Dylan is one - MY LAST BLOG POST!!!

Today is Dylan's first birthday. I was on vacation Thurs and Fri and Laura didn't have to work last night. Since I didn't have to work this weekend (THANK GOODNESS!) I offered to go over Laura's this afternoon so she could take a nap before working tonight. Usually if I'm not babysitting him Friday, mom goes over on Saturday. However, mom has been going every Saturday since I've been working. So I wanted to repay her today. Poor Jeff worked like 70 hours this week so I asked if I could have Dylan sleep over tonight so Jeff could recover. Mark and I went out to dinner to our favorite restaurant and took D with us. He was such a good boy!!

Today is his first birthday!! Today is also my last blog post on this website. I've decided it's too hard to keep up with both blogs, so I am going to just post Dylan stuff on my regular blog.

What's in here?

Playdate with Lil P

Laura went over Crystal's house with Dylan for a playdate. They had a blast!!

Taking steps

Sorry I haven't blogged on D Man's website in a while. I blame Laura though - she hasn't been taking as many pictures as she used to. :) I am not that much better, I took a few pics and a video but didn't get a chance to upload them yet. Dylan is standing now without assistance. He can stand there for a good little while too! Even more exciting are the steps he's taking. Laura and I sit on the floor, and he walked two or three tiny steps over to me!! When you let go, you kinda have to stabilize him so he finds his balance. Then, he just goes! How great to see!! My dad said he'd be walking before his first birthday. We'll see...

Happy Halloween

Mouthing

Dylan's new thing is putting everything in his mouth and crawling around with it. It's very cute. Love, Aunt Linda

Boy oh boy...this eating business is messy!

D's 9 month pics

We always have a blast when Dylan comes over.

Don't you love how pictures capture the moment and things you wouldn't normally see. Blarney is of course on my lap-he's on the right.

The house turns into complete chaos on babysitting nights. Check out the floor-shoes everywhere, Dylan's toys and Blarney's toys spread all about (there's that beheaded chicken I blogged about earlier)! We don't have a DVD player, we just use the Play Station-which Dylan loves to play with the controller. He takes my stack of papers by the laptop and throws them all over the table.

Love, Aunt Linda

D likes my blog

Dylan likes my blog. Here he is playing the bubble popping game. He also loved to eat the mouse. Love, Aunt Linda

Thanks Crystal

Thanks to Crystal for this jacket. It's one out of a huge bag of Lil P's clothes that she gave Laura. Love, Aunt Linda

Tongue!

I think I mentioned this before, but Dylan always has his tongue out. How cute is this pic? Love, Aunt Linda
