5 months

Dylan turned 5 months old yesterday. He is a very happy baby, during the day at least. He likes to roll over, blow bubbles, screech like a little bird, giggle, and play in his walker and exersaucer. He is eating cereal, bananas, pears, applesauce, sweet potatoes, squash and peas. And he loves it all. Unfortunately, he doesn't like naps or sleeping in general. Oh well, you can't have it all I guess...

Hannukkah is over so we are ready for Christmas! We'll spend Christmas Eve with Chad's family and Christmas with my parents. Time for lots of beer and football. Then we'll rest up for our big trip to Florida New Years Eve. Can't wait!

Its beginning to look a lot like Chrismikkah!

Happy Holidays from Dylan! Maybe next year I will get around to sending cards but this year a blog post is as good as its going to get. Tonight we are celebrating the 6th night of Hanukkah.

Yesterday Dylan dressed up as Santa for our Christmas party at bowling. He loved the attention.
And finally, Dylan turns 5 months on Saturday. Maybe then he'll start sleeping through the night. HA!

White Out!

We are inside hibernating today since we are under a 'blizzard warning'. So I thought I would snap a couple of photos. One other update since yesterday - Dylan is rolling over. He has been close for a while now but last night something finally clicked. He rolled from his back to his tummy. Then did it three more times within ten minutes so I think he's got it figured out. Darn because I have a bad habit of leaving him alone on the changing table...
He has been extremely happy since lunch, which is kind of suprising because he didn't sleep much last night and had a rough time going down for a nap this morning. But here he is. Eating sweet potatoes... Yummy!
And playing in his very favorite toy, the walker. I guess we really didn't need the fancy exersaucer, jumperoo, bumbo sitter, etc. Oh well, live and learn!

Going Bowling!

Late on the blog update again. Lets see whats happened this week... Fiesta the fish has already come and gone. That's right, he only made it 4 days. Darn. Dylan started eating rice cereal, bananas and sweet potatoes. He loves food and wants to hold his own spoon and feed himself. It is messy and very stressful as he panics that we are not feeding him fast enough and throws a fit once its all gone. Oh well.
Chad and I headed to Chicago Saturday night for my college roommate's engagement party and Dylan stayed home for an overnight with grandma and grandpa! We had a great time away but of course we missed the little guy. When we arrived back home Sunday we all gathered round to watch the BCS bowl selection show. We had kinda jumped the gun and had a trip to Phoenix planned but now looks like we are Miami bound on December 31st. Dylan's first vacation. We are excited for warm weather since we got our first snow storm today.
That's all I can think of for now, not very exciting. I didn't take one single picture of Dylan this week so I'll try to get a few posted before the weekend. Happy Hannukkah this weekend!!!
