What's up with Dylan?

Dylan is walking! It's so exciting - he just wants to run and play with all the other kiddos and with his cousins visiting from Latvia for three months (starting Nov. 2nd - wahoo!) he'll have plenty of time for that. He also has lots of new words, he says his name when he sees a picture of himself, he says moon and he and Ryan go see it every night before bed, mickey mouse, duck, pat-pat (from Little Einsteins), sings the "Hot Dog" song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and he is at that age of the never ending no, no, no... It's so funny when he says it and he can be quite serious about it too, but he does NOT like it when we tell him no, he gets very upset. I really love to see him form his own opinions and express them!

He also got his first haircut this summer. I totally documented the whole thing but didn't keep any of his hair - what was I thinking!?!


Here he is sending his balloons around the world on his birthday. Lincoln - did you get them??

He watched them for a very long time...


The one year checkup, finally 20 pounds and a full 30.5 inches - wow!


Here he is helping Grandma Thomas AKA Ya-Ya (named by first grandson Lincoln) blow out her candles.


He's not a great eater and usually I will try to feed him spoon and fork food but let him feed himself finger food. I thought maybe letting him try the spoon with mashed potatoes would work - as you can see very little made it to his stomach.

Ha ha ha! That is disgusting! I love the picture of him watching the balloons fly away! So precious.
