Winter Storm 2008

Here comes the lovely NY winter weather. We are in the middle of a snow storm, which they are calling for 8-12 inches. The weather people were actually right for once on this one. So Dylan and i are sitting here watching the snow fly. It is actually very pretty if you don't have to go out and drive in it!! Dylan got his first Christmas gift from his Grandma and Grandpa Nash last week so we've been trying it out and he seems to really like it.

Like my new walker? Anyone seen where my feet went?

Oh, there they are!! My legs are so short, they can't touch the floor yet :)

Dylans Grandparents Are In Town!!!

We had a really great time having Shawns parents here for the week. They really enjoyed spending time with Dylan. We took Dylan out to lunch for the first time while they were here and he didn't even make one peep. I was a little worried taking him because i figured he would start to scream. He actually loves to go places with us and usually sleeps while we are out.

"O Christmas Tree"

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since we've updated you last. We have been very busy getting the house ready for Christmas. We've had a small dilemma putting the tree up this year and it's all because of Dylan!! Dylans swing is sitting where we would normally put our tree, so we ended up putting the tree in our kitchen / dining room area. I thought it was more important for the swing to stay in the living room since he uses it all the time.

Dylans Grandpa and Grandma Nash (Shawns Parents) are coming to visit on Saturday for a whole week. They will be meeting the little guy for the first time!!! We are very excited for the visit.

Here is a picture of Dylans Christmas outfit. I figured that i would take a picture of him in the outfit and make Christmas cards!! I only had to take about 25 pictures of him to get 1 good picture.

This is not the good one!!!

Here's our Christmas tree!!

We Love Floortime

Dylan is really starting to get his own personality. He is smiling and laughing more and more everyday. He really enjoys his dogs. They are so protective of him and love to lick his face!!!Dylan is going to be 5 weeks old on Thursday and he is already fitting comfortably in 3 month clothing. We are actually going to buy 3-6 month sleepers this weekend because his feet are becoming too big to fit in the 3 month sleepers.

Aunt Kelly and Uncle Jer bought me this outfit, these fleece pants will keep me warm on all the snowy days ahead!!!!

Looks like someone needs a haircut and it's not me!!!

Hi Everyone, look at my wave

Look at my handsome smile!!!

Bathtime Fun

We gave Dylan his first tub bath last night. I think he thought it was a little weird at first but once he got used to it, i think he really enjoyed it!!! I have to say tub baths are much better than giving sponge baths!!

Here is a picture of Dylan sporting a shirt and overalls with footballs on them. He told his daddy yesterday that he wanted to wear them for football sunday!!! He loves to sit with his daddy to watch all of the games.

Dylan is 3 Weeks Old

WOW does time really go fast, I can't believe its already been 3 weeks since Dylan entered into this world!!! Shawn went back to work this week so I have been adjusting being home without him here. Dylan and I seem to be adjusting just fine!! Dylan had his 2nd doctors appointment yesterday and he currently weighs 10 lbs 2 1/2 ounces. The doctor said that he is a very healthy boy.

Here are a few pictures that i took this week, he is really starting to change

Aunts Are Great!!!!!

We are so thankful for having so many creative aunts in our family!!! Aunt Nancy, Aunt Ann andd Aunt Becky took alot of time to make these items for Dylan. He loves them already!!!

Aunt Nancy made two Blankey's for Dylan

Aunt Ann made this Blankey and i know she has another homemade suprise for Dylan!!

Aunt Becky made this blankey along with a sweater, booties and a matching hat!! The blankey has little teddy bears imprinted in it. It is very sweet.

Thank you!!!!!

Dylans 1 Week Old

Last week we went to our 1st doctors visit and Dylan is doing really well. He lost 10 oz at the hospital before we left and gained it all back within just a few days!!! It looks like he is getting enough to eat. We have done really well getting Dylan on a set schedule, we usually put him down for a nap during the day for 2-3 hours. He is sleeping well at night in his cradle too!! We put him down for bed at 10pm and he sleeps for about 3-4 hours at a time. I am very happy that he is really improving his sleep patterns, i don't feel as tired as i did the first few days we were home.

Dylan's 1st Halloween

Welcome to the World Dylan Michael!!

As you all know Dylan Michael was born on October 23, 2008. He was 8 lbs 3 oz and 22 inches long!!! We are all excited to have a new member of the family!! So far we believe Dylan has his days and nights confused, so i haven't slept much since i've been home from the hospital. We are working very hard to get him on a set schedule.
