I can't believe it's been 16 years!

Happy 16th Birthday Dalton!

I know I've said it a million times...but I'm gonna say

it again...'I can't believe how fast they are growing up!'

Dalton was such a happy baby! His nickname was

(and still is) Pie...He was born 7 1/2 weeks early but still

weighed 5 lbs 13 oz. I remember during the night I would check to

make sure he was still breathing....he seemed so fragile...it became

such a habit that I would catch myself putting my hand on

Jeremy's chest to feel it rise.

When he learned to crawl, he would crawl on his fists...he
never opened his hands to put his palms on the floor. I am not
sure why...maybe he didn't like the way the carpet felt on
his hands.

He always wanted to be just like daddy. When we would

go to singings he would sing in to the microphones just like

his dad....

He loves sports...he's always been a little on the

aggressive side when it comes to competition :o}

(Not really sure who he gets that from~'his dad')

He absolutely hates his picture being taken!

(Now that one he gets from me!) When he sees me

pull my camera out he usually runs the other direction...

There are so many things I can say to describe Dalton...he

has a big heart, a good sense of humor (although I admit it is

slightly warped~that he gets from his dad ;o}) He can be very

emotional (that's another one of mine)...but tries not to let

it show.  He is the most serious one of the kids and he has a very,
very stubborn side...he hates being told what to do.  He's a natural 
leader... He can't stand bullies! He likes ties, but hates wearing
them and if he could...he would wear camo every day!

I still can't believe he's 16!

Happy Birthday Dalt! We love you!
