Dylan's First Birthday

2008-08-14T14:04:00.000-07:00

My sweet baby boy is no longer a baby it is official he is ONE. In announcing that I would like to also announce we are going through the terrible ONES. Yes that is right we love to throw tantrums and ignore Mommy when she tells us not to do something and my favorite is to act like the world has come to an end when we do not get our way. I am thankful this behavior did not begin until after the birthday festivities had ended. We had a great time for his birthday. The weekend before the party Mommy, Daddy and Dylan had their first trip to Toys R Us. I am not sure who had more fun Daddy or Dylan. Friday before the party Dylan's Grandaddy and Ali came up from Sarasota, FL and took Dylan to go pick out his first wagon. He loves his wagon we ride in it almost everyday. He is so cute in it he leans back in the seat and waves like he is in a parade or just relaxes while Mommy or Daddy pull him around. The big hit at the party was Dylan's birthday hat all of his Grandpas accused me of being mean by putting him in that hat. I do not care what they think I searched online went to every baby boutique in Baldwin County and finally found a store that had one left. Hope everyone enjoys the pics.

Well I got fussed out by our cousins last weekend that I have been slacking on my postings. Dylan is very mobile and on the verge of walking so it does not leave me with much computer time. So here is an update for everyone as I just said I believe Dylan will be walking very soon. He took four steps Monday night and two steps Saturday night. I got him the step and ride car about two weeks ago and he pushes it everywhere. I can not believe he is going to be a year old in a few weeks time really does fly.

I am sorry I have not posted in a while we have been very busy the month of March we had our annual trip to Atlanta, I had a birthday and Easter. Our trip to Atlanta was good Dylan did great. Brad was off that Friday so we went as far as Pine Apple to his parents house and spent the night which knocked off 2 hours of our trip. Saturday we had breakfast and lunch with Granny and Papa and then hit the road to Atlanta. Dylan slept most of the trip and only got fussy the last 30 minutes. We loaded up Sunday at around 2pm Dylan stayed awake for about 45 min. and then fell asleep we were able to make to Montgomery were we stopped for dinner and let Dylan stretch his legs and he slept most of the way back home. As far as my Birthday I learned I have a very sneaky but WONDERFUL husband. Brad with all he has had going on with work and going out of town somehow found time to plan a surprise party for my 30th Bday. I was not looking forward to the Bday for some reason so it meant a lot to me that he made it memorable. He had my friends and the family waiting in a back room at one of my favorite restaurants and we all had drinks and dinner and a really really great time. Oh and yes I finally got my diamond earrings I have been asking for. They are beautiful. The only down fall was that Dylan came down with an ear infection and a slight head cold that day and was not feeling good. So Memaw inhaled her dinner loaded him in the car and took him to her house. She is so funny she holds him all the time mom gets so mad that she won't share him. I hate that my child is so unloved (ha ha). Easter we kept pretty low key we went to church and then came home and napped and had an early dinner. I did however have a photo shoot of Dylan in his Easter out fit he wore one of Brad's old baby outfits that Susie had saved and it was soooooo cute. I hope ya'll enjoy the new pics.

Dylan is growing so much he is eating soilds on a regular basis and is sitting up on his own. He went to his first Mardi Gras Parade last night he seemed to enjoy watching everyone jump around. He caught a few cute stuffed animals with assistance of his favorite friend Katie. I was really surprised that the noise did not bother him but it didn't. I think we may be seeing our first tooth soon and he is working on crawling. Right now he gets on all fours and rocks a little bit then ends up pushing himself backwards.

Happy New Year everyone. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our first Christmas with Dylan was GREAT. Brad's father, his wife & mother all came and stayed with us for a few days we were so happy to have them here to celebrate with us. Mr. Dylan was throughly spoild for Christmas. He got a whole new wardrobe, a high chair and an excersaucer along with some additional small items. He loves his excersaucer and mommy does too. We have started soilds this week and so far so good he loves apples and sweet potatoes but the diapers are not so pleasent.

Here is the latest update from the Moore Family. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving we went to Pine Apple Alabama were Ed and Susie are building their new house. Dylan did great on his first big road trip he slept the whole time the good thing is that it is only about two hours away. This being are fist big stay away from home I packed everything I could of Dylan's which was way to much. Were he is concerned I really try to stick to the better safe than sorry method of packing you would have thought we were moving in. We spent almost the whole week with them. Thanksgiving day we had dinner at the hunting camp and ate way more than human being should There is always so much great food that by the time you just have a bite of everything you are totally stuffed. Dylan decided to share the slight cold he had picked up with me so I ended up sick the last few days we were there but it was good timing with Granny and Papa around Dylan does not want for Mommy or attention so I was able to rest. We went and got our Christmas tree the other day and Dylan got to meet Santa and his reindeer for the first time he was not impressed maybe next year he will be a little more excited. I think I may have been expecting a little much of litlle Dylan. We are excited for Christmas Brad's grandmother is coming with his Dad and Stepmom she will get to meet Dylan for the first time we can not wait for them to get here. We hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and I will post again soon.

Well Dylan had his 4 month checkup today and yes we got another round of vaccinations he did pretty good. I still hate having to be the one that holds him down and watches him scream but as soon as it is over and I pick him up he stops which seems to amaze the nurses. Mr. Dylan is growing by leaps and bounds and the doctor asked me what I was feeding him. He has gained 7lbs. and grown two inches in 2 months. According to the sheet they are graphing is growth on he is way above the average.

Yesterday was Dylan's Christening and it went great he is such a good baby. Afterwards we had a small gathering at the house it was nice getting the family together. Dad has finally held the baby a few times but not for very long he is still pretty scarred. Dylan has been waking up pretty early for the past few nights so I have started giving him a little cereal as of right now he is not a fan. I hope everyone enjoys the new pics.

Sorry I have neglected my postings. To catch everyone up Dylan is sleeping through the night like a champ. He had is first round of vaccinations and handled them so great. He only cried for a split second. I on the other hand did not handle it well and I am pretty sure Brad will have to take him for his next round. When it was all said and done I needed to be held. On September 12th we started Kindermusik classes our teachers name is Mrs. Dale and we love the class. We have also made some new friends in the class and have scheduled some play dates which I think I may enjoy more than Dylan. Only a few milestones to mention he is now smiling and laughing. Brad and I make total fools of ourselves just to get him to laugh we think it is sooooooooooo cute. He is also trying to sit up but he is still pretty wobbley.

Well we had a big week last week. First Dylan slept through the night for an entire week yes people I think we are on a roll. Second Mommy got a new car. I am now the proud owner of a Ford Expedition. While it may be a little big for just one child I do not care I love it. It is so nice to have all that room car seat and extended cab truck do not mix. I must go while Dylan is sleeping through the night he is still however not napping during the day and is at the moment screaming for someone to come get him.

I am very excited this morning Dylan slept through the night. I am not sure if it was the excitement of his first football game or the last minute win for Auburn but he SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. He has been trying to for a week now but has only been able to make it to 3:30 or 4:00 am last night he made it all the way 6:00AM. I am hoping and praying for a repeat performance tonight. Wish us luck.

Well here is our blog sorry it has taken so long for me to create but Dylan keeps me very busy these days. Currently he is watching his first Auburn football game with his dad. I hope everyone enjoys the pics I have posted and I am going to do my best to keep this current.
