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 :)

Tosha and Rory playing with Dilyn.

Nice hunting James and Kyle - poor quail

Kyle is teaching him young, yikes!

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.

5 months - watch out!

Dilyn is the cutest ball of energy ever. He is constantly kicking and jumping around like a kangaroo. He also loves to shake rattles like crazy with his flailing arms.

Dilyn is most often found in his jumper, so he can get the energy out of his little immovable body.

Staying warm in the winter.

More Halloween pics. Kyle and I managed to carve some pumpkins the night before Halloween when Dilyn went to bed. Kyle's the artist when it comes to pumpkins and I just like faces.

Halloween

Dilyn's cute horse costume.

Oh yea, he's hot.

Falling in the pumpkins, literally.

Dilyn trying on a wig.

We celebrated Halloween early at a pumpkin patch with the whole family. We also took family pictures, which was fun. Then we hung out at gma's house for Halloween.

Trip to San Luis Obispo

Kyle took us on his work trip to SLO. So after hanging out with Dilyn at the hotel, sight seeing, and eating dinner with the audit team all week we had a fun weekend.

We camped at Pismo Beach and played in the sand all weekend. Dilyn was so good; the trip would have been much harder otherwise.

Toes in the sand

Dilyn playing at the park.

Taking a walk along the Morro Bay coast.

We had a blast, Dilyn loves being outside.
The thur. night market in SLO was awesome - thanks Ellie for the advice

Getting so close

He likes to step around in his jumper, hasn't figured out the jumping thing yet.

So close to sitting up :)

Dilyn can now roll over from his stomach to his back.

He is getting so close to sitting up by himself. If he has a little support from something (like a basket) then he can. He is sooo fun to play with as he laughs a lot.
