Dylan Learns To Drive

Well I guess not completely driving yet, but as George Costanza so eloquently put it, "Well, I'm good at driving my car in reverse." There is also a little interaction with Dylan and his brother and sister, who if you watch closely towards the end of the video is being her typical Lilly self and tongue loving one of Dylan's cups.

And on a more serious note, Dylan is getting another tooth in the top of his mouth, that puts the grand total at 5 and counting.

We do not have any good video yet, but Dylan has begun to pull himself up onto the couch's and can sit on his knees for some time, quite exciting. More to come.

Dylan Eating

Here is little video showing Dylan's first real attempt at eating Cheerios and a little assisted walking. He did pretty good for his first time.

Dylan Crawling

As I mentioned in the previous post Dylan has begun to crawl. Here is a little video showing his progression from tummy time to full fledged crawling, hope you enjoy.

Almost Nine Month Update

I know it has been a really long time since we last updated the blog for everyone and we are so sorry. Needless to say much has happened since our Halloween update, so much so that I probably won't be able to recall everything in one sitting.

Dylan had to have tubes put in his ears about a month or so ago, he was having so many ear infections we finally just bit the bullet and had it done. It has helped drastically, he has had only two infections since then and they drain and go away fairly quickly. As far as other health related issues, nothing major just your run of the mill colds from the lovely Texas weather. He is currently going through a really good one now that has him upset and cranky, but what are you going to do.

As far as progress, the major thing is that he now crawling. He has been trying for several weeks now. He started off learning to flip from front to back, within a week or two he had learned to sit up from laying down, and on Thursday I was out washing the cars and Jessica came running out and said that he was doing it. Sure enough, he's not even messing a round. He sees where he wants to go and he's off. As you can imagine Samson and Lilly are thrilled, because not only is he after them now, he has found the long lost treasure trove of dog toy's. It is actually really neat because we thought he would do some sort of funny crawl but he is doing it the regular way. I have some video I will put up later.

The holidays have been great, both Jessica and I took off two weeks so we could have time to both travel to see family and relax at the house. As you can imagine Dylan pretty much cleaned up this Christmas with toys and clothes. He has so much to play with he doesn't know what to do with it all.

I think that should so it for now hope you enjoy the pictures and videos. Hope every one's holiday's were great.

Halloween

Dylan had a great first Halloween. We went down to our neighbors house and hung out on the driveway and handed out candy for the little kids there until it was time for Dylan to have dinner. He went to school on Friday in his pumpkin outfit and then was a monkey in the evening, which I guess are both pretty popular for the little ones. Here are some pictures we took of him, hope you enjoy. Also I have not forgotten about the videos, they will be coming soon.

Six Month Update

Sorry it has been so long since we last updated the blog for everyone. It has been extremely busy, both at work and with the family. Needless to say a lot has happened in the past few months. Dylan went to his six month check up yesterday and everything is coming along nicely. He weighed in at 16 lbs. 13 oz. He is a little on the small side weight wise, but not if you just look at the fat rolls he's accumulating.

As far as his other progress, it's been amazing. He can completely sit up now, with no problems. He has learned to roll from his back to his stomach, but not the other way yet. He is starting to scoot backwards a little while on his belly, but he mainly just turns in circles. The most amazing this is that he has gotten his first two bottom teeth. We figured he has been teething for a while because of all the drool, but he has not been fussy once, so we were really surprised this past weekend when we noticed them. Jessica noticed first, if you know what I mean.

Dylan is loving his daycare and all the friends he is making. Everyone thinks he is the cutest baby there, and of course we don't argue with them. He is also looking forward to Halloween. We are keeping his costume a surprise but I will put up pictures as soon as we have them.

The weather here has been greatly lately. Jessica, Dylan and I all did some body painting this weekend in the backyard. Dylan did most of it, while we just tried keeping from being to messy.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of months. I will have some video up shortly.

Dylan Eating

Here is a great video of Dylan eating his dinner. He has actually taken really well to food. We started him off with rice cereal and soon found that he did not like it too much. We then tried him with oatmeal cereal which he loves. He currently gets 2 table spoons in the morning and 2 at night. We have also introduced sweet potatoes, peas and carrots. He loves them all. I think we are doing green beans next, but am not sure. Hope ya'll enjoy.
