Dilyn's Many Faces

Dilyn is so expressive and social. He loves to babble, scream, make funny faces, and dance. I caught a few of his faces on camera, so enjoy:

I am still trying to catch his dance on video. It's hilarious and he made the family behind us at church crack up in the middle of someone's talk. oops, lots of distractions! He jiggles his head back and forth and moves his body like a snake.

Also my aunt and grandma came to visit - Dilyn's great-grandma - from Utah. They loved this early warm weather and wanted to stay longer.

Phew, it's over.

I never knew that I could feel so anxious and scared at the same time. Dilyn had a surgery today, and I had to hand him over for 1 1/2 hours. He was already crying because I couldn't feed him for five hours before the operation. So being hungry and tired he cried for 1/2 hour waiting to be put to sleep. Which translates into me crying too. We had to get there at 6 am and his surgery started at 7:30. Talk about a stress buildup. What surgery you ask, well its called hypo-spadia. Basically he needed some straightening of the urine flow downstairs, if you know what I mean. Everything went well and Dilyn is home sleeping a lot. Other than the medications and the two diaper deal it is not too rough on me. He is slowly getting back to himself. In a few days, he will probably be fine.
I don't think I have ever waited in a state of panic and distress for that long - Yea, it's over.

Dilyn watching his first show - San Diego Zoo

He loved it for about 15 minutes, then he was done.

Dilyn and his friend Trevor- it's fun to watch them because they don't know how to play together they just grab eachother's toys.

Kyle and Dilyn ready for church.

Eight months and still growing!

Dilyn loves to stand next to a table or dresser and play up high.

(Yea, his hair looks like it is on fire, but it is really the lamp above him :)

King for the Day

A day at the park. Dilyn loves the swings and playing with mom and dad.

Christmas Activities

Our pretty gingerbread house. I have never made one before so I bought a kit at the store. It was so much fun, I am going to do this every year! Kyle and I are a good team.
Kyle didn't want to be in the picture, he says "we don't need a kit." I think we do :)

Dilyn loves to explore, I hold his hands and he walks over to things. He then trys to dive head first into them, of course I have to help him otherwise he ends up crying

He loved playing hide and seek. He would sit so still while I put the bucket over his head. Then I would say, "Where's Dilyn?" and he would start hitting the bucket. Then I take it off and say peek a boo. Dilyn laughed so hard and then reached out for the bucket to do it again.

Dilyn keeps trying to crawl, but so far he just pushes up with his arms and kicks his legs.

He wishes he could get around.

Yea, Sitting Up

Dilyn at 6 1/2 months, he loves to make the funniest faces.
Dilyn is sitting up all by himself now. He will sit and play by himself while I get things done for 10-20 minutes. It is so nice. I cleaned both bathrooms today while he played in his room. I guess I shouldn't take too much advantage of it. He catches on if you leave him too much :)

Thanksgiving Trip to Idaho

Knocked out cold.

We had to search for it, but we found some snow

My sista Brooke is pregnant and due in March. Yea she is having a girl, I finally get a neice. There are too many boys in my family :)

Nice hunting James and Kyle - poor quail

My two cute boys playing in the mountains.

Dilyn is in his bear suit - trying to stay warm!

We packed up and drove to Idaho to visit Kyle's family. It was a lot of fun to show off Dilyn since most of his siblings had not seen him yet. Dilyn enjoyed being held all week, and he thought mommy should hold him all night too. :) I got lots of sleep!

We had fun horseback riding, visiting, playing games and hiking in the mountains.
