Favorite Thing: His flannel baby blanket (there's a cute story behind it! Dawson would not sleep for the first 6 months of his life unless he was swadled so tight you'd think he'd suffocate! Well since he was a rather large baby (20 pounds by 5 months!) none of his blankets were big enough to do the job, except for one. Well apparently because he spent so much time wrapped up in this blanket as a baby, he developed a real bond with it, and now carries it around with him almost all the time. Actually he only carries half of it at a time. Since the blanket was so big he was always tripping over it when he started walking, so it has since been cut in half!

Dawson has been a perfect addition to our already busy family. He never stops moving and if you try to stop him from exploring just watch out!! Although his Grandma calls him Mr. G (the G stands for grump) he actually is happy most of the time. The thing with Dawson is that there is no middle ground. He's either happy and laughing, or screaming and crying. And if he doesn't get his naps right on time, in his own bed, with his own blanket the name Mr. G really does suit him!
