Dylan's First Trip to the Beach!

Dylan and I went with Nana and Grandad to the beach today (Colin is still in Vegas). We drove down to Del Mar and had lunch at this little restaurant right on the beach and then we went down to the water. Dylan LOVED the sand! He not only loved playing with it and throwing it like any other toddler, for some reason he wanted to lay down on his belly in it. He wasn't into the water though. I think he just thought it was too cold because he wasn't scared of it, or upset by it. He would just watch it come toward him; get this funny, frustrated, annoyed look on his face; and get up and run away from it. I tried to get it on video but my camera wouldn't record enough video to wait for the wave. Dylan was also wandering around, stealing everyone else's tennis balls and various other toys, even though he had plenty of his own.

Here are some pictures:

Our 2nd Anniversary

Our second anniversary was last week and it was wonderful! We dropped Dylan off with Nana and Grandad. Colin and I went down to Del Mar and had dinner at Ruth's Chris. Needless to say, I won't be making steak for a while since I can't get that's butter like consistancy myself. :) Anyway, we had a wonderful time!

Dylan's First Haircut

Colin and I took Dylan to get his first haircut today. Yes, I saved a lock of his hair! He got to sit in the fire truck chair and watch Thomas the Train while the girl did he hair. Here are the before and after pictures.

Here are some pictures that were taken when we were housesitting for Colin's parents. Dylan had so much fun with all the dogs and chasing the cat. He also loved playing in all the water!

All we need is to photoshop a tennis ball in there and he's the next Skidmore PRO!

Playing in the kiddy pool was the best part of the trip for Dylan.

Dylan Has Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

On Friday, we took Dylan to Urgent Care in Escondido since he San Diego dr wasn't in the office. He was running a fever, had no appetite, wouldn't drink (very unusual!), wouldn't stop crying and refused to be put down. Oh, and he was having trouble breathing. The doctor at urgent care diagnosed him with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. In addition to these symptoms, he has sores in his throat. No wonder he didn't want to eat!

Here is some information on this viral infection. It is also called coxsackie virus.

Dr. Sears' website has some good information on it, plus some pictures. Dylan isn't as bad as the pictures. In fact, it hasn't spread to his hands or feet at all yet.

There is also good info on WebMD. There is also a page on home treatments and treatment from the doctor.

The doctor gave him Tylenol with Codine if it gets really bad but otherwise, there wasn't much they could do.

Pray he gets better soon! He's feeling a little better today!

Mama's New Skirt

Colin and I finally returned the camera I got for my birthday. (Just for reference, PLEASE don't buy the Flip Video Camcorder. It's junk.) I got a few recycled sari wrap skirts at the Farmer's Market instead. This afternoon, I was trying out all the different ways to wear it and Dylan started running back and forth through the skirt. I decided to let him play with it for a while and this is what happened:

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you; Dylan is laying down BY CHOICE! Wonder of wonders! He loved the feel of the silk on his skin. Looks like Mama's birthday present is fun for both of us!

Daddy and Dylan

This is a cute but horribly filmed video of Dylan's new game with Daddy. It gets Rosie all riled up too.


Sorry it's filmed sideways. If anyone knows how to turn it, please tell me so I can do so!



He's so cute when he pops out of the closet like that! And we are just obnoxious screaming like that. :)
