Sitting!

That's right, as of approximately November 20, Dylan can sit by himself on the floor!!! Check him out!

Happy Birthday Uncle Dave and Aunt Michelle!

On Sunday, we celebrated Uncle Dave and Aunt Michelle's birthdays at Mimi and Papa's house. It was great seeing everyone, although we missed Aunt Lisa, Uncle Brian, Katie and Grace - they were sick:(

Dylan got to spend some quality time with Papa - now that Papa is no longer scared of breaking him!Isabelle and Scarlett were great at helping Uncle Dave eat his cake!

Dylan can't have cake yet, so he settled for his thumb.

6 Months!

Can you believe Dylan is already 6 months old?! I still find myself referring to him as a newborn but he certainly isn't a newborn anymore! While this makes me a little sad, it's also very exciting to watch Dylan grow and develop. His feisty (if not a little high strung:) personality and chatty ways (he knows how to to tell us what he needs!) continue to remind us that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Watch out for when he learns to walk and talk. Not sure we'll ever be able to stop him! He is still working on rolling and is super close to independent sitting.He loves to stand with support which isn't suprising - being upright allows him to see what's going on and, as we know well, he just never wants to miss a thing!
Poor sign:( It didn't stand a chance with our little muncher.

Dylan likes them apples...

Apparently, he's a big fan.

Note: We only put him in the BeBe Pod on the table when we're watching him very closely!! We're not those parents:) Oh, and in the video I say he wanted nothing to do with the guacamole this morning. I meant to say avocado - lol!

Okay, that's all for the disclaimers. Enjoy the cuteness!

Class of 2030

Will Dylan be an Eph?

Or a Jumbo?

Maybe Williams for undergrad and Tufts for grad school...Or maybe we'll let him figure it out when the time comes:)

Happy Halloween!

When Dylan was born, he reminded me (a bit) of a lizard, or some other reptilian creature. A very cute and cuddly reptilian creature:) He had these big eyes and would just stare at the things around him, taking it all in. When he finally blinked, he would do so verrrry slowly. So, I decided we should dress him as a lizard for Halloween. I saw this "little monster" costume and figured it was the closest we'd find. So here he is: Mommy's little lizard monster.

Oh yeah, and Daddy's monster too:)

To celebrate the big day, Dylan and I met our Earthy Mamas group (more about them in another post) at the mall and did a little trick or treating. Being at the mall made it a little less weird to parade our tiny babies around in strollers asking for candy. But only a little. Dylan and I didn't get much candy because I felt a little weird asking for candy for "my baby". Who only eats breastmilk and mushy cereal. Lots of fun nonetheless!

Here's Dylan and me with some of our buddies. And yes, that's another little monster on the left - Dylan's friend Owen had the same costume.

Another First!

Dylan's first experience with cereal was on Oct 21!! I made it a bit too watery this first time, but that didn't seem to bother Dylan...
