Two Month Update

Well, yesterday was Dylan's two month birthday, if you want to call it that. We went to the doctor in the morning for his check up and shots, he had to have 5 vaccinations 4 of them we shots. He weighed in at 11 lbs. 6 1/2 oz., and 22 1/2 inches long. So he has grown 1 inch and like 2 lbs. 3 oz. in one month.

The doctor said that his thrush is almost completely gone, but we should continue the meds until Monday. She also said he looks great, so I guess we are doing something right.

As for the shots, Jessica did not want to even be in the room, but she toughed it out. The doctor does it so quickly that its over in just a few seconds, but when they stuck that first needle in Dylan turned beat red and almost stopped breathing for a second, it was a little scary to say the least, but he made it.

Here are some new pictures we thought y'all might like to see.


I have an X rated version that I can upload, but Jessica did not want it up.


We thought it only fitting that since Dylan loves to poo in his towels that he wear a Pooh towel


Jessica giving Dylan his evening meal, man it must be great to be able to lounge like that while eating


Is it just us or does he look more and more like an orangutan everyday or what.


We got excited at first because we thought he was learning to play with his pacifier, but he just fell asleep on it and was stuck


Man those shots made me tired


My mommy likes to take pictures up my nose for some reason, I think she doesn't want it to be as big as daddy's, so she is always checking





I'm ready for a hug

Udpate

I guess it's been a while since we have given you an update on how everything is going. Everyone has been doing great. We found out Dylan has Thrush last Monday, so he is on medication to treat that. Jessica has some medicine as well, but it is not too bad. When Jessica took him into the Dr. he weighed in at 11 lbs., so he is really gaining weight.

His official 2 month check-up is not till the 18th this week, but he turned 8 weeks on Friday and we were really excited.

We have been putting Dylan in his room for about two weeks now, and it has been going great. When we decided to move him from our room to his, we also decided to try and just let him fall asleep without us rocking and doing anything to him. The first couple of nights it took anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes for him to fall asleep, but the past few nights it only takes 5 minutes. We think since he gets a bath every night, then eats, and then we put him in his room, he is catching on to the routine. We just hope that it sticks, but its good for now.

Dylan has yet to sleep through the night either. We started giving him a little formula at his last feeding to see if he would stay asleep for longer. We feed him around 8:30 to 9 and he still wakes up between 1 and 3 to eat again. We are hoping that will slowly stretch out. Last night he wanted to get up at 3 but we were able to give him a pacifier and he went down for another hour or so.
We made our second out of town trip to Houston this weekend for a wedding, and it was little better as far as traveling because we did not have to bring as much stuff. It remains to be seen if his schedule will be thrown off or not because of the trip, but we'll see.

Here are a few update pictures, hope ya'll enjoy:

What a cute family (if you can't tell, Dylan has on his two piece pin-stripped suit. He was a hit with the ladies!)

Dylan's Play Time

We decided to try out Dylan in both his bouncer and on the tummy time mat agian, because he has become increasingly more alert over the past couple of days. Here are the videos that we took of him enjoying himself. Enjoy.

Updated Photos

Not much new to talk about. Dylan is growing like crazy, he hit 10 lbs. this weekend and has been a lot more alert. He has not quite gotten to the alert and not crying stage yet, so we are hoping it comes soon. Here are some new pictures we thought you would like to see.

Who's ready to go to Hawaii


Damn I'm cute


You talk'n to me!


I'm ready for my close-up


This is color coordination if I ever seen it (Jessica's late night run to Sonic)
