About Me

Mommy and Daddy say I am their little miracle man because I'm the baby who, statistically speaking, should have never been.
When my parents first met, my Daddy decided he wanted to have babies with my Mommy. They met in the summer of 1998 but didn't become an actual couple until December 29, 2004.
Due to health issues, the doctors had told Mommy she would have a 30% chance of getting pregnant if she took fertility drugs. After taking birth control religiously for nearly 7 months, my parents discovered [on their 6 month anniversary] that Mommy was 7 1/2 weeks pregnant with me.
That is why they said I am an unquestionable gift from God. And because of the way things went between them for all of those years, and the way I entered their lives, they said I was destined to be. So, they decided to name me Destin, which means 'destiny or fate'. Although, they usually call me 'Bubba'.
I'm growing so fast and doing more things every day. I've had quite a personality since the day I was born. Even in the womb, actually. I blew kisses during ultrasounds and head-butted the ultrasound machine. I'm also a very strong little boy who stays happy. I only fuss when I actually need something or I am very tired and just don't want to sleep because I'm having too much fun being with my family. Mommy is thankful that I'm not a whiny boy. So is my Grandma, Shirley, because she doesn't like cry-babies. (haha) There are a lot of people in my family and they love me very much. I love them, too.

My Interests

Eating, burping, drooling, chewing on everything, pooping, going splishy-splashy in my bathtub, kicking my feet, holding hands, smiling, making noise, being cute, playing "Super Baby" with Daddy, hanging out in my circus & aquarium, crawling up the stairs, jumping, playing with my toys (especially the Weeble-Wobble Treehouse & Tikes Blvd. Traffic Light), dancing in my crib, watching boxing, watching movies, spending time with family, beating up Daddy & sleeping on Mommy.

I'd like to meet:

(¯`·._.·[Ma'hala Grace]·._.·´¯)
It shouldn't be too much longer before I find out for sure if she is my biological big sister...but no matter what, we're connected.

Music:

Whatever Mommy & Daddy are listening to. I bob my head to the beat. And no matter what lullaby Mommy sings, I love it.

Movies:

I like movies with a lot of big noises & a lot of movement. And, for some unknown reason, some of my favorites are Ernest Goes To Camp, Brokedown Palace, O Brother Where Art Thou, Mission Impossible 2, Indecent Proposal & Walk The Line. I also love the Martin Lawrence: You So Crazy dvd.

Television:

My favorite thing on TV is boxing. One night, when I wouldn't sleep, Daddy kept switching channels. I was being fussy until he turned on boxing. As soon as it came on, I calmed down and stared at the TV. Once that fight was over, Daddy changed channels again. And, again, I got fussy. Until he turned it back to boxing. I wouldn't stay calm unless he left it on, and didn't go back to sleep until I'd watched 4 fights. Other than that, the shows that are currently my favorite are Backyardigans, Jack's Big Music Show, SpongeBob Square Pants, Wonderpets, Oswold & Fireman Sam.

Books:

I like the stories Mommy reads me about the puppy & about the noises outside at night.

Heroes:

Whoever gets me out of my crib, changes my diaper and feeds me. I am especially fond of anyone who takes the baby gate down and lets me race up the stairs, too!
