15 Months!

I decided to do the bear pictures every three months :)

Dear Time,

Please please please slow down!

Love, Dylan's Mom

Most days my baby boy doesn't seem like a baby anymore!  I dunno when children go from baby to toddler, but I fear we're fast approaching it (if it hasn't happened already!)  I'm holding to the fact he is not a toddler until he starts walking, and since he still shows very little interest in that, he's still a baby.  With that said, no rush on the walking business little one (even if everyone around you thinks it's time you get to it!)  Dylan is so full of life and has the most darling little personality, as well as one heck of a temper!  We wouldn't want him any other way and I pray every day that he knows just how loved he is!    

Stats:
Weight - 19 pounds 5 ounces - below the 1st percentile (my tiny little thing!)
Length - 31.1 inches - 48th percentile
Head - 47.7 centimeters - 66th percentile

Facts/Accomplishments:
He got his first "professional" haircut (a lady I know does my hair from her home, and that's who cut his hair)
He is all boy and plays super rough - pinching, pulling, kicking, etc. but it's near impossible to get mad because he also throws a few hugs and kisses in there!
He is constantly saying "uh, uh, uh" and pointing at whatever it is he wants
He's joined the rest of the world and laughs every time mom sneezes
When he wants to give you a kiss he'll either grab your cheeks or both sides of your hair and pull your face to his
He has a serious case of the gimmies!  Every aisle of every store has something he wants!
He's super shy around other kids and a total push over - when someone takes the toy he's playing with he just finds another one
He is officially the best little flyer!  Twice now he's slept all the way to and from Boise!
He has a horrible sweet tooth that gets indulged way too often!!
He is quite the little climber and has figured out how to get himself up onto the couch
When laying down to nurse/take a nap he starts giggling and sounds a little bit like a drunk (ha!)
When he's really pleased with something he slaps his knees and when super excited he screams

Likes:
Emptying and filling bins - all day long!
Playing with balls and books
He loves balloons!
LOVES all animals but especially elephants!
Playing with his cousins - he loved playing with them both in Boise
Holding pretty much any and all toys, phones, and remotes up to his ear and pretending they are a phone
His new favorite food is spaghetti
He loves playing with his Grandpa!
Pulling on the puppies ears, paws, and tails (we are working on learning to pet nice!)

Dislikes:
Getting dressed - specifically getting shirts pulled on over his head!
Bath time - if he could just splash in the water he'd be fine, but he hates getting washed!

Happy Day of Love!




This little guy melts my heart every day

Cousins

We tried a few times to get pictures of all the cousins together, but this is no easy task when you have a newborn, 1, and 3 year old!  I declared one day a cousin photo shoot day - it did not exactly work out as planned, but we still managed to get some cute valentine themed photos!  I can't imagine it will get any easier with age, but that won't stop us from trying again in the future (multiple times, I'm sure)!  I sure do love these three little ones and super loved spending a week with them in Boise!!  











And a few non "photo shoot" photos!



We hear ya Lucas - we'll stop!

And of course we needed a picture with Grandma & Grandpa!!


Lilli insisted Grandpa get under the table with her, Dylan followed, and so we added Lucas to the mix!
  These kiddos sure do love their Grandpa!!

Cousin Lilli

At Christmas time Dylan was a little leery of his cousin Lilli - she is after all a ball of energy!  This trip, however, he LOVED her!  Dylan had a blast chasing her around the house, playing with her, and just laughing at her silliness.  It was so so fun to watch these two play together!  Lilli just kept telling me how much she loved her cousin Dylan.  I hope these two will for always be friends!






 


We love you little Miss Lillian!

Baby Lucas (swoon!)

Dylan and I finally made our way to Boise to meet baby Lucas.  It is safe to say we were both smitten with him!  Such a sweet baby, hardly made a peep (unless getting his diaper changed) and was so good to let me snuggle on him, and Dylan touch all over him!

  We are SO HAPPY to have little Lucas in our family and are super excited for Jana and Vinnie! 

 





I promise Dylan did not punch Lucas, even if this photo would lead you to believe otherwise!  Ha!
