Happy Thanksgiving! 7 Weeks

Happy Thanksgiving! We have a very busy VERY fun week! It started last Saturday with a trip to the East Bay to visit my friends Jerri & Sara. The men golfed and the women and children had lunch in downtown Danville. It was so nice to see the girls. Dylan also got to meet his Auntie Tara for the first time!

Yes, 2 car seats, 3 adults, the Bob and the Mclaren all fit in the Prius!

On Sunday morning we left for San Diego to spend a few days with Nick's family. Dylan did great on the 7 hour drive! We only had to stop twice to feed and change him. The rest of the ride he slept!

We took him to the beach for the first time! He slept through most of it but I think he enjoyed it :)

On Tuesday we headed up to Torrance to spend Thanksgiving with my family. Dylan met the Bry & Shafer families here for the first time! His cousin Rylee was very interested in her baby cousin.

Dylan, Dylan!

Dylan is now 7 weeks old and changing so much every day! He loves his time on the floor! He kicks his feet, punches his hands, smiles and makes the cutest noises. He is the happiest baby on earth!

Dylan is almost 6 weeks!

These last 2 weeks have flown by! I'm not sure where the days go. By the time Dylan and I get up, eat and shower, it's already 11am!!! And believe me, we are not sleeping late. We are starting to develop a routine which is nice. He is still sleeping really well (knock on wood). His first stretch is 4-5 hours long on most nights! I really appreciate the sleep. He is getting bigger and bigger each day. His newborn clothes still fit him, but the length is getting close. 0-3 month clothing is starting to fit a little better. He is still a very mellow baby. I can take him anywhere. We frequent the market, Target and my parents house. Dylan is also awake a lot more during the day. He is also much more aware of himself and his surroundings. He loves the mirror on his swing! I think Dylan got his Dad's big beautiful brown eyes. I love them! His hair is getting lighter like mine. We are still hoping for it to get curly like Nick's!

Wow, 1 month already!

Dylan has been here for over a month now! I seriously can't believe it. He is starting to use his swings and bouncy chairs now. We are settling into a very nice routine that allows us to actually leave the house! Dylan is a great little buddy to run errands with!

We have had a very busy past couple of days. Lots of fun visitors and outings!

My friend Jen came to visit on her way home from LA. Jen and I met at WOW our first week of Cal Poly 9 years ago. I can't believe we're now old enough to be married with kids! Her son Rhett is a little over 11 weeks old and SO ADORABLE.

We took Dylan on a walk to my parents for dinner the other night. It's so cold now that we have to bundle him up! The adorable Giants themed blanket was knitted but my talented cousin Krissy.

Dylan loves his baths! He doesn't play in them yet, but he really enjoys the warm water.

Here are some pictures I took of Dylan to document his 1 month birthday!

4 Weeks Old!

Dylan is 4 weeks old today! I can't believe it. He has changed so much in the past 4 weeks! The pictures below are of Dylan the day he came home from the hospital and now. Check out the differences! He has gained weight and is filling out. His outfit fits him a lot better now too :)

Now

My parents bought Dylan an incredibly soft bear with his name on it. It is adorable! It is definitely something he will have forever.

3 Weeks Old

Seriously, each week goes by quicker than the one before. Dylan is still AWESOME! Nick and I just stare at him and cannot believe we created something this amazing. He is getting so big. Well, he is still small but big in comparison to when he was born. Newborn clothes are still a bit big, but they are starting to fit him better. He is awake a lot more now. Thankfully, most of it is during the day. He is still sleeping well (knock on wood) and has a great temperament.

We had a busy week getting ready for Julie's shower. It's amazing how long it takes to get things done with a newborn. Thankfully my Mom was able to help me out! The shower was beautiful and Julie got some very nice gifts. We are so excited to meet Baby Girl Coldani!

Thank you Auntie Tara for my shirt!

This is one of our favorite onesies. If you can't see it, it says "Formally known as Thor". It is so funny to think that we called Dylan "Thor" for 9 months.
