Big Boy seat at Walmart

Speaking of growing up too fast...




We put Dylan in the big boy seat of the shopping cart yesterday at Walmart. He's probably just a little too early to really do it every time, but it sure beats lugging that 20lb (40lb with him in it) car seat everywhere.

He holds himself up on his own pretty good but it was around his nap time so about 20 minutes into shopping we had to prop him up with teddy bears to keep him from falling over. (FYI, the rule "If you slobber on it you buy it" isn't really law)

Mommy might not want him to grow up so fast, but I can't wait until he's a little more independent. It will be great when he can hold his own bottle, or sit there and play by himself.... or run to Walmart for us while we have "grown up time." :)

A week of Change

This morning I woke at 6 and fed Dylan - he went to his crib on his tummy and I went to bed. An hour later when Dylan was up for the morning Daddy went to get him. He comes back in and says he found Dylan on his back playing. He so rolled over for the first time and I missed it! The other night he was so close, I got so excited but was relieved when he didn't do it. I don't know I already feel like I'm losing the baby in him already. He wants to sit up, he wants to "help" hold his bottles, he makes it well know he hates his car seat, he reaches for toys and he has 2 teeth. All of this has happened pretty much with in this past week. Last Sunday he had pretty much no interest in reaching for toys, no teeth, and would accidentally bounce in his jumper... today he was LAUGHING at the light the bouncer made when he jumped. Oh and then I picked him up and made an oink sound and he fell apart in giggles. Oh and he sings to me sometimes. I love that part. It's what makes me want to keep rocking him to sleep :). It's only once in a while though.

Anyway I have mixed emotions about this past week, part of me is super excited to see him grow up, but the other part of me hates that it's happening so fast! He's such a little person already. He has likes and dislikes. How do mom's cope?

(I bought batteries today so I'll get back to clicking pictures and taking movies again soon!)

PS. The "red hair like the mail man" Was funny when I voted... But who's the other one who voted??? What are you trying to say? lol

Make that two!

Ok so I've tried to take a picture of his new TEETH, (yes, TWO!) but my camera sucks and it just comes out all blurry and plus Dylan hasn't learned how to show off his teethies yet. So it makes it very difficult to take a picture.

He also almost rolled over today but my batteries died on my camera so he decided he's going to wait for me to buy new ones. That's how that works, right?

He's getting so big!

First Tooth!

Dylan had his first tooth poke through this morning. Which explains the crankiness and excess drooling. :) Anyone want to babysit today? lol. : ) just kidding.

OMG my BFF Connor

We let Dylan's cousin Connor babysit the other day when Heidi and I were at Taste of Atlanta. Cindi posted some cool pictures of the two hanging out, you can see them here: http://picasaweb.google.com/Cindi.N.Tony/ConnorAndLittleBabyDylan

Dylan told me that Connor is his new BFF cause they both like trucks.

Dad vs. The Boy

Wilkinson razors (which is Schick here in the US) has a great campaign out right now that really speaks to me on a personal level. Check out this trailer: http://www.ffk-wilkinson.com

It's scary how accurate this is.

Take the Hair color poll

Dylan is currently going bald. I think its from all the baby stress. He was born with a TON of beautiful black hair. Now it all resides on the back of his car seat, his bouncy chair, the crib and I think I saw some on the couch. He still has some on the left side of his head because he sleeps on his right. Its very weird.

So we created a new poll (to your left) to see what y'all think his hair will grow back as. I was born with black hair just like Dylan, but it turned blonde. Heidi was born with brown hair and its still brown. So it will be very interesting to see what color Dylan's turns out to be.

Let us know your guess and take the poll. The winner will get a free Ipod!*
