Dylan and Santa

New Hat

I just finished Dylan's new winter hat. I am working on a sweater to match....hopefully I will get it finished before spring...

Success!

Dylan was a big fan of Santa this year. He needed to tell him that he wanted trucks for Christmas. I can't scan the picture we got, but here are some of him and his friend Alexa on their way to Santa.

Leaps and Bounds

Dylan had his 2 year old checkup today. The doctor came in and asked him how old he was and he smiled and answered "2!"

At his 18 month checkup he was in the 25% for both height and weight. He obviously did some hard work over the past 6 months - he is now in the 90% for height (I know - I asked twice) and 50% for weight! He was 37.5 inches tall and 28 pounds. Doctor said he looks great.

He was a perfect patient and let the doctor look in his eyes, ears and even said 'ahhh' when he looked in his mouth.

Next step - pediatric dentist appointment - yikes!

EDIT: I have tried to duplicate these hight results and I think he may have been standing on his tiptoes.....I can only get to 34.5 inches. That is about 50% - which makes more sense.

Bedtime Routine

This is what we do every night for bedtime.

and he sleeps like this

Fall Day

We were outside while Anthony was doing leaves today.

He did some sliding

He rode the tricycle.

He laughed at daddy with the blower backpack on.

And he loves running up and down the hill in the back.

He also practicing his driving skills....not big on the steering yet....

Halloween

Some Halloween pics in case you missed it.

Build A Bear

On Dylan's birthday we went to Build A Bear on a playdate with his friends.

There was dancing:

There was hugging:

Dylan's new monkey: "Lightning McMonkey" got a bath:

It was a very cute little playdate

Happy Birthday Trucks

This video is from October 25. Dylan was very into birthdays that week. He was playing trucks on the floor and I asked him what he was doing. He told me the trucks were having a party. I asked what kind of party and he said "Happy Birthday!" Here is a video of the truck birthday party complete with some singing.

Monster! Scare Me! Ahhhhh!

Somehow Dylan learned that monsters scare you and you scream and run away. I don't think he actually knows what being scared is, but it's pretty funny. (The card he is holding has a monster in it.)

ABC March

Here is the famed ABC march. Notice the fake 'fall' that totally fooled Anthony!

Beginings

So, in order to post more pictures and share more videos I decided to start a blog. This way I can write more about what is going on in our lives and not worry about clogging people's email. Look here for pictures of events, funny videos, and updates on various craft projects I've been doing.
