6 months old

6 months already??? It doesn't seem possible. Dylan continues to be such a good baby. He is such a joy to be around & I am loving to see his personality shine through more & more each day.


I recently started working in the office of Hometown Pizza. I decided to leave the hair business & am loving my new job. I am so happy to work 5 minutes from my house & to be home every night with Ryan & Dylan. Because of my new work schedule I had to enroll Dylan in Daycare. He only goes part time 2 days a week & spends 2 days with my mom. It was so hard for me to leave him those first couple times. Before daycare he had only been left alone with my mom, sister & mother in law. Of course I cried the first day but the staff was so nice and told me it was completely normal to be upset. I never cried again but it wasn't till the 3rd week that I didn't leave teary eyed! I am so happy that he has the opportunity to be around other babies but also glad its only 2 days a week. With my new job schedule Dylan & I get to spend Monday mornings/early afternoon & all day on Friday just the two of us. It seems like a great balance for the both of us


Dylan cut his first 2 teeth the beginning of July at 5 months old. we knew he was teething because of all the excessive drooling. He was a little fussy for about a day or two & then next thing we knew he had 2 bottom teeth. Most recently he is cutting 2 teeth on top & this time around it has been much more difficult. He has had a low fever, runny nose & very very fussy & of course more & more drool. I feel so bad that he feels so crummy. Tylenol has been helpful but for the most part he is miserable.


Dylan loves his Aunt B. She has officially moved back to Lexington & ready for the fall semester to start at UK. Whenever she is home she always makes time to visit with her favorite nephew. We recently discovered that Dylan like to hear her voice on the phone. He gets the biggest grin on his face if she is on the phone..it is too cute
