Dylan is four months old!

Dylan just turned four months old. I can't believe what a big kid he is now, well big as in old. He is still wearing a lot of newborn clothes. He's starting to wear some 0-3 month clothes as well. We just switched him to size 1 diapers, not because he's big enough but newborn diapers are so hard to find. They come up pretty high on his stomach, but they don't fall off when you hold him up anymore so we think he's ready. Diapers should come up to the boobies, right? His favorite toy is a mat on the floor with toys that hang from it. He loves to kick his legs and wave his arms around. Trying to get both fists in his mouth is the newest goal. He likes tummy time, and is getting really good at scooting around. He's very good at rolling over, and blowing bubbles. He
started laughing and thinks that life if pretty funny. He has a
really good smile, it lights up his whole face.



Dylan is pretty opinionated, and is very good at letting you
know what he wants. While we were coming back from Texas
we stayed in Albuquerque on the base. We got a two bedroom
house, since we have a noisy baby, and wanted a bathtub.
Dylan ended up having a really bad day. He was in the car for
five hours.
Then he got to take a bath, after 25 minutes of kicking and swimming he had to get out. He screamed in his daddy face for about an hour, before he fell asleep. At home he gets to sit in front of a little heater to warm up before putting his diaper and clothes on. He was really mad that he had to get out of the bath, and then not having a little heater made him so mad. Then we went out to dinner at an outdoor mall. They had this huge Christmas tree with lots of lights. They had snowflake lights dancing around and Christmas music playing. We watched the lights for twenty minutes and then left because it
was cold outside. Dylan got so mad that we were leaving the lights and the music, he cried all the way back to our house. That was a bad day in Dylan's mind.




As soon as we got home, we unpacked and set up all the
Christmas decorations. Dylan is a huge fan. Grandma gave us a nativity that has a light and sings a song, it's a big hit. We changed up our classic tree, that only had regular lights and gold ornaments, to colored lights that dance around to music. Dylan loves Christmas time. He loves to lay on his mat next to the tree, roll over and try to scoot his way under it. He's quite an active little guy. He has a new trick when he's eating. He has a little bit, and then needs to take a break and see if he's missing anything. He gets really distracted if his Dad is around. Then he's starving 15 minutes later. It's really hard if we're going somewhere. He likes to watch everything and be entertained. We're going to Disneyland soon, and I think that he's going to love all the lights and music. I can't believe how grown up Dylan is now.

  2. I love his spunky personality! Do you have a little portable mini heater? If so could you bring it with you when you come right after Christmas?

  3. Yes, I can bring a little heater. Are you going to use it for baby pictures? I always heat up the room before we take pictures. He's much happier that way.
