Moving on...

Hello everyone! I've been pretty busy here lately. I went on my first vacation to the Outer Banks! It was GREAT! I loved the water and really enjoyed spending time with my family. One day I showed up on the beach and I had the same outfit on as my second cousin Lil' Mel. It was pretty cool. I also ate some sand during my trip, which doesn't taste as bad as everyone says. I cannot wait until next year when I can take long walks on the beach and eat more sand when no one is looking.

I am becoming more and more mobile everyday. I am learning to crawl and I'm pulling myself up on anything I can get my little hands on. I also started waving on Monday. I am making it very difficult for Mommy and Daddy to get any of this on video. Here is what I'd let them tape...

Been waaaayyyyy too long!

Hello everyone! It has been FOREVER since I last blogged. Gosh...where do I even start?? I've been doing all kinds of things since my March blog. I am sitting up like a big boy, lifting myself up on my hands and knees, standing up with 'couch support', working on a tooth or two, and enjoying yummy foods like french fries, spaghetti, ice cream cake and I even had a piece of a Pazzo's pretzel yesterday. For those of you who have had Pazzo's pretzels, you know what I mean when I say "AMAZING".



My Mommy keeps saying I make her heart happy, not sure what she means, but she says it with a smile so I guess it's a good thing. Daddy is awesome at making me laugh these days - he's pretty darn silly for such a big guy. Mommy says that we make the same face when we get our picture taken...

I'm going on my first vacation next week. We're headed to OBX (AKA Outer Banks of NC). My Mommy tells me that it's the Schuler Family's 20th year visiting. This place must be really cool. Why the heck would they go to the same place for 20 years??!!!??? I will definitely blog about it when I get back.

Just a side note, I never got that blackberry I blogged about. I kinda outgrew the swing and I'm way too busy getting ready to crawl to be on that thing all the time.

Lots of love to all my peeps!

Screaming like a girl...

This video says it all...

Eatin good...

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I last typed...

In the past few weeks, I have become a food connoisseur. My mommy and daddy have given me rice cereal, oatmeal, green beans, bananas, peas and carrots. My next treat is sweet potatoes. I'm a very good eater. Nana says my mommy never had to wear a bib because she didn't let anything fall out of her mouth. I think I'm going to try to be just like mommy. My dog Rudi is trying to convince me that he deserves at least half of what I eat. Sorry bout your luck Ru-Ru!

I have also started laughing when my mommy and daddy do silly things. It's pretty funny to watch them try and think of things to make me laugh. Sometimes I make it easy on them and other times I make them work really, really hard.

I'm getting really good at this typing thing. I think I'm gonna ask my mom and dad for a cell phone next month. I'd really like a blackberry so I can update my blog from my swing.

Until next time...

Rolling over!

Yesterday, I rolled over from my tummy to my back for the first time. I was playing in my gym on the floor doing some push-ups (gotta build these baby muscles) and all the sudden I rolled over on my back! I was so excited because I HATE being on my tummy. If mommy tries to put me on my tummy again, then I'll have to remember how to roll back over again...I'll show her! Mommy was so excited and was encouraging me to do it again, but I just kept smiling at her instead. Mommy said she was so proud of her little boy who is growing so fast. I will be 5 months old next week!

Lately, I have been waking up in the middle of the night for really no reason, which has made for several sleepless nights for both mommy and daddy. When I wake up crying, mommy or daddy put my pacifier back in my mouth, but it doesn't keep me asleep for long. It is quite frustrating for mommy and daddy because this goes on for a long time. Some nights it's at least a couple of hours before I finally settle down and stay asleep and then I'm up a couple of hours later because I'm hungry. I'm sure one day mommy and daddy will look back on these days and say remember when, but right now all they are saying is "remember when we got some sleep". Oh well, I think they are also thinking I am so worth the lack of sleep.

Dylan's 1st Snow Storm

We got hit with our first big snow storm of the year. Mommy and Daddy were home with me for the past two days, but Daddy headed back to the office today. I must have asked at least 10 times if I could go outside and play in the snow, but they kept telling me that I was "too little", "maybe next year", and yadda yadda yadda. I decided to pull up a chair and sit and watch instead. I'm already looking forward to next year's first big snow!
