Dylan Is Walking!

:: Tags: Awesome, Dylan, Video


10/26/2011 – Dylan is officially walking on his own!!

That’s right folks, you heard it here first… Dylan is officially walking on his own! His balance still needs a little tweaking, but for the most part I think we’re ready to send him out into the wild! Just kidding, but he is doing very well and we’re very proud of his progress to this point. Next bench mark… potty training!!

Dylan The Fireman

Dylan and Dad checking out one big Fire Truck… Oh sorry, I meant Urban Rescue Vehicle!

Arlington County Fire Department held their annual fire safety open house recently and Dylan, Julie and I made an appearance at our local fire station on 10th Street. It was a nice day for the middle of October and all the doors at the station where open, but once we got inside we realized that most of the fire engines were out on a call. Oh well, it still turned out to be a fun day and Dylan even got his picture taken with some of the fire fighters from Engine Company #4!

Dylan On The Move

:: Tags: Dylan, Family, Video


8/30/2011 – Some of Dylan’s very first steps!

Dylan is finally starting to get his ‘move’ on! Yep, he’s learning to trust his balance and starting to take some unassisted steps. At this rate he should be walking on his own by the end of the month! Although, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but it will surely help with my sore shoulder.


9/28/2011 – Dylan walking between Julie and Stephanie in Bermuda

Bermuda Vacation 2011

And then Dylan says…”flip me over in an hour or if you happen to smell flesh burning.”

The more time we spend in Bermuda, the more we want to go back… go figure! It’s one of those places’s that you just can’t seem get enough of no matter how hard you try! This trip we brought along our son’s nanny Stephanie, to help look after him and give Julie and I a chance to possibly do some diving or play a couple rounds of golf. I must say, it was another beautiful week in paradise and Dylan had the beach bum look really working for himself by the time we had to leave. I’ll add some videos from our trip later, but until then here are the best-of-the-best trip photos to hold you over… enjoy!

Hayes Water Park…

We are quite fortunate to have a very nice play ground and water park just down the street from our house and during the summer this becomes Dylan’s favorite place to hang out! Here are a few photos of Dylan and Julie playing at the park this past summer.

An Early Bermuda Getaway

:: Tags: Dylan, Family, Photo, Travel


Our little Dylan eyeing Julie’s frozen margarita… the answer is NO!

Spring time in Bermuda is always fantastic and this year would prove to be no different. One nice spin on this years early vacation would be the celebration of Dylan’s second trip to the Island. Now that he’s a little older and much more mobile, we will get to see how he reacts to the huge sand box known as the beach. The last time he was here he had a major fit every time Julie or I tried to put him down in the sand. Since then, Julie has spent a great deal of time working with him in the sand box at our local playground. Hey, he’s my son… he’s got to love the beach, right!!

I’ll try to post some videos from the trip when time permits, but for now, we hope that the Lightbox photo gallery will hold you over… Enjoy!!

Dylan’s Easter Vacation

:: Tags: Dylan, Holiday's, Video

Okay, I know you’ve all been waiting patiently for me to finish editing the videos from our Easter vacation to Florida, so finally, here it is… our official ’Dylan in West Palm’ video montage. I have to thank my brother for the video editing software he got for me this past Christmas… it really works well and makes the editing process for large format HD videos so much easier!

Dylan vs. The Kitchen Door…

:: Tags: Dylan, Video

Here are a couple more cute videos of Dylan using his new found mobility skills to try and explore more of his great big new world. I have a feeling he’s going to be just like his dad… an escape artist!
