Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho off to the park we go...

My posts seem to be getting futher apart, and with this nice weather, that may continue to happen...but here's a little update...

Dyllan is speed walking everywhere. She even tries to run. And with this great weather she LOVES being outside. This weekend we spent a lot of time outdoors. On Friday, when it hit the 70s, we headed over to the local park so Dyllan could play on the playground. Enjoy some pics of our little trip...

"Hurry up mom and dad!!!" Dyllan has her jacket in hand and is closing the front door so we can head out!

On the Go!

It's been a while since my last post...largely because all the sicknesses that have been going around have hit our household as well. It started with a high fever and cold for Dyllan, and pretty much spread through the whole family. We are finally feeling better!

A LOT has happened. After lots of waiting, Dyllan finally started cutting her first two teeth (on the bottom). Equally, if not more, exciting...Dyllan is officially WALKING. She is really on the go and even though it's double the work now (I spend half my day chasing her), it's also such a joy to see her walking around like a big girl. She's growing up so fast...

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Well, Joe finally caught up with me and turned 29 last week. Even though I'm only one month older he makes a big deal for that whole month how I'm his old lady ;) Well, we're both now just one year from the big 3-0! Trying not to think about it too much, hahaha. Seriously though, the time is just flying lately. Since we've had Dyllan, everything seems to move so much faster. Maybe it's because the days are just so busy that they're flying by. Or maybe it's because she grows so much every day. Whatever the reason, there are days I wish things would just slow down a bit!

Anyways, Joe and I got to have a nice baby-free dinner for his birthday last week at the Epicurean in Phoenixville. Yum! And then this past weekend we got to celebrate with some of Joe's family. Heather and Craig brought Payton down and it was so much fun watching them play together. Even though Joe always says he's not that into birthdays, I think it was a nice one for him....


I got Joe a football ice cream cake (and not just because it was on sale for the Super Bowl...he was a football player!!)

Time really is flying by. Here is Joe on his birthday LAST YEAR...

Monkeying Around

Tonight we all headed out to Pottstown to check out Monkey Joe's. It's an inflatable play area. Dyllan has been cranky lately (teething- finally???!!) and we just needed to get out of the house for a while. She had a blast....

Hamming it Up

Dyllan got a kick out of wearing Daddy's hat. She's gotten really into giving this hysterical "cheeeeeese" face for the camera. We need to work on that smile ;) These photos just make me laugh. We love our little crack-up....


You can tell here that she loves showing off for the camera (or just showing off in general!)

A Trip Out of Town

This past weekend we took a road trip to the DC area to finally see Megan & Dan's new home. Megan is Lindsey's best friend/roommate from college :) Dyllan was a champ on the long car ride and during our stay. We really enjoyed visiting and seeing the Alexandria, VA area! Beautiful!!

Dyllan got a book telling the "Charlie Brown Christmas" story...mommy and Megan's favorite!

Dyllan loved all the attention she got from Auntie Megan and Uncle Dan...

Dyllan's First Birthday

Exactly one year ago on this day, at 6:59 pm, our precious baby girl entered the world. Our lives have never been the same :) Dyllan has brought us such happiness. It's feels like just yesterday that I woke Joe up to tell him my water broke and yet an entire year has flown by. If only we could slow things down a bit!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYLLAN!

We held Dyllan's birthday party at my parents' clubhouse this past Saturday...

The little ones gravitated to the kid-table and chairs we had set up for them...

The blue icing complements her eyes...
