Playing with new toys at home

A few random pictures

"Cleaning" the floor

Pretending to blow his nose... he thought it was hilarious

Enjoying a cool fall morning (but it didn't last long... he was back in shorts before lunch)

Charlotte

We spent Labor Day weekend in Charlotte, NC visiting with Jonathan's parents. A lot of these pictures were taken at a botanical garden there. Dylan had a lot of fun looking at the butterflies and feeling the different flowers. He also loved sitting in daddy's old rocking chair. And thanks to Grandpa Hargrove for sharing his photos!

Silliness

One of the best things about Dylan's age right now is that he's starting to do weird things that keep us laughing all the time. One night he snuck Cookie Monster into the freezer while I was getting food out for dinner, and now every day he brings Cookie Monster into the kitchen to try to put him back. He makes goofy faces all the time, puts everything on his feet (like his mega blocks) and will lick your cheek if you ask for a kiss.

A long overdue update

At this time last year, I was posting pictures while my tiny baby slept in my arms, but it's a whole new game now. Dylan's been keeping me running all summer (literally). Jonathan and I went to California for a much needed vacation in late July and came back to find that our little crawler (who was just taking a few steps in between his crab crawling) had turned into a sprinter during his few days with Grandma Campbell and Aunt Suzie. Check out this video of him on the go. We had a low key but fun birthday celebration. Dylan loved his cake and balloons, and is still enjoying all of his new toys. He didn't seem to love sharing all of the attention with his cousin Lena while she was here for the birthday weekend, but the rest of us had fun watching them play together. And as for the rest of the summer, we've been spending a lot of time playing outside and at the pool, Dylan had his first haircut yesterday (very traumatic experience), and feeding time is getting messier as he learns to use a spoon. There's a few pictures below and I'll try to post more soon!

Mmm... spaghetti

First birthday

Dylan walking

I caught this video of Dylan walking a couple days ago. I thought it was pretty good until yesterday he nearly made it across the entire length of his bedroom! He'll be running around the house in no time.

Summer

I swear that this morning you could see the humidity in the air... Dylan didn't seem to mind though!
