Dylan gets vocal

He doesn't do a lot of talking, but when he does...he's serious about it.

For whatever reason, I can not post the video here. You'll have to check it out on utube.


He's got his coat and his hat...

Happy Birthday Papa!

October 24th! Happy Birthday Ben!

The last few months have flown by. Dylan cracks us up everyday, he's such a happy baby and it is so fun to watch him learn and grow. We started him on solid food, it's taken a little while to catch on but he's getting the hang of it. I love watching him try to feed himself, he's at about a 50% success rate of getting the food in his mouth.

Our trip to California was changed from a VW bus ride to a trip with Westjet. Dylan traveled really well, the only rough bit was the first hour or so on the flight back...other than that he did great! The wedding we attended was so beautiful, the bride was gorgeous and the groom could not stop smiling. Seeing palm trees and the ocean every day was almost as fantastic as spending so much time with my family. We also came upon an amazing little secluded cove in Laguna Beach....we went for lunch at a restaurant overlooking the ocean, then walked down about 200 steps to Table Rock Beach. The waves were rough there though, definitely not a place to go swimming.

Here are a few photos, some from home, some from California...

Hmmm....no surprise...Dylan is a computer geek too.

We have some great video of Dylan laughing and babbling...I'm having problems downloading them to blogger. I'll try to figure something out.

Dylan @ 6 months

I've been called out...I have not been updating the photos. We got a little busy.

Solids have been started, napping is getting under control (we went through a rough patch), Dylan is finding his voice and becoming quite the social butterfly. Here's a few pics:

Next adventures...back to Winnipeg...shortly after that - off to California in the VW bus. Are we nuts?

Dylan @ 3 Months

Last Friday he weighed in at 12 lbs 15 oz, 23" long....growing like a Dillweed!

This is a close-up.

So well behaved when he's asleep.


Tummy time


Fancy cloth diapers.


Dylan waking up.

This video is surely of no interest to the "bloggers"... just a few family members. It may remind Nan of her own daughter waking up.
