Dylan's 6 month photo shoot

This Sunday we had Dylan's 6 (almost 7) month photo shoot with our amazing photographer, Brooke Mayo. Here is a link to all of the photos. It was so much fun!!

Cheap entertainment

Nana has a degree in early childhood development so she is the most creative person I've ever met. This old diaper box was waiting to be thrown out when she thought that it would make a great Choo Choo train. I came home from work to find Dylan being pulled around the den in this diaper box. He thought it was the best thing ever! Needless to say, we have been going for lots of train rides. Glad I haven't spent any money on toys!Dylan spends lots of time in his walker outside on the basketball court. I need to get a video of him because he runs so fast in this thing. He loves the freedom.

We had family pictures done on Sunday morning so I'll post a link to the site as soon as I have them. Can't wait!

Updates

We have lots of exciting updates! Dylan has slept through the night (7pm-7am) for 4 of the last 6 nights! He also had a top front tooth come through on Wednesday. He is starting to sit up by himself for a while before he topples over. He can sit up much longer than the video below. He's still working on crawling and I am fully expecting him to be mobile with another week or two.

It's a matter of time!

Oh boy! Dylan is up on all fours and rocking so you know what that means. I had to go stock up on all of the baby-proofing items we'll need when he gets mobile. It's just a matter of time before Ben and I are in big trouble! He is already into everything new so I can only imagine what trouble he's going to get into when he's crawling. Here are a few more recent pictures. Here we go!

Dad has titled this one "Tough Guy".

One of my favorite pictures of Ben and Dylan

Just love this one.

Bath time!

I've titled this one "George of the Jungle". Dylan is obsessed with leaves and loves pulling on every tree we pass by.

Feed that boy!

So we just got back from Dylan's 6 month check up and he did great! He's a tall, skinny string bean and in the 90th percentile for height and 53rd for weight (he was in the 75th percentile weight during his 4 month visit). The doctor pretty much gave us the go ahead to start feeding him more solids and even some of our table foods. I have a feeling things are going to get very messy really fast!

Fun at the farm

Dylan and I went to Nana and Papa's house (better known as the Funny Farm) on Saturday. Dylan wanted to hop on Maggie again now that he's bigger. He did a great job and I just know it won't be long until we are out riding together.
