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.
