6 months

Dylan is just full of surprises.  

Writing those words reminded me that my pregnancy with Dyl was full of surprises as well.  His labor?  Surprising.  I wonder how he will continue to surprise us as he gets older.

For his half-birthday he decided to surprise us by pulling up to standing.  

Mercy.  

Dylan is a mover, that's for sure.  It's getting in the way of sleeping.  But what isn't interrupting our sleep these days?...

Dylan doesn't love eating food.  I've tried introducing just a few things here and there, and he's not having it.  Meh.  Whatever.  No rush!

We are doing baby-led weaning (i.e. no purees, no cereals, just soft chunks of food that baby feeds himself).  He likes playing with the food... just not having it in his mouth.

He nurses on demand- approximately every 3 hours.

He takes 3 naps a day.  He's an awesome napper!

Just not an awesome nighttime sleeper.  I'm not surprised, really.  I did this same song and dance with Owen.

The only thing complicating matters is that his crib is in Owen's room... so Dylan is still co-sleeping (not bedsharing, though.  He is too squirmy to be in bed with me!)

Dylan is a hearty laugher.  We still call him our Gus Gus (a la Cinderella).  He is absolutely in love with Owen and Sophie.  He cannot get enough of either of them!  He also loves to crawl over to shoes, the vacuum, and the bathroom.  Ornery.

Those eyes are most definitely a dark shade of green.  They are beautiful.

Dylan is spunky, energetic, and a sweet snuggly little (big?) guy.

We love Peanut.  Happy half birthday, bugaloo!
