This is our story

Dylan

2 months old

Dylan just had his two month check up. He is doing so well. He's 7 pounds 2 ounces, and 10%, instead of 1% on body weight. He gained 1 1/2 pounds in just the last few weeks. It seems like he was 4 and 5 pounds for ages. He's like a real baby now. He's out of preemie clothes, and starting on newborn. Most of his clothes drown him, but it's nice to have him in newborn clothes. He had to have his shots and that was pretty hard. His dad is much braver than I am and held him. He cried a lot. The next few days were hard. He's had a fever, and his little legs are swollen and really sensitive. He wants to be held if he's awake, and he's so fussy. Shots are no fun.

Last night we went to the road show that our church was doing. The last time I saw a road show I was 11, and I remember it being so much fun. There was a dinner and you watched all the different wards do a skit. This was a little different, it was held at a church a few miles away, and there were a lot of people there. We invited Darren and Sierra to go with us, and met them there.  The funniest part for me was sitting with my husband, while we watched 10 skits on missionary work. I didn't know that the theme was I hope they call me on a mission. Ben is such a good sport. He had to fast that day, and hadn't eaten since the night before. Halfway through the show he ate the fruit snacks in the diaper bag, and made it until the end. There were a few skits that were really funny, it was a fun night out. We went to Applebee's after and Ben got to eat. Dylan threw up on him halfway through dinner. He's such a good dad, he got him cleaned up, and held him until he went back to sleep.

Today has been a hard day. Dylan is still not feeling well, and just wants to be held. Ben had to leave to go to train in Arizona for two weeks. It's never fun to have him gone. Here are a few of the highlights of the day, Ben flew over the house in the helicopter, and we got to see him leave. He called a few hours later to let us know that he made it, Dylan had been crying and his dad talked to him on the phone, and he instantly stopped crying. He sure loves his daddy. We went for a few walks, and sat outside for awhile. It's been rainy for the last few days, and was so nice out today. We can't wait to have Ben back home again.
