Dietrich's # 1

One year ago from this morning at 6:17 am, Dietrich Mitchell Transtrum was born into our family. He has been such a blessing in our lives and a great source of laughter and happiness. We will be celebrating his birthday later today but I just wanted to write a little bit about him this morning. In Dietrich's first year on this earth he has learn a few things and as a proud father I want to share them.

1. Not only can he walk but he knows how to run
2. His favorite game is "lets chase and scare Dietrich until he laughs/cries"
3. He no longer likes baby food- only big boy food for him
4. He loves food more than anything else in the world and will do anything to get it
5. He prefers his dad over anyone in the world-even mom
6. When it is bed time he prefers his mom over anyone in the world- even dad
7. He knows American Sign Language for Eat, More, Drink, and Thank you
8. When you ask him where is nose is- 5 times out of 6 he points to his nose


9. Every time dad says "give mom kisses", he will find his mom and give her kisses
10. He now knows how to distort his face to make a sad face to get some pity- mostly laughs


We love Dietrich so much and are so thankful he was born into our family.




We were going to the Hogle Zoo today for Dietrich's Birthday but we got snowed in.
