First day of school

It has been a busy couple of weeks with mommy being back at work.  Many, many thanks to Grannie Annie for watching Dylan for the last 2 weeks.  Dylan definitely enjoyed her time with Grannie Annie.   Unfortunately mommy did not get many pics of Dylan those first 2 weeks since she was busy adjusting to working life.  However, mommy has been getting in some 5-7 am snuggles.  Dylan loves sleeping on the couch and waching law and order with mommy in the wee hours of the morning.  Daddy caught us one day :)

Our friends Jason and Valerie came into town last weekend for the FSU game.  They were nice enough to buy Dylan some gifts before she was born.  Since they come from the swamp they bought her an awesome pacifier (as well as a gator onesie - no pics of that).


Dylan loves to read books.  Here is a pic of her and Valerie reading before we head out to tailgate.  Dylan rolled herself onto her stomach.  Everytime we look over, she has rolled herself onto her stomach.  We don't need to force the tummy time - she makes sure she does enough every day.  On Veterans Day, while daddy was watching her, she even rolled herself onto her tummy to nap - such a big girl!

It was cold on Saturday for tailgate, so Dylan put on her most adorable hat before heading out.

She always enjoys tailgate, but she doesn't necessarily enjoy being forced to smile for pics with mommy.  Trust me though, she was having a great time :)

She has grown so much and is into so many of her toys.  She enjoys the excersaucer and is getting better at using it.  Though, she often ends up with an arm stuck down in the leg hole.  Thanks Aunt Carrie for the toys!

It was beautiful on Sunday, so while daddy did some much needed yard work, mommy and Dylan headed out to the front yard to enjoy the day.  She had a great time enjoying the breeze and the sunshine!  A coworker rode by on her bike and got to meet Dylan too.  It was a fun time!


Finally, today was Dylan's first day of school.  She hung out in her bumbo while mommy and daddy were getting ready.  She can sit up in it, but prefers to hang out to one side - gangsta style!

Exhausted after her first day of school.  It was her first day playing with other babies, and apparently it tired a baby out!  Hopefully she will get a little better at napping at school or mommy is in for a fun time.  As soon as we walked in this morning she found a male friend who was a couple days older than her and gave him a BIG smile!  She seems to love her teachers and I can't wait for her to get through this adjustment period.
We are looking forward to Thanksgiving in Daytona.  Our first car trip and hotel stay - hopefully it all goes smoothly.  I am sure there will be many pics from our adventures!

  1. I can't tell - is she on her tummy or her side in that first pic? Tummy on chest is my all time favorite snuggle position!!!

  2. Early morning snuggles normally start with side on chest and then moves into tummy on chest. And I totally agree with you - tummy on chest is the best!
