GOT CHALK?

Getting to use the chalk in gymnastics is my new favorite part. I like to put it on my face and clothes and NOT just my hands. I can really hang on the bar and the rings that way!

I think I'm getting better??

Daddy took his test on Thursday and he gets to come home earlier now! When it is just Mommy, Derek, and I Mommy likes to help me eat because she does not like me to get dirty. With Daddy home, he says I am all on my own. I think I am getting better! Yes, that is a green bean sitting on my left shoulder. Who knows, maybe soon I will get to keep my shirt on when I eat.
Derek hanging out in the high chair for the first time at home. That plate is for Daddy!! I love having him home early. We did eat more than just butter... the lasagna is on the counter. :)


Mommy made some broccoli. I thought it made a good tree for Elmo to hang out in.

Derek giving a cute little wave. Later this month Mommy is going to start him on some solid foods :)

I kiss him Night Night!

One of Dylan's new favorite things is to kiss Derek night night. He looks at me and says, "I need help" So I lift him up so that he can get in the crib with Derek and so that he can give him a kiss. The bonus is he gets to see Nemo in the fish aquarium on the side of Derek's bed.
Derek usually lets out a big laugh and Smile.





What a special bond these 2 boys already have! I can't wait to see what is ahead. I am so blessed to be the middle of of 3 girls and wouldn't trade my sisters for anything! When I was 8 years old, it was my older sister Whitney who presented the plan of Salvation to me. Even though she lives in Illinois, we still are very close. We talk numerous times a day and I admire her so much for being such a wonderful wife to Daniel, and amazing mom, and one of my best friends! Grace only lives about 10 miles from me and keeps me sane. She is a WONDERFUL Aunt to my kiddos and puts up with helping me do a lot for the kids. She is hip and trendy and lets me borrow her cute clothes and jewelry. I admire her for being an independent and confident person. She too, is one of my best friend!
As I look at my boys I pray that they will always be close. God truly blessed our family with these two little boys and the fact that they are only 20 months apart. What special little guys they are and I love them so much!!!

Dylan enjoyed riding on the little tractor...or should I say enjoyed being PUSHED on the little tractor

He might be "fluffy" but he still fits in the basket :)

Papa bought Dylan a little Pumpkin to bring home. If I let him, he would sleep with it :)

Dylan loved going down the big slide

This was Derek's first time to sit in a high chair!


Last week we went to lunch at McDonald's with Aunt Grace, Bob, and Jean. We had a great time eating Chicken nuggets and playing in the play area.
