8 mos a little late!

Hello Everyone,

We are a little late getting the 8 months update to you since he will be 9 mos in a few days but better late than never.  Dylan is doing new things all the time!  He is becoming such a big boy. 

I'm 8 months Old!

No diaper!

He is now pulling up all the time.  He has even started his big boy crawl at times.  He still army crawls most of the time, I think he finds it more efficient. 

I think I can pull up on this pole!

He started making "Mama" sounds.  Not sure if he is really talking about me but I would like to think he is!  It sounds like "mommom"!  It is adorable.  He is so curious and getting into everything.  We are exploring finger foods.  Cheerios, bananas and watermelon are his favorites.  He has started eating his first "school lunch".  They provide lunch at school so he has been eating veggies and fruit while at school.  It is a great way to have him explore finger foods.  He is talking a lot more and starting to wave bye bye.  He also likes to mimic what you are doing which is hilarious.  In the car on the way home from school we talk back and forth he always has a big smile on his face.

I Love Graham Crackers

I went to Phoenix for work for a few days and got to spend some time with Trav and Molly.  It was great to see them.  Dennis went on his annual fishing trip so Mama and Dylan had a whole week on our own.  We had a lot of fun.  I am responsible for Dylan having about 8 bug bites on his head, the mosquitoes here have been ridiculous and we went to the park which was a mistake.  But they haven't seemed to bother him.

He now has 8 teeth!  Which is crazy!  But I guess we are getting them out of the way quickly!  The last two have really seemed to bother him.  He was having some trouble sleeping through the night while daddy was away.  I haven't had to be up with him in the middle of the night in quite some time and it was definitely not fun!

We have scheduled his tube surgery for his ears.  We have been battling these ear infections for a few months now and it sounds like it is what is best for him.  I'm sure I'll be a wreck the morning of the surgery. 

We have entered the world of cloth diapering.  We still use disposables for him at school but at home we are all cloth.  They are very cute and so soft.  I'm sure they are more comfortable than the disposables.  They have definitely come a long way since diaper pins and plastic pants. 

One of my new Diapers!

Trying to steal the birthday boy's cake!

Hope everyone is doing well!
