Dylan is 9 Months!

My little blondie.

Sleep: Dylan's sleep schedule has not changed.  He still sleeps 11-12 hours a night and takes two naps a day.  Lately he has been waking up pretty early in the morning, but tends to make up for it in his naps.

Size:  He is 20 pounds and 28.5 inches long.  That's 50th percentile for height and 60th for weight.  He is wearing some size 9 month clothes, but mostly 12 month clothes at this point.  He is wearing size 3 diapers, but I'm about to move him to the 4's.  Next diaper trip I'll be bringing home 4's for him.

Thunder Thighs!

Special Visits:  One of my best friends from high school came up to VA for a visit (she lives with her husband in Jacksonville, North Carolina, he is a marine and stationed there right now).  She had a baby, Aiden, in December, so we were both so excited for Dylan and Aiden to meet!  They smiled and talked to each other, it was absolutely precious!  I only get to see Lauren maybe once a year (although we have hour long phone sessions about once a month), so I was SO happy to see her and Adam too!

Firsts:  Dylan is crawling like a speed demon.  He is climbing up on everything and moving from one piece of furniture to the next while holding onto things.  The doctor keeps telling me he is going to be an early walker.  We'll see... We call him Strong Man D, he is SO strong.  He is a ripped little baby, he has back muscles that I've never seen before!

 We went to Burnside Farm for Mother's Day and picked tulips!

The boys rode in their wagon and checked out the pretty flowers.

Mac and Cheese for the first time!  He was obsessed.

He just got a little bit, and it was Annie's brand.  :)

Likes:  He loves to squeal and make all kinds of noises.  Owen really doesn't like it when Dylan starts squealing, and Dylan knows this.  The sibling instigating has begun.  Dylan will chase Owen squealing and laughing while Owen runs away crying!  Dylan is now starting to eat a lot of soft finger foods.  He LOVES bananas!  He also freaks out when he sees the yellow cheerios box, just like Owen did at his age.  :)

 Rummaging through the pantry.  I guess I should get used to this.

 Beating on a package of napkins, one of his favorite things to do.

 Climbing the stairs, yes, he's doing this already.

He LOVES taking walks and chilling out.

He loves riding in the double cart with Owen!

Hanging with Uncle Aaron!

He loves stealing Owen's snack.

Owen sometimes likes to share.

We are about to be very busy again... Such a fun time of year, but sometimes tiring as well.  I hope everyone is have a wonderful Memorial Weekend!

Love,
