Dylan 4 Months Old

Happy 4 months of life Dylan. Today we shall celebrate by going to the beach March 1.

Feet

Just thought we'd say hi!!

Sick Day!!

So what does one do with yarn, ballons and clothes pins!?!?!?!
Sam and I came up with a great game.. I tied some yarn on to a clothes pin and strung it from the drapes... as seen in the first 2 pictures..


You see that Sam is really excited right?!

The idea was to find and match the ballon and cloths pins and hang them together on the string.. I seperated them and spread them out all over the floor..

This lasted for a little while..I thought it was a great idea for matching and counting.. I'll use this again for something else I'm sure.

Dylan 2 months

I love my boys they are amazingly awesome..
Dylan just turned 2 months on New Years Eve.. All about the holidays, right!

Oh and I feel accomplished today as I sent out birth announcements, finally!! I didn't even send them for Sam.. BAD MOMMY!!

Sam really does love his brother. He's usually hugging him all the time..  Caught a good hug picture.

Little tummy time...

 Another hug from Sam.. just cause he needed some LOVE!!

 He's already wearing 6 month old clothes, Sam was the exact opposite. Wearing 3 month old clothes til he was 6 months..

More tummy time.. 

 Sam was watching our 5 minutes of snow..

All about the BEANS!!!

Sam loves to pour water from one container to the other, so today I gave him beans.. (and some cereal  made it's way in there left over from breakfast.... This was an attempt to not have a huge watery mess..

I started with just having him pour things inside of the bigger container to TRY to contain the mess..

He had plastic and glass containers with all different shapes and sizes. 

This lasted for a while.. Inevitably, most of it ended up on the floor.. I was fixing dinner, so it was fun to have him "help".  He always wants to help..

Dylan Knowles 10-2011

I'm soo bad I have not really kept up with my blog and my plan on making this my New Years resolution, but please don't hold your breath.. Sorry for the late posting..

So finally announcing Dylan's birth here is a start!!! 6 weeks old today, better late than never..

Dylan Knowles, born 10/2011- 8:30 am, weighing 8lbs 4 ounces.. via c-sections. We were allowed to have the camera which was awesome.. And all I remember is not seeing a lot of Phil.. I was okay they had me loaded on painkillers and DEMEROL.. It made me so itchy I couldn't stop itching my nose.

My doctors were awesome.. they even removed the previous scar tissue from Sam's cut that I got a little tummy tuck!!

Dylan had a bit of jaundice and had to stay on a billie bed/blanket thing for a day. I called it the baby tanning bed!! It looked scarier than it was.. Glad it was my second child I would have been freaked if it were my first..

After 5 days in the hospital Dylan and I were on our way home. I actually enjoyed the rest and relaxation of the hospital and the service there was great..

My little pumpkin is very happy and healthy. And all smiles.

Halloween 2011- Little Lion Man & Cowboy

Sam is my little Lion Man for Halloween this year.. Oh yea and a Cowboy..

We have 5.5 days before baby #2 is here.. I'm not posting name as that is still 8)5 up in the air.. Dylan Kyle is the front runner at this time.. And we want to see him before we assign hin that name for the rest of his life.. We all know how the name William ended up.. WORE out..

 This is Cowboy Sam, the hat was a little big and he won't really leave it on his head.. He was so cute, in his wagon!!

 We went to Serenity Farms they had a petting zoo, hayride, pumpkin patch, hay maze and face painting.... See later that Sam got a Blue's Clue's paw print on his cheek. Sam loves Blue's Clue's.

 Sam enjoyed the bumpy hay ride.. We got there in the late afternoon on the first day, so we were pretty much the only ones there.

 This is one of the many goats that they had in the petting zoo... Altough it doesn't look like he is at all happy.

 Sam running in the field toward the pumpkins.. Notice paw print on cheek..

Phil and Sam on Hay ride.

 Oct 22, 2011- Anne Marie Gardens had there annual " Halloween in the Garden". the lines were CRAZY.. We paid $1 per person and the weather was perfect, so I guess we can't complain too much..

I think Sam liked the colors and textures of the different squashes.. I really like this picture..

This is the line in front of us..

This is the line behind us... this is just outside.. the line continued..
