The Night Watches

As with all things here, I am really behind in getting this post up! So on the same day that Jack turned 3, Dylan turned 1 year old! Yes, it is true, they have the same birthday! I was induced with both boys, and we figured that having the kids birthdays only a day apart was not as fun... so now we have a big party for both boys. This past year has flown by. Dylan was my biggest baby by far, weighing a whopping 9lbs 2 oz. The labor and delivery were pretty much the same as Jack, and he was instantly dear to my heart. It was amazing to hold this little one, with a head full of dark brown hair, and just love him so completely from the start. As I was gathering pictures from this past year, I was reminded of things that I had already forgotten! Right before Jack was diagnosed with ALL, Dylan was admitted to the hospital for RSV. He also had a serious case of thrush, that lasted a painful 5 months or so. Oh, and I just remembered the cradle cap he had, man did I try everything to g...

Oh I love my sweet little Dylan boy... He is such a cutie pie, and he keeps me running around after him. With three teeth, and a fourth on its way, this little rascal is done with baby food, almost altogether. He sees mac n' cheese, he wants it. If his brothers are eating something, so must he! He is also chasing after them all day, joining in the wrestling and tickling, he is a speedster when it comes to getting places. I often loose track of where he is, because he is gone so quickly. And yes, the boy loves to climb the stairs. I have no idea what kind of man he will become, but it is certain God has gifted him in unique ways, and it will be a joy to watch those gifts develop and grow as he gets older. But for now, I am a busy mommy to a rascal of a boy. I love every minute of it.

Where has the time gone?? I cannot believe this little squirt is already 8 months old! So much has happened developmentally with him the past two months! Here is a quick recap: He is crawling like crazy, he is pulling up and standing most of the time, he eats solids like there is no tomorrow, and he JUST started taking a bottle!! He has two big brothers to keep up with, so I guess that is why he is always on the move. No teeth yet, but some serious teething and fussiness going on here. He also got a hair cut, around the same time we cut Jacks hair. He looks so different to me, but so adorable! He is still on the tiny side of things. He is in size 6-9 month clothes, but I think he could still fit into some 3-6 month stuff. He is so tiny, which makes it hard to believe he is already 8 months old. Oh I love this little rascal.
