3 pillows, a bed and a sleeping bag and he is out cold on the rug

YUMMY

Sean got the OK to start rice cereal so we broke out the high chair and gave it a go. He wasn't sure what to expect but he was excited about the cool new seat.

He did open up for the spoon

Then my helper wanted to give it a try. He did a pretty good job.

I'm not sure if he likes it or not...

But at least he keeps opening up!

4 months

Here's the monthly review...he is getting really big.

Happy Birthday Dylan

Dylan is learning to trace letters in school. Yesterday he got out his cards and started tracing by himself. Ok, so his B has something to be desired, but the rest of his letters are looking really good.

Three is a dramatic age, so we will just stick to the highlights.

Dylan 'helped' make his cupcakes

he tried out his new roller skates (the grass was a little easier than the street)

He got lots of great presents

He was happy when we brought out the dirt cake which was in a dump truck.

Family pictures are pretty much impossible right now...this is the best we got, which is pretty poor

and when it was all over he crashed in his sleeping bag on the floor of his room.

It's not easy being Sean

It's hard to be the little brother. You can be just laying on your tummy, working on lifting your head

and then BAM - your older brother gets you (no infants were harmed in the shooting of these pictures)

That brother pretends to be nice and sweet, but you know that arm could choke you at any moment, hence the look of fear.

Even kisses are suspect

and then your mom makes you sit in the same swing with him...seriously?

Happy Sean

Sometimes it is hard to get a good picture of Sean because his brother is "unintentionally" mangling his face...

But when he is alone, he is starting to play to the camera too...

Halloween Parade

Halloween parade at school today. Dylan dressed as Lula and they went trick or treating around the shopping center.

Sean wanted to be in the parade too
