On this very night four years ago, Matt got down on one knee and asked for my hand in marriage. Sometimes we laugh about how nervous he was and how giggly we got after he popped the question. It is a truly wonderful memory for us. I feel like that night we both starting floating and our feet havn't touched the ground since.
It seems like every time we turn around,we are running into Santa. Dylan loves to sit in Santa's lap. He has no problem what so ever. No meltdowns at the mall for us,lol. He even has this happy dance he does when he spots Santa. The first time we saw Santa, Dylan made a stinky little present for him while we were waiting in line. There were a few small children ahead of us asking their moms,"Whats that smell?" Little did they know that my son had a dirty diaper ready for Santa. Let's hope his name makes Santa's Good List of boys and Girls!
This past week has been an extremely wild one. We have not stopped going. Miraculously, we have our Christmas tree up and decorated. Although we have opted not to decorate the yard because of all of our holiday traveling, we were not about to skip out on the tradition of decorating the inside of our home. Dylan has really been testing us with the ornaments by taking them off the tree. I must admit, he has been better than I originally thought . He now has a true understanding of what the word "NO" means. We can't wait to watch him open gifts. Only 13 days to go!
This past week has been a crazy one. Dylan is going through so many milestones one right behind another. He has now extended his vocabulary by a few more words. The funniest (which shouldn't be funny at all ) is no,no,no. If we correct him and say no. He starts crying and throws a little fit and starts to mimic us by repeating no,no,no over and over. We have to try so hard to hide our laughs. If he hears us laughing he gets even madder at us. It is very funny. He totally understands then meaning of the word no, because lately he is constantly getting into something he shouldn't be. I hope he doesn't start to think his name is No-No.....lol.
This week Dylan and I are in Mobile, Alabama while Matt is working in Lafayette, Louisiana. He will driving in today. This week we have mostly been visiting family and friends. We celebrated Lucie's 1st birthday (Lucie is Dylan's first cousin) and also took our first trip to the zoo in New Orleans, Louisiana. I will be sure to post pictures of both events sometime over the next week. As far Dylan, he is crawling all over the place. Talking up a storm, although we can understand much, lol.
Every week its something new. This week, Dylan has really showed major interest in crawling. Although, he has been pretty mobile for the past few weeks like bottom shuffling (scooting around on his bottom, using a hand behind and a foot in front to propel himself), slithering on his stomach, & rolling across the room. We have witnessed all of these actions but, now he has learned to move confidently from a sitting position to being on all fours, and he can also rock back and forth when his limbs are straight and his body is parallel to the floor. He is trying to master the art of moving his hands and knees together . Sometimes he will not go very far, other times he will boogie half way across the room. Matt bought him a bouncy ball to play with and it has really turned him on to the crawling action by chasing after his ball. When he achieves his goal of reaching the ball, he then, rolls on his back on tries to eat it, lol. It's so funny.
Here is a few more photos taken from the other week. After taking numerous photos, we were getting ready to leave the studio and changed Dylan into his pjs to go home, when all the sudden he started cheesing it up for the photographer. So, having photos taken in his pajamas wasn't part of the plan, but, ended up being a pretty dog-gone cute idea!
Finally, Dylan has 2 teeth. After several fussy nights and a runny nose, 2 pearly white teeth have made their long awaited appearance.
