Happy 1st Birthday Dylan!

So this is about a month late, but we've been so busy, so here it is. Dylan had a great first birthday and he was so good. The day started with a parade, then to the park for the booths, and then a great nap. Which let Mom and Dad catch up on stuff the party. Then we had a great cookout, hotdogs, and salad. Then Presents! Dylan loved to open his tonka truck, given by Uncle Caleb and Uncle Wes. Thanks guys he loves it! And he also was spoiled by both Grandparents. Josh and I gave him a pool, and a hoop to go in it. Aunt RoseAnne gave him the best building blocks ever! He love his birthday. So what was left but the cake of course. It had a four wheeler on it, he loves to play with. We gave him a piece and he did not eat a single crumb of it. Nothing went in his mouth. He started with the frosting, and it was all over his hands then straight to his hair. Not only did he continue to rub it in then he rubbed it all over his chest. Silly boy! Dylan I love you and you are such a great boy. I hope you had a great birthday!

Dylan's First Haircut

Dylan was such a brave little boy. He didn't cry or anything. Josh sat with him and the clippers letting him study them, and then it was in his high chair with his cape on and it was cutting time. He just kept trying to look at Josh while he was cutting his hair, so I gave him a sucker, his very first sucker! It was almost gone by the time we were done. He looks so big a grown up now, he's adorable.

He Can WALK ! !

I haven't blogged for a while so make sure that you check all of my new entries. I had a few spare minutes since I've been home all day on pain killers, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. But here it is the moment that I've been waiting for. . . . . DYLAN CAN WALK! He took his first step at 10 months and 2 weeks old. I think that is a very big accomplishment. And boy if he wants to cruise he will. He still crawls on and off, hasn't gone to straight walking yet. This video is outside on the very uneven grass and he has his new favorite ball. With of course puppies on it. What else could a little boy ask for? He does so good, I am so very proud of him!

Camping ! !

Yes we braved the weather and went camping last weekend. The first part was lovely. We went for a walk got everything set up, and then the rain started to pour! Luckily Josh had talked me into bringing our canopy. We had Dylan under it, and that's where we ate as well. Dylan's first dutch oven tatoes and BBQ chicken, he loved it! We finally decided to go in the tent where we knew would be dry and Dylan ready for bed and of course then the rain stopped. So we went out and built our fire, and rocked Dylan to sleep. He slept all night, I was so proud of him. It rained on and off all night, so the next morning we made breakfast and packed up and came home. Hopefully next time it won't rain, and if it does hopefully it's just for a few minutes.

Just Helping Mom!

Dylan loves to get into the dishwasher. It doesn't matter if it's clean or dirty. He get in and pulls everything out or sometimes will even put stuff in. He's Mommys little helper, for sure!

Outside. . . . if it would stay nice enough

Dylan loves outside. I didn't think a boy his age could like the outside so much. If he's ornery take him outside, fussy take him outside. I tell you he loves it. I sure hope this is a sign that he will love camping. I put him in the walker because Josh and I were doing little odds and ends around and couldn't carry him and he kept sticking everything in his mouth. So the walker solved that problem, plus gave him a spot for his vanilla wafers, thanks Molly for letting us use it. He is sporting his handsome camo hat from his Aunt RoseAnne.
