Dylan's First Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

On Monday night, Dylan and Daddy watched the Giants and the Cowboys play football. Football is Dylan's favorite thing to watch on tv, with Sponge Bob Squarepants coming in a close second.

Dylan is very serious about the game.

On Saturday, Dylan went went with Mommy and Daddy to the pumpkin patch in Smokey Point. Aunt Feebs, Grandma Helen, and Papa Rob met Dylan there. In this picture, Dylan snuggles with his Aunt Feebs.

Here, Dylan tries out Papa Rob's sunglasses. Pretty cool!

Grandma Helen shows Dylan the Dylan-sized pumpkins.

Dylan helps pick out a few winners after a close inspection.

These pumpkins were just the right size.

Dylan takes time out of his busy day for a photo opportunity with Mommy and Daddy.

Mommy, Daddy, and Dylan met up with Ira, Tracy, and Landon in Lynnwood. We all went to Claim Jumpers for dinner, and then shopped at the mall and at Babies 'R Us. Here, Dylan wanted to try some of Mommy's water. He couldn't get enough!

Buddy's T-Shirt

Today, Little Buddy hung around the house with Daddy. Little Buddy wore a t-shirt that Daddy bought for him before he was born. It was the first time that he had worn a t-shirt. He is excited that it's Monday night and he can watch some more football.

If mommy won't get it for me......I guess I'll get it myself :)

OH....HI! I guess you caught me. Really mom it's ok I'll get it myself.

Dylan Goes To Spokane

On Friday, Dylan kept himself busy by playing with his feet. Mommy had to work, and Daddy got everything ready for the trip over to Spokane. Dylan, Daddy, and Chris picked up Mommy when she was off work and headed straight to Spokane, with only a stop in Issaquah for Dylan's dinner.

We stayed at Rob and Jamie's house in Post Falls. On Saturday morning, Dylan took a bath with Mommy so he would be ready for his big day.

We met up at Nana and Papa's house in the morning, and then we all headed back to Post Falls for breakfast with Gordon and Dawn.

Dylan had fun seeing Nana and Papa, and Papa knew just the trick to help Dylan fall asleep.

On Saturday night, we met up with Chris at Larry and Heather's house. Dylan got to play with Jake and Larry Jr.

Here, Dylan and Jake checked each other out.

Today we took Dylan to the doctor for a check up. He weighed 20 pounds and 13 ounces!

Over the weekend, Dylan showed that he is very good at sitting up on his own. In this picture, Dylan sat up on his own, surrounded by some pillows to cushion any falls, while Daddy published this blog. Dylan has sat up for five or more minutes at a time without any support!

October 10th

On Wednesday, Dylan rode in his new car seat for the first time! He was almost too big for his infant seat, so he moved up to a convertible seat. Dylan seemed to like that he could stretch out in this one.

On Wednesday night, we went to James and Kathy's house in Everett.
On Thursday, we joined Dave and Sharon (Stealth and the Badass) at Applebees for lunch. Dylan sat in a high chair for the first time!
