Dylan's first presidential debate

Dylan, Kelley and I just wanted to point out that Obama was the only one to even mention early childhood education. Yeah I know using my 5 month old's blog to champion my profession is questionable but we feel it is important.
Dylan is a little under the weather presently but is still in good spirits. Kelley is back to work full time next week which should prove to be our biggest challenge yet as far as sleep goes. I am now on alert at night as well as Kelley and I are taking turns putting Dylan back to sleep. I apologize in advance to those I work with as I do not function well on little sleep and I have an aversion to that nasty and expensive habit, coffee.
It is crazy to think that Dylan will be eating food in less than a month but we were saying the same thing about her rolling over which seems so routine now. Enjoy the SNL Palin skits.

Update

Well we have had a busy last month! We went to Yachats for a week with friends. Dylan took her first trip to the aquarium and also tasted sand! Dylan loved playing with Mia, Jon and Jenny's 4 year old daughter. We also took a trip to Arcata to meet Dylan's other grandpa and Justin. It was a very short trip and we hope to make a longer trip in the next year.

Dylan now enjoys playing with toys, which mostly means that she will hold them and look at them and shake them. She is a lot more aware of her surroundings as well. She is growing rapidly and weighed 15 lbs at her 4 month check up! She was in the 77% for weight but only in the 33% for height! She likes to eat her toes at any given chance, mostly when you are trying to change her diaper. Dylan is still a wonderfully easy baby although she likes to eat all night long which mommy does not appreciate! We are planning to start her on solids at 6 months, which is next month!
