that deegan oliver HEIM

It's official, Deegan is a Heim child ... fearless, a dare devil and prone to accidents. It's not good when daycare consistently reports that when another kid falls off something Deegan is the first to get on it to show he can master whatever it was (sounds like his father if you ask me).

Sitting is for sissies per Deegan

King of the mountain ... good thing he has his sandals on or he may not have made it

If he is going to sit on his car he must laugh in the face of danger as he rides on the "hood". Little does he know, mommy is holding him on with her dear life!

The tide has turned and I am finally tanner then Tara. I do have to say I am proud of her as she is our 2010 Bronco's Cheerleader Captain. YEAH!

Unlike his father, Deegan is not allergic to horses ... he is a true Indian boy ;) He makes his dad feel better by riding fake one's as well.

Kids for the cure. That was the longest 5K walk of our lives! Next time Eric needs to buck up and run.

2nd date - Mommy still holds the first but Miss Emily is a good runner up for his love.

We always love when the Brit's come to town. They treat us like family and we cannot wait to make the trip to England to pay them a visit with Tim and Tracey.

Date night @ a wedding in Black Hawk for my partner in crime at work. Congratulations Heather!

Better late than never

So, as many of you know, Deegan has had the ability to stand but for some reason kept deciding not to try to walk. We were a little concerned about his left hip for a while, but the doctors said he was ok, and just had a 'bad habit' using his walker toys. Anyways, he finally decided to take off walking, we caught it on tape... ENJOY!

No Rest for the Weary

I know this sounds like a common theme, but holy cow we do not have any spare time! Between getting ready for the new house, vacations and an increased work demand I am surprised we find time to see each other!

This summer is flying by and we are about ready to close on our new house. To be exact we close in 10 days (July 29th) and we could not be more excited. Of course I am a perfectionist and want everything in its place and the right color immediately but I am pretty sure we will not find the time or money to make it happen. I'll just have to load up on some vitamins to chill down my OCD!

On another note, I have decided it is way easier to post more frequently then 1 large post once a month. Way too much happens and I end up spending hours putting this together because that darn OCD kicks in and I have to post in order. With that said, I cordially invite you to catch up on our lives over the last month!

We have a water baby! I had another picture of him that was adorable but I accidentally deleted it and could not find the will to add it back because it is a pain in the butt. Soooo, this will do but please know ... not as cute!

Oh the things we do to make Bug happy. Grandma even sticks her face in 'pee pool' to blow bubbles ... now that is love!

It was raining one day and Deegan loved it. We would dip him in and out of the drops and he just laughed.

He has some long hairs in this photo. It was time for a hair cut a few weeks ago but the kid does not sit still. I would prefer long hair over a lost ear. We DID FINALLY find a place that does a great job with kids (and Daddy) so we have this hair under control now.

Happy with my baby

Deegan has issues with textures and grass is one of those textures he does not like. his face and body posture paints the perfect picture. Daddy was torturing his baby by setting him down in the grass and mom just took it a step further by taking a picture.

This is Bug eating Grandma's nice and expensive, decorative balls that bleed dye all over his mouth. He thinks when we say no it is a game ... this could be an issue.

MUSH DADDY! MUSH!

We think it is pretty fun to ride around the yard in our wagon. Please ignore my white legs ... they did get tanner when we went to FL (you will see shortly).

Dancing with Grandpa

For Father's Day we went out to breakfast then to a park to swing and play on the slide. Here is a family pic.

Our baby MONKEY

El RETARDO!

This is my fearless HEIM child that just climbs up to the slide, swings his feet around and goes for it without any support. God help me and the countless doctors we will be visiting.

Monkey see; Monkey do... Deegan started to eat his Crayon and Daddy quickly followed!

Bugs first date. I knew he would always love me more then any other girl!

First LolliPop

We went to Fort Lauderdale over the 4th of July to visit my grandparents and aunt, uncle and cousins. Deegan loved the ocean though this face really does not show it. The only problem was blowing bubbles. That water tastes BAD and he kept trying to get the salt water off his tongue.

Floating out to Sea

Hanging out with grandpa in the CALM water.

Bug and Eric loved Grandpa's wheel chair ... anything with an engine will do.

Eric checking the temperature. Pretty sure it is perfect.

Remember my texture comment above, well sand happens to be one of those textures he hates as well. We had to fill a baby pool with fresh water and set it on the sand 10 ft from the ocean. What we do for this child is unbelievable!

View from our room

Bug loves dessert and does best when he eats it with a straw ;)

Bug being silly with Grandma

The week we got back from FL was a crazy one. I had 2 HUGE presentations and Eric was swamped then on top of that Bug got sick. We ended up going to the ER because his fever was so high. It turns out he had a double ear infection so we got some medicine and some more drugs and off we went to our cabin the following weekend. He did not feel awesome but was definitely a trooper.

We went on the boat and Deegan thought the life vest was ridiculous! It was a little too big and was squeezing his checks. It looked hilarious but made for a grumpy baby.

We were enjoying our selves but get a load of grump master flex and those poor cheeks!

This was pre life vest so he was a little more pleasant but really just wanted to get in the water.

Get a load of that snot-bubble! I was soooo impressed and it was pretty darn funny to see it inflate then deflate. Poor sick baby hanging out in long johns and a monkey sweater.

This is Miss Penny who is the newest addition to the Schillinger Family. My dad and step mom bought her a few weeks ago and you should see her and Deegan go at it. Penny has a sock fetish, specifically baby socks!

FINALLY, our house is almost complete! YIPPEE! The paint color is not what we expected but we can change that sometime down the road. We are just super excited to move into our new home.

Hello Strangers

Yes, it has been awhile friends since I have last posted a blog ... and that is not due to being lazy! We have been sooooo busy the last few weeks that I have not found anytime to get onto the computer to share what has been going on.

Just to catch you up, we were able to rent out our townhome (and moved out with only 2 weeks notice ... oh did I mention Eric had to travel 8 of those 14 days and we had Deegan's First Birthday party in the middle?) On top of that, our new house is behind schedule so we are currently living back in Highlands Ranch with my mom for the next month or so. We also started Deegan in a new daycare (which we LOVE) and now have to commute from Highlands Ranch, down to Castle Rock to drop him off and then back to HR or the Tech Center (depends who drives). Ummmm, well ... that is just a sample of the craziness we call life in the Heim Household. I know there has been much more but I am too tired to remember.

On a positive note, we are all doing great! Deegan is growing and developing so fast that I just want to pause life so that I can enjoy and remember every moment. He is my tall skinny at only 19 lbs and 32 inches long (I think that is correct for the height). He has Eric and I wrapped around his little finger and it just might be my favorite place to be!

I did have to go in chronological order for this post because I was so far behind and I needed an organizational method :)

It was little Giana's birthday a couple weeks before Deegan's so we went up to Fort Collins to celebrate with the Meglan's. It is amazing that we were once taking pictures of our bellies and now we have two amazing little people and Julia has another on the way ... 6 weeks away! Pray for her!!!

Oh the daddy's! I am pretty sure Giana is giving the stink eye in this picture. Girlfriend knows she needs to keep those Heim's in check.

Good grief ... I am in love with the most handsome boys ever!

Julia and I with the babies ... hard to believe what happens in 1 year.

Some of Bug's favorite things: Eric and I and not sure why our child has so many toys because he really does not need them. Why you ask? Well, any household item will do ... or as shown above, a sun beam can be at leaset 30 minutes of fun. He would try to touch it, crawl through it and eat it. El Retardo!

I am pretty sure Eric and I are on the phone too much with Deegan around because he is always immitating us. We finally had to go buy him his own phone because ours were taking a beating!

Bug LOVES ice cream! Not sure if that happened because I ate so much of it while pregnant or if it is just genetic but this was his first trip to the ice cream store. Funny thing is he and Grandpa Chris have the same goatie ... down to the color!!!

LALALA just eating ice cream with my pinkie in the air!

Bug found it fun climbing in and out of the cabinets while we were packing.

Puppy dog needs a 3rd hand!

Foods in our hair make for crazy hair!

He thought it was funny to look at us upside down ... and I guess you could say we found it funny too.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!

He didn't love the cake or frosting but found the fork very entertaining and that is what made for such a mess. It was a great party with friends and family ... we could not be more blessed.

I just loved this silly smile!

Did I mention another one of Bug's favorite things was a broom? He tried to bring that thing with him everywhere ... even his tent.

Trying to crawl with it behind the ottoman but it was not going as planned ... hence grumpy face.

Daddy Interruption!!! Mommy was too tired to finish this posting, so Daddy is taking over. Although he (or I) will be speaking in both 1st and 3rd person, best of luck keeping up with that!

Oh ... another one of Bug's favorite things: a suitcase! As we were packing our clothes for the move we got all of our suite cases out...

For some reason Daddy decided to 'drive' him around on the suitcase for about 5 minutes, tried taking him off and was introduced to a whole new kind of temper tantrum. Needless to say, Deegan did everything short of sleep on the suitcase that night!

Thirsty?

For some reason Daddy was trying not to prove he is not getting chubby, and squeezing into the baby pool with Deegan was somehow supposed to prove this point???

Deegan's 1st time in his baby pool, LOVES IT!!!

After 5 minutes... he REALLY LOVES it!!!

Daddy said he tried hard one morning to get pictures of Deegan with his '12 months' sticker on his chest. Since he doesn't sit still anymore, it must have been harder than it sounds...

At least in this one your can read the '12 month' sticker, well, sort of...

And lastly, our new house is well on it's way. Of couse with any construction project there has been a few minor issues, but after talking to the correct supervisor, all is taken care of and our stress level has dropped dramatically. This pictures is a couple weeks old, so hopefully we can get a new one soon, as of this week it has siding, garage doors, etc.

We are looking forward to moving into our new home, and will keep you posted!
