Not One But Two

As The Count from Sesame Street would say "Not one but two, two wonderful teeth, whaahaaa, ahhaahhaaa". Yet another tooth has broken through D's bottom gum. Look close you can see both her teeth (if you click on the picture it will enlarge).

Under the Coffee Table

Someone thought they were super funny hiding out under the coffee table!

Search And Rescue

Here's a great little video of Dylan. It starts off with D all giggly in her PJ's, oh, then on the move rolling over and over (notice how softly she lays her head down as she rolls). She then kicks her alphabet spider (under the orange chair) which starts playing music. 'What's that noise?' Dylan thinks to herself and then is on the hunt. She spins herself around, finds the music, rolls herself onto her back, listens closely to make sure that's the music she's hearing, and then lays back and examines her find. Brilliant! So fun to watch her figure stuff out.

First Tooth @ 7 1/2 Months

Yup, Dylan's first tooth is on it's way in AND she's taking it like a champ ~ a little drooly, okay she's really drooly but still laughing. I've had a feeling for the past few days that she'd be getting one in very soon. Today she was rubbing her tongue over her bottom gum so we checked and sure enough there is a little tooth pushing it's way up.

First Word

I'll give you one guess....

Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah....

Oh The Places I Can Go

Our girl is rolling all over the place. The other day she got herself under a chair and let me tell you she was sooooo proud of her little self. Nice work Punky ~ anyone have a ball and chain they can lend us for the next 18 years?

Happy Halloween

Awe, first Halloween... Up on the Ave, by our house, the shopkeepers were having a little trick or treating for the kiddies. I got Dylan all dressed up and we headed up to see all the fun costumes. We spent a few weeks trying to think of a good costume for D. Everyone kept asking 'What's Dylan going to be for her first Halloween?'... I thought of a little Dalai Lama or Buddah, or Dorothy from the Wizzard of Oz or one of the flying monkey's, Little Red Riding Hood and her big bad black dog wolf, a squirrel... but final decision was Dylan in Wonderland. Here's a few great shots her dad got.

D was soooo excited! She was grinning from ear to ear. But then again she's usually grinning from ear to ear.







We decked out the stroller and went up to the Ave for a little trick or treatin' fun. People kept offering Dylan candy, one lady offered her a lollypop and I was like 'Uh, no thank you, she doesn't have any teeth'. The lady smiled and I realized neither did she.

Here's D's perspective. We followed Thing 1 and Thing 2 for a while, saw lots of witches, puppy dogs, fairies, lady bugs, cowboys, and we even talked to a banana. Mr. banana commented on how smily D was and I said "Yeh, I think she thinks you're breakfast". He laughed and walked off, I don't think he thought I was serious.

Halloween night as we waited for our 8 trick or treaters to come Matt and I did a little photo shoot with Dylan and her Halloween Pj's she got from cousin Lydia.

I love this next picture. It looks as though we were in the middle of telling Dylan and Maggie a spooky ghost story as they both seem to have the same expression on their face. What you don't know in the making of this shot was me behind Matt behind the camera saying 'cookie' - awe, the magic you don't see that happens behind the camera.

Happy first Halloween Dylan. It looked as though you enjoyed yourself, I know your Mom and Dad did! Maybe next year you can have that lollypop.
