Ouch!!

Well people have warned me that this was going to happen...the biting has begun. Dylan is teething so of course it feels good to bite down on things. The other day I was nursing and all of a sudden he bit down with his gums. I said "No Dylan" in a stern mommy voice. When I looked down he was still gnawing on my nipple while laughing and flashing a devilish little grin. Mischievous already...definitely my child!

Back on Track

When Dylan started to cry I thought "Oh no...not this again". Then I looked at the clock...4:58 and I thought "Oh yes! He slept through the night...yay for us!" I hope this means we're getting back on track.

Snuggle Bug

I am almost convinced that my son has grown too comfy snuggling with mama at night. We were very lucky from the get go with Dylan...within the first week home he was sleeping up to 6 hours a night. Soon it bumped up to 8 hours. Lucky us! I was very adamant that baby would not be sleeping in our bed. We were doing great until I went back to work. It then became easier to justify snuggling because I wasn't seeing him as much. But every time I cave I don't get a good nights sleep...I swear Dylan thinks I'm an all you can eat buffet. And now all this snuggling is beginning to bite me in the caboose. The last 2 nights he has ended up in our bed because he has woken up crying...this must stop before it becomes unstoppable. Must be strong tonight despite the cutest of my son.

Dylan's Best Friends

Dylan has become fascinated with the dogs lately. If I hadn't been in the middle of pumping breast milk I would have caught this moment on video. We had Dylan in his bumbo seat and he was literally turning his torso to see Brewer. He started smiling when Brewer came into sight. Suddenly Bailey barked from behind the couch which startled Dylan. I thought he was going to cry but instead he starting cracking up. So Bailey came around to where he was sitting and Dylan just laughed and laughed. Since Dylan wasn't tossing any treats there way the dogs were only interested in him for a minute before they laid back down. The moment the dogs were out of Dylan's view he started to fuss and cry. Brewer seems to be sensitive to his cries and always checks on him which immediately made Dylan laugh again. This back and forth of laughing and crying went on for sometime. It was hilarious to watch and made me realize how much Dylan loves his best friends.
