HAPPY 6 MONTHS!

Dylan made it to his 6 month birthday and below are his stats from the pediatrician office.

HEIGHT: 25.5 INCHES ( 10 %)
WEIGHT: 15 LBS 1.5 OZ (15%)
HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE: 43 CM (50%)


Things I've noticed this month:
** Eats solids 3 times a day; (loves butternut squash, not too keen on carrots, has also tried peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, bananas, rice cereal and oatmeal)
** Because he is eating solids, more smelly poopy diapers, but the good thing is no more blowouts!
** Has 2 bottom teeth
** Only puts soft objects and blankets in his mouth
** Has more hair than Daddy now!
** Likes sleeping on his side
**Enjoys "raking" (scratching everything he touches)
** New goal is to start crawling, so that means more tummy time!


Alex is such a proud dad that he even got a birthday cupcake for Dylan! 

Happy birthday!!

Dylan: Wow this is great! I can't wait to eat it!
Ahhh...

Hey bring my cake back!
I mean it! Give it to me!
Pout, pout. I didn't get to eat my cake.  
Sorry Dylan, get some more teeth and you can have all the cake you want!

 Soon he forgot about the cake and was all happy again!

 Getting bored
Just chilling. 
 So fresh and so clean after a bath!
 Catching a shot of Dylan as he falls down
Loving Mommy's bed! 

Acting like a fish!
 Loves his feet!
It was Alex's birthday last month, so we surprised him at work with cake!! He was super happy! 


Below are a few pics from Lacy Park in San Marino. There were alot of kids there! Dylan enjoyed looking around.

 Sitting in the swing for the first time!

 I think he liked the handles more than the swing itself.
 Bottom of the slide! Weeee!

I've been back to work for a month now. Sometimes we've had to take Dylan to Grandma's house. It's hard leaving Dylan, but he has such great grandparents to babysit! 

 Uncle Clint's hand me down suitcase! 

When I went back to work, Alex took care of Dylan for about a month. Alex would often take him to the park and watch tennis. One day, Alex put some sunscreen on Dylan.  
 Looks so funny. Like he's going to battle.
Such a good sport!

5 MONTHS


Can you believe it? Dylan is now 5 months and below are his stats from the pediatrician office.

HEIGHT: 25 INCHES ( 10-15 %)
WEIGHT: 14 LBS 5 OZ (10-25%)
HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE: 42.5 CM (50%)

Dylan was such a good boy! He didn't cry when he got his shots and was smiling at the doctor the whole time.

 Dr. Wang calls him little Buddha! 
Just chillling
I'm ready for my shots

Things I've noticed this month:

** Started on solids; that might explain the increase in biting during nursing...OUCH!
** Has his first middle bottom tooth!  
** Able to sit up unassisted for a little bit and tries to pull himself up from his seat
** Sits in his toddler seat
** Pulls down on his infant carrier toy (before he would just reach for it)
** Wears size 2-3 diapers 
** Cries alot louder (maybe from the teething)

Below are some pictures of Dylan in action.

Trying to sit up
In my toddler seat and loving it!

THE HUNTINGTON LIBRARY

Dylan loves being outdoors, so we took him to the Huntington Library.  The Huntington is an educational and research institution where it displays an art collection strong in English portraits and French 18th-century furniture.  It also has botanical gardens that feature sections for the historic cactus collection, the Zen Garden, the Chinese Scholar's Garden and many other specialty gardens. We took Dylan to the children's garden!


Little door for little people


Testing out the fountain
I think he likes it!



Smelling the flowers
The turtle is my friend

Again at the fountain
This time with Daddy
He's pooped! What a day!
