All the time we have people stop us and tell us how Dylan looks a lot like the Gerber baby. To me, he does resemble the popular icon. What do you think?
Right now it's 6:45am . Dylan has been up and down all night. I think the weather change is getting the best of him. Normally he doesn't wake up til like 8:45ish/9:00ish am, but his nose has been a little stuffy and he can't seem to take his pacifier and breath at the same time. He wants his Pacifier in a bad way. He loves it. So our feet don't normally hit the floor this early (unless I am going to a 18 hr sale at the mall).
Earlier this week I captured the photo to the left. I saw a new mood from Dylan. I like to call this mood,"Let me out now or else". He wanted to play as soon as he finished his meal. Normally I put a few toys on the high chair and he is content for a few minutes. I do this so his food has time to settle in his stomach before he goes to playing and rolling around on the carpet. With his reflux, I find that waiting 10 minutes before playtime after a meal seems to keep his food in his tummy and not all over the floor,but on this rare occasion, he was not happy after eating his dinner and decided to toss all of his toys off the high chair and yell at me. I tried my best not to laugh at him. I didn't want to encourage this type of behavior, but it was funny. He was acting like the Incredible Hulk. The photo doesn't show, but he was trying his best to push the tray of the high chair. After taking my pictures, I told him (in a firm voice, never used towards him before) "Not Nice". He seemed to be upset at the fact I told him that. He cried a little then calmed down a bit. I placed his rattles and blocks back onto the tray. He played for a few minutes. Then I let him get on the floor and play.
Last Friday night we were getting ready for bed when Dylan started ringing the bell on his firetruck. It was the funniest thing. He needed a little assistance at the time picking up the string to the bell but, soon learned how to do it all by himself! Click on the arrow on the picture to the left to play the clip. Enjoy!
I noticed this past week that Dylan would go near the window and look out or wedge himself into odd places in our family room. Like for instance he would keep going between the table and sofa. So of course I was like, "Son what are you doing? You have plenty of room in the middle of the floor to play, why do you keep rolling over to these weird places that you don't need to be?" Then after relocating him like a half dozen times, I paused and thought, what exactly is he trying to see. That is when I realized what he was doing. He was playing with his newest friend, his shadow. So at that moment of my true understanding of my son's intelligence, I grabbed my camera. I must of took 100 photos.
