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!
It seems like forever since I’ve posted any good video’s of Dylan, but now that he’s finally crawling the thrill of trying to capture his classic moments has become much more interesting. His mobility factor went up about 150% with his new found skills and so has his curiosity level making him a very eager little explorer. He is also a very vocal little man which is good at times… at least we know when he’s moving from room to room!
This weekend, Dylan decided to dump the army crawl thing and pop up on his hands and knees to show us that he is ready to explore the rest of the house. I think he was just waiting for me to get off my ass and put up the baby gates!
Master Dylan, on his first birthday, having his cake and playing with it too…!
I’m finally getting up some photos from Dylan’s very first birthday party. I think it kind of turned out to be more of a party for the adults than for Dylan and the other kids that attended, but our sons first full year on the planet is an occasion worth going a little over board on! One personal note for future events…. no more blue cakes!!!
The beginning stages of our new slate patio project – “Ha, what a mess!”
We decided to go ahead and start our patio project this past fall in hopes that it would be finished and ready for our T.G.I.S Party this coming spring. The landscaping company we’re using, Land Art Design, insured us that laying a patio and doing minor landscaping in the winter time is no problem and actually works out better as long as we don’t get any major snow storms. So after several weeks of designing, planning and kicking around numbers, Laura and her team showed up to break ground and start the first phase of the project project.
Now… almost two months into it, the project is really starting to come together and so far I must say we have been truly pleased! We just can’t say enough about the quality and workmanship shown by the people at Land Art Design and we’re really looking forward to using our new outdoor living space for many years to come! Thanks Laura…!!
Dylan’s first New Years Eve… Watching the ball drop on TV!
Happy New Year Everyone!! We took a year off from our normal evening out to stay in and celebrate the ball dropping with Dylan. Yeah, we could have gotten a babysitter and gone out on the town, but it was Dylan’s first New Years Eve, so we elected to spend it with the little guy! Julie got Dylan a festive balloon for the occasion and we gave him his first taste of champagne at the stroke of midnight…. unfortunately, the champagne Julie bought really wasn’t very good and Dylan didn’t care for the taste at all.
The next day, we all made the drive down to my parents place for our annual New Years family dinner. Mike and Julia were there for the occasion and Dylan got a chance to play with my brothers dog, Neema, while we waited for my mothers food to hit the table. It was a wonderful dinner and a great start to what we hope will be a fantastic New Year for all of us!
It was wonderful having the family over to our house for Dylan’s first Christmas. Even though he’s really too young to understand the reasoning behind the gathering, I’m sure by the expressions on his face that he likes the personal attention (and the gift’s) he has received on this day! Julie and I are also blessed to have such a beautiful son and family and friends that care so deeply for us and Dylan… thank you all and God bless!
Dylan day-dreaming in his floaty at the pool – South Seas Island Resort, Captiva
Every other year we try to make the trip down to Captiva Florida to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with Julie’s family and all of her Cousins, Nieces and Nephews. It’s always a nice time getting together with Julie’s immediate family, but being able to get the entire family together in one place like this every two years is truly special. What made this year even more special was that there would be a new member added to the family reunion… little Dylan! Not only would this be Dylan’s first trip to Florida, but more importantly it would be the first time that Dylan would get to meet Julie’s Cousins and their children.
Julie, Dylan and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for a wonderful week! We look forward to getting together with everyone again soon, but until then please keep in touch. I’ve added some photos from the weeks events to this post… and yes, I know that most of them are of Dylan, but honestly… what did you expect?!
An absolutely picture perfect day at Belmont Bay Marina – Nov. 14, 2010
Well it’s done… the boat is completely winterized and another awesome boating season unfortunately comes to a close. After finishing the work on the boat and installing the winter cockpit cover, I took a few moments to reflect on the past summer and then snapped off a few photos of the beautiful fall colors as I left the marina for the last time this year. It’s probably going to be another bad winter and I sure am going to miss her, but on a positive note… next season is only 4 or 5 months away!!
OMG! How could you not love a smile like that… what a cutie!!!
For all you Dylan fans… Just thought I’d share some new photos I recently took during one of his more playful evenings at home. He’s about 9 months in these photos and he is really starting to look more and more like me every day… at least I think so!! :-) I’ll try to upload some of his latest video’s to my site soon, but for now I hope you enjoy the photos…
