JUNE

June has been an exciting month for us. We had our first real night out. My mom watched Dylan while we went to the wedding of our good friends Amy & Eric. We had a GREAT time & everything was beautiful. We didn't get home till late, so not only did my mom stay the night,  she also got up with Dylan bright & early the next day! She is AWESOME!!


Dylan has now sleeps in his crib in his own room..FINALLY!! He was sleeping in a co sleeper ( like a bassinet) next to our bed. He definitely was outgrowing it but it was hard for me to move him out of my sight. It was was a smooth transition for him but not so easy for me. I didn't want to move him to his own room till he was sleeping thru the night. After sleeping all night for about a week or two I knew it was time. He continues to do well & usually sleeps about 10 hours a night.

Ryan celebrated his first Fathers Day. We started the day by having lunch with my dad & sister. We then came home & had a very LAZY day. The three of us watched movies till it was time to eat dinner with Ryan's Dad, Aunt & Grandpa. It was a nice relaxing day & exactly how Ryan wanted to spend it.


Ryan & I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on June 27th. My mom watched Dylan the day before so we could take the boat out to the river. It was my first time out on the boat this summer. Now that we have Dylan we don't have many chances to go out on the water like we used to. It was a great way to spend the day. Next year once Dylan is bigger he will be able to go out on the boat with us. Boating is one of our favorite things to do so I know Dylan will grow up a boating baby :)
On the day of our anniversary Ryan took the day off  work so we could spend the entire day together. His mom came over later that day so Ryan & I could have a date. This was the first time we have been out just the 2 of us since before Dylan was born!. We went to a movie & out to dinner, it was very nice. I cant believe that it has already been 2 years since we got married. It has been an incredible 2 years & I cant wait to see how amazing the rest of our lives will be.


I cant believe it was just 1 year ago that I found out I was pregnant! I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was so happy & full of emotion.Our lives have definitely changed since that moment but I wouldnt trade it for the world. 

 Dylan is now 5 months old! He just started eating baby food. He tried sweet potatoes first & loved them. We got it all on video expecting to see some really funny faces ..but we got just the opposite. He acted as if he had been eating them all his life. The next week we tried green beans. We had a little more of a reaction this time but he still really enjoyed them. I have a feeling he is going to be a good eater & like everything.

Dylan is laughing a lot & is so full of personality. He is doing so well & it seems like not much longer & he will be sitting up by himself.  I am so glad that I can be home with him the majority of the time. We spend most of our days playing. I don't seem to get as much done around the house as I used to since he is awake more during the day. I try to get as much laundry, cleaning, etc  done while he naps. When he is awake I want to make sure he has my full attention, so if that means everything isn't perfect ..so be it! I am still very much a clean freak but have learned to relax a little :) Its so fun to see the changes in him daily.  I am so blessed to have such a good & healthy baby
