Halloween 2013

So excited for our first Halloween as a family! We had lots of fun getting ready and went to two pumpkin patches, one just the two of us and the other with everyone! We went to a fun Halloween party that was to be a costume party but yet we were really the only adults dressed up. We still had fun and Dylan loved seeing all the people and eating cookies! I had found her costume online and was so upset that it was sold out on every website…so we loaded up to go look at the Halloween store and it was our lucky day…they had two of the very costume in her size!! She was such a cute monster!

9 Months Old!

Ahh…what happened to the month?? Now that she is 10 months old today…here is an update. 9 months old…she weighed in at 19lbs and 12oz and was 28 1/2 in long. She is in 9 month clothes and still doing size 4 diapers. Still not sitting up on her own but the doctor is not worried since she can sit by herself just maybe hasn't had a reason to go from laying to sitting. She loves to sing and dance. She is doing really well with food and eats 3 meals a day with plenty of bottles in between. Still waking up twice a night to eat. She says dada, bye bye, hi, mama, bottle, baby, cup, puppy, pretty, pee pee…I think that is it…but here lately she only says mama and bye bye even though she knows how to say it. Recap of the month in pictures…

8 Months Old!

Almost 9 Months old but better late than never!! At 8 month Dylan was weighing in at 19 lbs!! She is sporting 6-9 month clothes and still rocking the size 4 diapers. She still cannot sit up on her own but can sit if I put her there but I don't think she really likes it since she cannot really get anywhere that way. She loves playing with Gracie's toys over her own! She talks...non stop! She says dada, bye bye, hi, mama, and bottle. She is doing good with real food these days and her favorite is definitely sweet potatoes. She is not a fan of anything sweet like fruit or juice (who's child is she?). She rocks and sings herself to sleep now but is still not sleeping through the night and usually wakes up twice a night...mama is tired!! She is definitely turning into a much happier baby overall though. She loves giving kisses and has the sweetest laugh in the world!! She loves bath time and loves splashing in the water and drinking the water..haha! She loves going out, especially to the store. I finally bought her a little seat for the buggy so she can ride in style. She got to go to her first Razorback tailgate this month too! Here are a few pictures of the month.

Tailgating fun!

Super Cheesy Face!

7 Months Old!

Wow how time flies! Dylan is 7 months old (and then some since I am behind)! She is getting so big! She is weighing in at 17 lbs 12 oz and is 27 inches long! She is still in size 3 diapers but we are doing a trial of the 4's! She is in 6 month clothes still but could stand to do the 9 months! She still hasn't gotten the hang of that whole sitting up thing...she will sit up fine if I prop her there but has no clue how to do it herself. She is still hopping on her back and rolling everywhere. She talks...all the time!! She says bye-bye, dada, and hi and not that it fell in the 7 month, she started saying mama on August 28th...it was quite possibly the sweetest thing I have ever heard! She got to go to the ocean for the first time and really wasn't sure about it at first but then she was a little water bug! She also got to meet lots of family that she had never met before. Her hair is getting so long and is pretty unruly, especially since she cannot sit up and it is so curly!! She is doing a little better with food but isn't too crazy about it! Sweet potatoes are her favorite and she hates all fruit so far! Her feet finally touch the bottom of the exersaucer and she loves it! Here are a few pictures to capture our month!
