Dylan's 1st Birthday!

Mike and I both agree that this has been the longest yet shortest year of our lives. Dylan is such a good boy. He is so smart, loving and fun. Even though the start of his life was rough for Mommy and Daddy, he's an absolute pleasure to have around.

Planning Dylan's party was a thrill. He always starts clapping and dancing when he sees Mickey Mouse, so the theme was a no-brainer.

In this picture, Dylan is seeing his Mickey balloon for the first time.
It's funny how anything can become a weapon. Boys will be boys.

Everybody wants a turn on the piano.

Cake Time!!

He had never felt or tasted such a wonderful, squishy delight.

Dylan had his 12 month check-up this week. He weighs 21 lbs (35th percentile) and is 30 3/4 in (80th percentile). Tall and thin... sound familiar??

12 months

Here's my little 12 month old monkey. He is so much fun.

Poor Tucker. He is going to live with a new family that can give him the love and attention that he deserves. Dylan is going to miss him, but we have plenty of friends that we can visit who have dogs that don't mind kids wallowing on them.
