Dylan keeps us laughing all day everyday day! His constant babbling, exploring and general silliness is great therapy. This week he has gained more confidence and is even closer to walking, visited his new friend Maryn Honore and had a fabulous picnic with his "Aunties" and friend Emery. Nick and I also celebrated our 3rd anniversary last Wednesday! It was a sure sign that we are getting old - how did we celebrate, by playing co-ed softball. At least we won :)

An interesting hang out...

In a big boy seat now!!! Thanks Grandma Auntie & Grandpa Uncle!!

Hanging out with Maryn!

Play date with Giada! Twice in one day!!!

On Sunday we had the loveliest afternoon with Jerri, Emery, Sara & Nicole. We went to a winery in Livermore for some wine tasting, a picnic and some play time!

That is what Nick has named Dylan as he is now 10 months old!!!!!! I know it's not PC, sorry if anyone is offended. Where has time gone? It's crazy. We are officially over the flu, I think, knock on wood, fingers crossed. Here are some recent photos and videos of Dylan's new adventures.

10 Month Photo Shoot
Dylan cooperated really well this month. I got a few good shots before he started messing with the blocks.



Adventures with the baby jail... We used to be able to leave the "cat door" open for the chihuahuas. But now Dylan figured out he could fit through it! Sorry boys!

Hmm, I wonder if I can fit...

Totally!

My first purchase off Craigslist! I wanted a Fisher Price Laugh & Learn house, farm or kitchen for Dylan to play with. The only problem is they are like $80 which is a lot for him to play with for a few months. So I began searching and found a perfectly good used one on Craigslist for $30! I felt like I was doing a drug deal meeting the woman in the Raley's parking lot, but it worked out. Dylan loves it! So now I'm on the hunt for one for my parents house. I really wanted the farm but I think it's new so I couldn't find any used ones yet...



I felt bad about blocking Dylan from everything so I gave him a drawer in the kitchen. He loves to crawl over and pull EVERYTHING out of it. He can also reach the drawer above it which is full of dish towels. It's pretty funny.


This past weekend we had Tim & Chris's wedding. It was a fabulous affair in San Francisco at the Sir Francis Drake. The bride was GORGEOUS and they looked so happy. It was Nick & I's first night away from Dylan together and we had a nice time. Thanks to my parents for the slumber party with D!

Very cool bagpiper outside the church!

And Renee is on the phone AGAIN! I was giving her the benefit of the doubt thinking she was checking on Nico, but she wasn't :)

And the videos...

Dear Flu,

Please pack your bags and leave our house! You are NOT WELCOME HERE!

As you can see, we are battleing the flu. But I owe a blog post to let you know what we've been up to. Busy as always. Dylan is growing like a weed and sprouting more teeth. We're up to 7 now!!!! And he grinds them together which is He still isn't walking on his own, but is getting more and more confident with the walker around the kitchen. He now gives high-5's and loves to clap! I'm still trying to get a good video of those. They are SUPER cute :)
