Dylan's first home visit

Dylan went on her first home visit yesterday and she did amazingly well. She pretty much just sat there while dad tried to deflect toddler poking fingers from her head. While on the visit and on the drive home afterwards I realized what a valuable asset Dylan is when it comes to home visiting. I was thinking about the years laid out before us and how great it will be to have Dylan to share with my families. Oh and Dylan now weighs in at 12+ pounds.

Uncle Patrick's Graduation

An extra note on last weekend....Dylan ripped some awesome farts during her Uncle's graduation including one during the speakers long winded oration. Also, it is very hard to pee holding a baby and even harder to zip up after. I would also like to note that green day's time of your life has played at every graduation since 1997. I would like to challenge the youth out there to come up with a new song to play during your graduation as it is getting old. Congrats though uncle Patrick on your graduation and more importantly being voted best dancer!

7 Weeks old

Hi everyone! As of last tuesday Dylan now weighs 10lbs 10 oz. She has been gaining about 1/2 lb per week. Dylan is now smiling and cooing all the time. She also is now a fan of her sling- now we just need to work on the Baby Biorn. We have been staying busy, with recent visits to Hood River and Glide. Dylan got to meet her great-grandparents and great-aunts and uncles in Hood River and watched Uncle Patrick's high school graduation in Glide. I have to return to work next week for 30 hours a week and I am not ready to leave my little girl. We feel very lucky to have my mom come and stay with us for the summer so that we have someone we trust watching and caring for Dylan.

One month old!

Well Dylan has been very busy recently. Last week we went to the baby clinic at the birthing center where we mingled with other new moms and babies. Dylan weighed 9 lbs as of last Tuesday! Then we went on our first trip as a family to Glide to visit my mom. Dylan wasn't too happy on the way down but slept all the way back. This weekend we are going to go to Hood River to visit Clint's parents and family. It is 3 hours, so wish us luck! Today Dylan had her first bottle fed to her by daddy! I was VERY excited that she took the bottle easily. Pumping went well and I am hoping to regain a little freedom:)

Dylan's first bath and more

Dylan's little belly thing fell off so she had her first bath yesterday. She didn't mind it much but got a little mad when we poured water on her head. We took her to the doctor for her 2 week visit and everything looks good. She is up to 8lbs 8oz now which puts her in the 50th percentile. She is in the 75th percentile for length so she is pretty much going to be awesome at basketball.
We also took her to the Nursery to show off to everyone and she stayed asleep even when being passed around. I am headed back to work tomorrow full time which is going to be tough, don't read too much into that snoopervisors I am looking forward to seeing the kids again.

Pee and Poop

Well, Clint and I have now both been peed and pooped on. I was burping Dylan when her diaper leaked pee and poop all over my chest, which was lovely. She has peed twice on Clint while he was changing her diaper. Probably because he isn't as super fast at diaper changes as I am. Overall, Dylan has still been doing great. She has been sleeping for a few 3 hours stretches at night, which me and my boobs appreciate. Her first doctor's appointment is next Tuesday and we are exicted to take her to meet our co workers.

Nurse visit

Dylan went to the nurse today to get weighed and she is climbing back to her birth weight. She still has a little jaundice but it is almost gone. We are planning on taking her outside a little today as it is so nice! Next step is the two week visit and then we can take her out on exhibit. Kelley's mom is gone for the weekend so it has just been the happy family for a day. I have to say it has been nice not having Colleen's prime time tv on each night, Nancy Grace, but it will be nice when she comes back next week.
