Chillin' in my Jungle Jumper!

Dane and Granny

Words can not describe how much he loves his Granny! She loves to rock him in the wee hours of the morning. They are definitely best friends!

Then and Now. Dane's First bath in the hospital nursery and then taking a bath by his Mommy. Which one do you think he enjoyed more?

Brock and Mia hugging after a disagreement! Never would have known they were ever upset..right?

My little cutie!

Grandpa Jim and Dane

Grandpa Jim came to visit me on Saturday, Oct. 20th. He loves me so much! I'm his 7th grandchild.

Karianne loves me!!

Karianne really is so nice to me. She wants to hold me all day long and is going to really help mommy take care of me. She is so pretty, too!

Snug as a Bug

Me and Brock

Notice my eyes are totally covered up. I was wondering "Where did everybody go?"

Chilling with my Daddy!

Recovering with Mommy!

Dane hanging out with me in our Recovery Room. He is so happy all the time. We love him so much!

Me and my big sister, Mia!

My big sister, Mia, loves holding and kissing me. She told Granny that she was going to "kiss me all day and all night until Christmas"!

Operating Room

Mommy and I meet for the first time!!

Mommy is so happy to see me finally.

When mommy walked into the Operating Room, sat on the table and hunched over to get her spinal medicine, the song "Play that Funky Music, White Boy!" was playing quite loudly, then "Brick House" came on. By the time mommy laid down and the medicine kicked in "Super Freak" was playing. Finally, when I came out, I was welcomed to "Get Down On It" by Kool and the Gang. So, naturally mommy and daddy were both thinking of uncle Steve Banegas since they jammed to all those songs with him a few years back, and changed my middle name from Jacob to Stephen. (He spells it Stephan, but Mommy liked the way Stephen looked better) So, it was definitely a scary time for mommy, but hearing the fun music brought back good memories and made my first moments in the world pretty interesting. Now that I'm here, I'm going to "Get down on that" nummies. Bye for now!!

Finally...there are Six Stantons!!

Hi everybody! My name is Dane Stephen Stanton.

I was born on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 12:717pm.

I weighed 9 lbs 5.4 ozs and was 19 1/2 inches long.

I have what seems to be blondish-brown hair and blue eyes!

I love my Mommy, Daddy, big sissies Karianne and Mia, and of course, my stud of a brother, Brock. My Granny is here helping take care of me and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world!! I love all my family and can't wait to meet everyone soon!!
