7 Months

Hello!  Hope you are all doing well.  We are doing great!  Dylan is growing up so fast.  We survived another ear infection, we might be candidates for tubes pretty soon if he keeps getting them :(  I know it is for the best but it makes me really sad to think of my baby having surgery (even if it's outpatient). 

I turned 30 this month!  Yeah for me!  Dennis organized a little party for me and Erin and Jessie came from out of town.  We had a great time.  Here is Dylan with cake #1 and the card he made me at school.

Cake #2!  I guess when you get this old, you get 2 cakes!  It must help you deal with the pain :) 

Dylan has been doing some new things.  He is army crawling like a mad man since last weekend.  He also gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth all the time, so crawling with be happening very soon we think.  Sometimes he launches himself into a faceplant when he is doing that.  It is so very cute.  He has started getting in his 3rd tooth.  The 4th one is going to be joining it any day, you can see and feel it is right there.  They are his top middle teeth.  He has started eating cheerios as a finger food.  It is hilarious.  He doesn't quite have his pincer grip down yet, he'll use it to pick up the cheerio but then he has trouble putting the cheerio in his mouth in the two fingers, he tries to shove it in with his whole hand.  Usually the bulldogs get some moist cheerios that have fallen from the highchair while he is trying. 

We celebrated our first Father's Day.  Dennis got to sleep in and have a nice relaxing day at his request.  We hung out as a family, took a walk with the dogs and made a nice big dinner!  Dylan made him a little finger painting at school, it is very cute!  It even came with its own mini easel!  He also helped me wrap his Daddy's present and wrote Daddy and put a drawing on it! 

Here is Dylan's 7 month picture.

I cannot believe it has already been 7 months.  Time is going by too fast!  But we are enjoying every minute with our special little guy.  We don't have a lot planned for the summer.  I am glad that we get to relax and enjoy our first summer w/o having to worry about a lot of events and trips!  We are heading to Algona for Founder's Day.  That should be a lot of fun! 

We are putting a fence around our backyard.  We figured it was probably best since we live on a pond and having a toddler.  It will also be  blessing for the bulldogs!  They are going to be psyched to play in the yard w/o a leash!  It should be done about a week from today. 

Well that is all for now. I hope everyone is well and has a happy and safe 4th of July! 

Love, the Scavnicars
