Well Matt has made it safely and is already flying!  We have only spoken on the phone and skyped a handful of times mostly due to the time difference.  They have started their mustache growing and I must say its not my favorite look.  I dont think Dean is much of a fan either! Matt will have to send me updated pictures so that Dean can recognize his daddy and not be scared! :)  He said it is a fairly beautiful place with giant mountains.  Listening to him describe his flights weaving through the mountains make me nervous!  So please keep him (and myself) in your prayers!  :)

Dean Sharing something funny

Smiling at all the people walking by

He starting getting tired once we reached hour 2 of waiting for Matt to board

and he wakes with smiles:)

we got home and Dean had a package full of books on the doorstep:)

Dean and I decided to take a last minute trip to Arkadelphia for July 4th.  His daycare was closed and we needed a change in scenery after Matts absence.  We only stayed for two days but it was nice to get out of the house for a little bit.

Dean Playing with the flag he was given at his dad farewell 

Being silly at Gigi's pool

Distracting Grandma at work

He LOVES mirrors!  He just cracks up at himself

He prefers the sink at Gigi's. Silly boy.

Ever since Matt left, Dean has been a little more clingy.  Im not sure if he is teething or if he is can tell that something different.  He is sleeping longer at night, eating pureed foods, rolling over more, and bouncing a lot:)

Here is a video of dean playing with his mirror and bouncing:)

Well I have a care package to get mailed!!  I hope you all have a wonderful week!
