am now Daddy!  I can touch the shelf!"

 "And stand on one foot...kind of..."

 "I'm ready for my transformation...my DESTINY!"

 "Hahaha!!  I am now BATBOY!!!  Na na na na na na na....BATBOY!"

 "I must take my magic medicine so I can grow big and strong and I can fill out my BAT SUIT!"

"Ah...yes!  I feel it working already!  Here I come!"

2011 is here!!

 Cuddling with Elmo!!

 Stole Mommy's phone!!  Intently trying to cause some kind of cell phone destruction!

 "NO!!  NO!! You can't have your phone back mommy!  It's mine!"

Baseball anyone?

2011 has started great!!   Darian just keeps getting more and more handsome...but he also is getting more and more ATTITUDE!!  He's had several time outs...mostly for throwing food at dinner, and for talking back!  Everything is "NO!", or "STOP IT"...of course he says these phrases because he is so used to us telling him NO and to STOP IT!  So, we have our parenting work cut out for us this year!  Despite his normal 20 month old, testing his boundaries, trying to get away with anything and everything, behavior...he really is a wonderful baby boy!  As always, I will keep you updated of our trials and tribulations as we continue to GROW a GREAT little GIRTON!

Darian Lee...Iced in and running wild!
