IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT...

Clap your hands!!! Watch Dylan in action...

8 MONTHS!

 Dylan is now 8 months old and it's getting much harder to take good pictures of him because he's constantly moving all over the place! He loves rolling around onto his belly! We finally got around to assembling his crib. Before he just slept in the pack n play, but now he gets his own bed! Yay! 

Things I've noticed this month:

** He has 2 top center teeth, and a 3rd tooth on the bottom! 

** Eats puffs and yogurt melts. He prefers soft finger foods instead of the watery baby food. He doesn't know how to put the food in his mouth yet, but is starting to figure out how to hold his own sippy cup!

** Splashes and plays more in the water during bath time

** Sleeps 8-10 hours throughout the night

** Loves story time and likes to turn the pages of the book (He especially likes Pantone Colors and Touch and Feel Farm)

** Babbles and starting to make sounds like Ba Ba Ba

** Claps his hands

** Pulls himself to sit up from his tummy

** Likes to touch people's faces and pull your glasses off

  Every time he's on his tummy, he always raises his head way up high! 

  This month, Lolo and Lola came to visit us! Here's Lola playing with Dylan!

  Dylan and his puffs

While Alex's parents were in town, we went down to San Diego for a family friend's wedding. It was fun getting Dylan dressed up! Alex even got a new suit! My two handsome boys!

La Jolla Cove

 Don't you just love his Converse shoes?

 Dylan doesn't want to sleep! He wants to keep playing with Lolo and Lola!

 Here's Dylan in his 1st Fourth of July outfit! Too bad we didn't have time to go see fireworks!

We all went out to Oto Oto Japanese Restaurant in celebration of my birthday! 

 Dylan's ready to eat!

 Hanging out with Grandpa

Grandma starting him out early! Haha! Don't worry, we were just pretending!

My turn to go swimming with Dylan! I think he's a little scared of the water because he holds his hands tightly together like he's praying for his life! You can see this in almost every picture! It's not until he gets warmed up that he starts to relax. It's funny to watch though!

  

This month was busy!!! Until next time...

Play Date!

Here's a few pics from our lil playdate with Mayumi at the Huntington Library!

 Dylan wants some of that PB&J!!

 Apparently Mayumi doesn't like to share...

 and she was a little bit shy...

 But Dylan has skills and finally convinced her not to run away!

 Having fun

Mommy and Dylan

Water Baby

Summer is here! Today was Dylan's first swim experience! And surprisingly, he did very well! No tears! I was a little anxious about him going into the water, because he doesn't really play much with the water during his baths. But once Alex took him in, he was a natural!

Listening to the instructor

Dunking Dylan into the water

The cutest look after coming back up!

 

 Trying to paddle with his feet

Next lesson: floating on the back

 Look Ma! No hands! 

    Natural bouyancy 

I think Dylan loved being in the water! Can't wait for the next lesson!

Family of Four!

Know what it would be like with 2 kids? Well, we got to test it out this past weekend when my friend brought over her baby Aiden (who is a few days younger than Dylan). It seemed like Alex had a great time! 

 Getting along well! 

I love Dylan's little feet!! so cute! 

I just learned how to post videos online (I know...I took so long. I hope it works!) Below is a video of the two babies. They were getting along just fine until Dylan started to make his voice heard. I think it startled Aiden and made him cry...

Dylan gets to go to Huntington Library alot. This time, Daddy took him and visited the newly remodeled Japanese garden! Looks similar but alot cleaner!

There's his little feet again! Haha!
