More Fun!

Just four days after Christmas my little guy turned one year old! Even though we felt all "gifted out" we had a birthday party for him. He actually seemed more interested in opening gifts at his two birthday gatherings than he did at Christmas. Maybe it was a bit less craziness because he was the only one opening gifts this time. Who knows; but he enjoyed it so we were very glad we had the party. Dylan absolutely loves dinosaurs (he is all boy already!) Whenever he sees a dinosaur (or dragon, or lion) he says: "raaaaaaaa"! My sister Tawana got him a whole set of little dinosaurs and now we take a couple of them with us everywhere. At his last doctors appointment he continued to hold up one of his dino's and tell the nurse and doctor "raaaa" "raaa"! He also got a real big one, he wasn't so sure about it at first but he warmed up very quickly.


Dylan's first Tonka truck from his grandma and grandpa!
Another "raaa" "raaa" toy and some much needed new clothes! Thanks everyone!!
Dylan was so clean and neat eating his cake! (unlike his sister who had it up her nose, in her ears and hair!) He just sat there forever picking at it with two fingers and eating tiny little bits at a time! But he really liked it, he said 'mmmmm'!
Happy Birthday Dylan! I cannot believe it has been a year already!!!

This past weekend we finally got together with some friends of ours who we haven't seen in a while. They recently became parents for the first time and we got to visit with them and their beautiful baby girl! Brittney just loved the baby, she was by her side the entire time. It brought back so many memories of how the girls were when Dylan was that tiny. Brittney used to sit and "read" him books and he would actually fall asleep. Alexcis would rock him while i got house cleaning done. They loved the tiny baby stage and they were such big helpers and they still are. Brittney with baby Karissa:
Such a happy little girl!

and the last picture is her opening her Christmas gift with her mommy. Of course you can see the top of Brittney's little head in the picture because I just couldn't get her to move far enough away to be out of the picture!!
