The McLarty Family: July 2008

Well it has already been three months. Its hard to believe that this much time has gone by. Dylan is doing great. He started daycare full time this past week, which has been pretty hard on us, especially Jessica. He has really enjoyed himself while there. They did body painting on Wednesday, in which they put a bunch of paint on a piece if paper and then let all the babies roll around in it. Dylan was blue and green all over. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of it, but it was very cute. We think he is about 13 1/2 lbs. right now, but we don't trust our scale to much. His next doctors appointment is August 18th for his four month check up, so we will find out then I guess. Anyway, that about it for now, here are some more pictures.

Yes it does taste better than my milk.

oh, it's my daddy!

Sorry it has been so long since we posted any knew news and pictures. We have been going non-stop for the last month or so. We have been to three weddings and traveled many miles, but made it through with no problems.

I will be putting a whole bunch of pictures up or the next couple of days. We have so many that I don't think I can put them all on one post.

As for Mr. Dylan. He has been plugging along. We have not been to the doctor since his two month check-up and wont go until four months, so we don't know exactly how much he weighs but from our scale he's somewhere between 12 1/2 and 13 lbs. It is truly amazing the rate at which they develop. He found his hands about two weeks ago, so of course they won't stay out of his mouth, but he has also started grabbing things, like some toys, his bottle, an stuff like that. It is really cool watching the progression.

This week was a very big week for all three of us. Dylan started day-care on Wednesday. We finally chose which one we wanted a couple of weeks ago, and went and had the intro meeting on Tuesday. His day-care is really nice and we think he will really enjoy going there to play and learn. Jessica starts back to work on Monday, so she is the one that has taken him and picked him up this week, but most of the time she will drop-off and I will pick up. Needless to say Wednesday was very hard for Jessica, it was the first time she had ever left Dylan for such an extended period of time, and with someone that wasn't family, but she is handling it pretty good now two days in. That's about all the big new right now, if I think of anything else I will add it to the other posts with the pictures.
