My Little Prince Turns 1!

Dylan turned 1 on June 24th. When Dylan woke up on his birthday, he was so excited to see what Daddy had snuck in the night before...Dave brought home a ton of balloons that filled the ceiling in his playroom.

We were so lucky to have my mom (aka Bubbe) fly into town and stay with us for the big birthday party. It was great to have her here to help. We had a big shopping trip in order to get all the things we would need to prepare for the event.

Dylan LOVED the shopping trip (or just slept through the whole thing). And yes, that is him laying in the cart. Good thing I had an extra big blankie for him to lay on.



Back at the house we started preparing for the party. Dylan thought that the big beach balls were great.


My mom was amazing in keeping Dylan occupied so we could get everything finished.

For the party we rented out a local pool. We had a smaller kiddie pool, but we also were able to use the larger pool which had diving boards and slides. Even the adults had a great time (myself most of all).

As soon as we got home, Dylan wanted to open his gifts and start playing.



The day was perfect! Thank you to all of those who were able to come and share in the celebration of the first year of my little prince's life. What a ride it has been. I can't wait to see what this year will bring...

How can you get mad at that face?

Does he look guilty?

How can you be mad when it was kind of your fault for just closing the gate and not actually locking it? We have to be very careful to LOCK the gate to his playroom because he learned how to open it if it's not locked.

Hand-Held Walking

Dylan loves practicing walking with ANYONE who will walk and walk and walk with him. He will walk for a while and then kind of drop to the floor, but cry when he drops to the floor because he wants to keep walking. It's a crazy cycle we have been enjoying lately.

Look What I Can Do!

It was a glorious day when Dylan started holding his own bottle! He's so cute when he rubs his little hair at the same time.


Dylan's Newest Trick

He is too funny with this little toy in his mouth!

Hey Baby Let's Go to VEGAS...

Dave and I got away for a weekend together for the first time since Dylan was born. It was the first time in Vegas for the both of us! We were there to celebrate our friends who were getting married. We missed the little man, but we definitely had a great time and enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in.

A Birthday Party for Shane

We headed to a park on the water in St. Pete for Shane's 3rd birthday party. It was SUPER hot, but we still had a great time. The airport even had a plane drive over toward the party and let the kids climb in to check it out.

Shane's big brother Antonio is so good with all the kids. Dylan loves hanging out with him.


While all the kids were trying to break the pinata...


Dylan just hung around in the swing...
