Dancing...

New toy from Target... Dylan thinks it's a hit!

Things Dylan is doing these days...

I am too lazy to upload pictures at the moment but Dylan is such a character. At the moment, she is a crying and tired character but she usually provides hours of happy entertainment. She has a few funny things she has been doing.

1. She has learned to spit her food out when she is full or doesn't like it. It is really hilarious except for the fact that it requires an outfit change. When am I going to learn to keep bibs handy when feeding?!

2. She has also been throwing things out of her crib or exersaucer and then looking for them over the edge. I'm sure I'll get tired of retrieving them but right now it's so cute to see her face when it goes over the edge. Maybe we'll try and teach Brooklyn to retrieve and return.

3. She took her first steps with one of those push toys. Wobbly but steps nonetheless!

4. And she crawled up all 14 stairs. It took her about 15 minutes with many many rests in between.

February pictures and 9 month stats...

Dylan had her 9 month appointment today and here are her stats:

Height: 27.5 inches - she's in the 50 percentile

Head Circumference: 43.5 cm - she's in the 55 percentile

Weight: 16.13 lbs - she's in the 15 percentile

She still has some rolls but she's getting skinny!

Practice practice practice!

She only has 2 teeth but I guess it's never too early to practice brushing in the back. Usually she fights me when I try and brush her 2 teeth but today she opened her mouth and just let me do it! I hope that happens tomorrow too.

When Dylan sees something she wants... she makes a beeline for it. Unfortunately for Brooklyn... Dylan wanted her today. What a good dog. She lets Dylan pull her tail, tug on her toes, grab her nose, play in her food... poor dog is tormented daily!

Monroe and Dylan - friends from day 1!

More pictures.

My parents came down from Seattle for the day to see Dylan and have lunch. And bring me some home cooked chinese food. :)

Trying to start good habits since she does have 2 teeth now. Although she's a little bit like some patients... haven't figured out which end of the toothbrush to use.

We had to lower her bed a notch... she's standing now every chance she gets!

Dylan is her dad's daughter! Here she is dominating my iPhone.

Dylan has also inherited some traits from me! Interested in Nordstrom already... it's going to be an expensive 18+ years to come!

She's standing!!!

The big news these days... Dylan is pulling herself up and standing. She is so much fun these days! A happy and curious girl.

This was a funny moment... it's like she was explaining to the dog how the toy worked.

And Brooklyn, being the good dog she is, played along.

Firsts for Dylan.

Yum - first time Dylan tried ice cream. I think it was a hit!

BLUEBERRIES! Messy!

We went to Black Butte for New Years and there was snow everywhere! From the look of it... she doesn't like it.
