Baby Dylan - 44 wks (10 mths) old today

Wow, 10 months old today!

Dylan is cutting four new teeth. He has been so moody. I know it hurts. Alot of dirty diapers and not alot of sleeping these days for him. On the bright side, these new teeth are comming in on the top. He needed some on the top to help him with the chewing of his cheerios, lol!

Daddy and Dylan!

I took this photo on Sunday of Matt and Dylan. Matt glows when he plays with his son. I really can see that their expressions show the love of a father and son. So beautiful!

Baby to be, one year later made, family of three!

Almost one year ago, Matt and I went to the museum and park downtown Houston. In front of the Natural Science Museum there is a marvelous fountain were sight see-ers are always stopping and taking photos. So here is our pictures before and after baby!
Oh yeah by the way, while we were there, a Rice University student that was doing a photography project asked to snap of few photos of Dylan. She was very nice, and explained her whole assignment in full detail. Dylan really cheesed it up when she took his pictures. Our Lil' Shutterbug!

Our Museum Visit - Lucy's Legacy

Today Sheree', Dylan and I took a trip to the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

Whether you're a believer is evolution of mankind from apes or not, the exhibit is an amazing view of the Ethiopia's wonder "Lucy" who was discovered some time in the 70's. There are many artifacts from Ethiopia as well as the remains of Lucy. These remains have been under lock and key in Ethiopia and have for the 1st time been released to the public. The Houston Museum of Natural Science is very lucky to be the hosting place to display for all to see.

Here is a link to press releases of the exhibit artifacts and such: http://lucyexhibition.com/press.aspx

Baby Dylan - 43 wks (9 mths) old today

In our family room, we have an ottoman with a few of Dylan's toys in it. That way it is a quick clean-up if we have any guests over. So anyways, the other day I missed Mr. Dylan and couldn't find him. He had gotten into his toys with his bottle and was hiding. I was sooo nervous, my heart was in pounding , I didn't see him. Then all the sudden, I heard a burp! So of course I found him and ran and got my camera to snap this shot. He is so silly!

Baby Dylan - 42 wks (9 mths) old today

This week we are getting wooden floors put in our house. So we have made one of our upstairs bedrooms our new "Playroom"! I will be sure to post some pics soon to show the before and after results of both the playroom and the new wood floors.
OK so now on to more important things, Dylan is currently learning how to express his emotions through his hands. I know, it sounds silly, but we use sign language to him all the time, and its almost like he is staring to pick up on it. He has a special appreciation for his blocks,LOL. He goes to them every time and tries to stack them. It is always a blast to watch him enjoy his playtime.

Hard to Swallow!!!

Here is a few photos of Dylan taken over the last few months as he has ventured into trying new foods!

Website Outtage Last Night

Last night was a long work night for me. It was not related to my job though. Our network server at home crashed last night. For some reason when I rebooted the server for maintenance around 8pm, it decided that it wanted to not work anymore. After fighting with it for over 5 hours, I was able to get it up and going again. I sure was happy to get it going again; it is our email server, webserver and contains around 500gigs of pictures and data that Sheree’ and I use all the time.

Dylan was coaching me along for a little while from his jumper, but decided to turn in for the night around 10pm. Sheree’ followed shortly after around 10:30pm. At 1:30am I turned in for the night.

Dylan has learned to say Bye- Bye! He waves too. He also is feeding himself his very own cheerios. Sometimes they get stuck to his head. It's cute. I will be sure to try and get a photo of it. It's amazing how quick he is gaining knowledge of all of his wonderful motor skills.

Can you find the baby?

See how long it takes you to spot the baby!!!



This photo was taken looking down into the family room from the staircase. Dylan was hard at play with all of his toys whenever he drifted asleep.

Baby Dylan - 40 wks (9 mths) old today

Dylan is really growing so fast. Learning something new everyday. His vocabulary is pretty short but, he has the baby language down pat! He is starting to give me this looks like, "You gotta be kidding me lady!" It is always when I put him in his bed for a nap, or whenever I am finished feeding him and he wants more. NEEDY! LOL.... but that's what we are here for!

Happy New Year 2008...Baby!

Here's wishing everyone more happiness
Than all our words can ever tell,
Not just alone for New Years Eve,
But for all the year as well!!!
