SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry it has been almost a month since a blog update!! It has been quite a month!! Hopefully this long update with very cute pictures will make up for it! Enjoy!!

To start--I cannot belive Dylan is getting so big-he is learning new things everyday-it is just amazing!! I am ready for this winter weather to be done with so we can go outside and play.

Today I was lucky enough to have the day off to spend with my little guy. We spent some of our day writing on mommy's notebook--which she was supposed to be writing in for work!

Doesn't he have the best blue eyes!!
Another amazing thing about Dylan...he is so tall that he can reach the kitchen cabinet and eat Cheerios! I just can't believe it!

Ok, Ok, he was standing on something-but he is still pretty tall! We boxed up some of his old toys and we were waiting for daddy to take it down to the basement!
Dylan got a new animal video and was enjoying it today. He was pretty comfy on his chair!
Mom, will you please leave me alone and get that thing out of my face, I am trying to learn about these animals!
Caught Ya!!!

A few just to enjoy!



And one of Dylan helping me dust! Grandma Shaver taught him this-he loves to clean anything! He will dust, sweep, vacuum...He will make some lady very happy someday!

Too Cute To Not Share!!

Dylan is coloring a picture for Grandma and Grandpa Shaver! He enjoys coloring but that day he also enjoyed dropping the crayons and getting down to pick them up then doing it over and over again! Then on Sunday Uncle Brad brought Dylan lots of paper and new crayons so he drew him a picture and one for Aunt Ashley.

The Hat--Seth has about 10 hats but this is the only one Dylan likes for him to wear. If Seth has on a different hat Dylan will take it off and go get him this one. It is pretty funny!! I will have to teach Dylan to take daddy a purple hat next!!!

My little Ducky!! Dylan loves baths more than anything in the world. That is one word that we have to spell in our house. If we say the word bath Dylan runs to get his towel and then we pretty much have to give him one!! Here he is right after a bath--he looks like such a big boy!
Dylan was trying to fit Elmo (or Melemo as Dylan says) on his truck so he could give him a ride. He was squeezing his eyes pretty hard--maybe Dylan should try turning him around next time! Later in the evening Dylan was moving his truck closer to the trunk behind him so he could stand on the truck and get on the trunk!! What a clever little guy!

Dylan loves M&Ms!! I gave him a few and this is where is hid them!! I guess he didn't want Toby to find them. It's not like they lasted too long in there--he eats them pretty fast!!

The last one for the evening--Dylan brushing his teeth! Another favorite past time at our house!

The past couple of weeks!!!!

Dylan is such a great helper!! He loves helping mommy clean up around the house. Here he is helping with laundry! He also likes to dust, vacuum, and put dishes in the dish washer!! He is going to make some lady very happy someday!!!

We recently painted our kitchen and added a few things to it!! We aren't quite done, but close. We are going to add some quotes on the 3 rectangles on the top. I made the curtains myself and I think they look pretty good!!
Between the basement and back door we painted a chalkboard finish! It is a lot of fun and Dylan enjoys writing on it! I have to say I enjoy it too!!
Above the stove Seth added a couple shelves. Since our kitchen is small it is nice to have extra space to store things!
And finally, here is Dylan drawing on the board!

Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and 2008 is starting out good!! We will begin with one of Dylan's favorite Christmas gifts from Santa!! It is a ball pit-that he and Toby love!! He likes climbing on it, throwing the balls in and out, and going down the slide, head first!!

Here is Dylan and daddy trying to open his Elmo car!! It makes a lot of fun noises!!
Here is Dylan Christmas morning opening up a DVD!!
And finally, leaving cookies and milk for Santa!! Dylan helped Santa by dunking one of the cookies in the milk! I hope Santa likes them soggy!

Sledding!!

We took Dylan sledding over the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Shaver's house!! We had so much fun!! Dylan may not look like he is enjoying himself, but trust me, he his!! He laughed so hard the whole time!! However, I am not sure what he found more fun, going down the hill or watching as we pulled him up the hill!! His sled is very cool too, just his size and it has a seat belt, which we need with daddy and grandpa pulling him!!

Here daddy is showing Dylan how to make snow balls!!
Mommy and Dylan posing for a picture after going down the hill!! I wasn't sure I was going to make it without falling, but I did!
I am not sure Dylan will fit in this sled next year, but it is the perfect size right now!

Winter Fun

Last night we finally went out a picked out a Christmas tree!! It was very cold and they were snowy!! We had been putting it off because we didn't know how Dylan would handle it! He liked helping Daddy with the tree stand and I think they got it pretty straight!! He also loved the lights and he was dragging them all over the room. We put up a few ornaments then I finished when he went to bed! He of course called all of the ornaments balls and this morning took a few off and brought them to us! I may have to put them a little higher up!

Dylan's first time playing in the snow!! We had so much fun and he loved it! Seth kept making him snowballs to play with!! He would throw them down and then try and pick them back up! He had on so many layers that if he fell down he wasn't able to get back up! I cannot wait for the next big snowfall so we can play again!!

Seth finished up the Christmas lights Sunday night. After Dylan had his bath we went out to take a look. There are lights on the house but they blink so it was hard to get a picture when they were on!

Here is Dylan all bundled up in his new winter coat!! He looks like a little Eskimo!

Dylan and I made some Christmas cookies Saturday night. He did pretty good frosting them and he loved putting sprinkles on them. He also took a cookie and dipped it in the frosting!!

Here is one of Dylan and Toby!! They love each other so much and every once in a while they give each other kisses!!!
