Sweet Sleeping Asa

Nothing better than a sweet sleeping baby.  When Dylan was a baby she loved to be all swaddled down tight not Asa she loves her hands touching her face which makes for some cute poses.

Sweet Sleepin' Asa

Snoozin'

All's I can say is 'BED HOG!'

At Work With Dad

A visit to Dad on set lead to Dylan standing in so the crew could light the set. She was a hoot and had everyone in stitches. I was a bit worried that we might not get her out of the chair when it was time to go.

D was a natural - and of course loved all the attention!

The car ride on the way home was very quite.

Goodnight Sweet Girl

And she's out.....

Sleepin'

Dylan hasn't been napping too much these days (the naps kind of went away when chew-chew did). But there is still the occasional day....

First Bike Race

Dylan had her first bike race! And as you can guess L.O.V.E.D. it! It was a beautiful fall day, tons of leaves on the ground, which made it even more beautiful.

Here she is warming up - can't really see but she is allll smiles.

The kiddos all lining up to get ready for the race. Here's d getting hydrated.

And the line up. I didn't get the shot but I think Matt did - the girl to d's left has a squirrel strapped to the front of her bike - in the shot Dylan's petting the girls squirrel as she's striking up a conversation with the little boy to her right - it was hilarious.

Dylan had a blast racing - she was really fast, passed a few kids and then fell down. She instantly got back up jumped on her bike and passed a few more kids. She had her dad's game face on for sure - it was funny. When crossing the finish line she broke down in tears, when asked what was wrong she said "I want to go again" and she did.

Here's a great shot of Pappa Matt and Dylan after the race.











The car ride home ~ so hungry.... must eeaattt

sooooo sleepy.... zzzzz

and she's out.

Nothing Cuter

All Sacked Out

Here's the crew all sacked out downstairs. Oh the girls were in heaven all cuddled up with G-ma. Matt and I were meeting with a friend and realized it had gotten late. We went downstairs to check on the crew and found this - every one asleep - good job G-ma! Hope we didn't wear you out too much!

One Passed Out Little Monkey Girl

I totally forgot about this moment until Matt sent me the photo's. We were in Montana, it had been a LONG day. We barely made it to the hotel before Little Monkey Girl passed out cold! And let me tell you she was OUT. They sure are little angels when they are sleeping. Thought I'd share a laugh with you all.

A Visit With Nee And Nan

Nicknames are already starting to happen. Dylan has named Auntie Anne Nan and Auntie Tiffany is now Nee. Sounds like the makings of a good kid's book series - The Adventures of Nee and Nan. Here's some shots of our visit to Nan's house.






Early Hand Modeling.

Oh boy it's Nee with Nan busy cookin' in the background.

Poor little Pookie, all tired out from a big visit.

Sleepin' In!

Last night we had a sleeping record! This might even make the Guinness Book of World Records ~ I'll have to check. Last night I put Dylan to bed at 7pm, she was so tired I didn't even have to make a second or third trip back to pop in her chew~chew (aka binky, pacifier). Our girl slept solid until 5am - that is 10 hours! Holy cow!!!! And that was 10 hours in her crib. I heard her stirring so I went to go grab her - she had Hoodinied two legs and one arm out of her swaddle - sorry I was too sleepy to remember to take a picture. And I got a big smile. We got her diaper changed, fed, and brought her to our bed for a 2 1/2 hour cuddle. Thank you Dylan!!!! Here's a few pictures from her nap - this is what I get to walk into every time she wakes up.... it's very yummy!

A Funny Story

So while Grandma Montana was in town Matt & I had a 'date night' - yes, we got away for a few hours! We've recently been working on putting Dylan down to sleep in her crib - she's be a noodle in our arms and as soon as we'd put her in her crib her eyes pop open. So for the past few days we've been working on getting her down on the first signs of her being tired. At first she'd last 10 minutes, then 20, then 50 - an all time record! So as we were headed out the door for date night I said to Linda 'Dylan's in her crib, she'll probably wake up soon and then you guys can play', figuring they'd have a little Grandma/Grandbaby play time. Matt and I went out in the hood - like the old days - had a beer, a bite to eat, and tried to stay awake long enough to have a conversation - it was fun. So we head home around 10:30ish, Linda's doing the dishes (thanks Linda!). I ask 'how'd it go?' and Linda says 'oh, she's been asleep the whole time' - Little Miss Dylan Ray slept 3 hours in her crib!!!!!! That's our girl - only sorry Grandma missed out on playtime!

A Day at the Office

Yesterday Dylan and Grandma Montana went to visit Dad at the office for a lunch date (mom got to escape for a massage!). Well let's just say they really worked hard. Apparently Dylan was passed out in the chair for quite sometime. Nice work Grandma Montana, you have this G-ma thing down!
