Miracles do happen!

I'm proud to report that Dylan Simone Rhodes has a tooth poking through her bottom gums. Now, to most of you, this seems completely normal and nothing to boast about. In case you forgot, Dylan is 14 months old and toothless (until yesterday!). Jason felt it first with his hand and even though she wouldn't really let us see it (we tried repeatedly to get her to do her "fake yawn" so we could peek), we did catch a glimpse of the smallest bit coming through. SO EXCITING! All my worries of Dylan being in the Guiness Book for youngest human with dentures are now a fleeting memory. Can we get a round of applause around here? Yay Dylan!

Memorial Day weekend

Dylan makes her big debut in the new pink Cubs outfit.

Daddy and Dylan enjoy some outdoor fun at the Memorial Day BBQ.

Rachel Smith sent me some photos from Memorial Day weekend. Dylan went to her second Cubs game on Memorial Day and she was all decked out in cubby PINK! She was a trooper even though it was really hot. Luckily we had 7 people there together to pass her back and forth down the aisle when she got bored with one of us. Lately Dylan seems to tire of things rather quickly, minus 2 notable exceptions: swings and crayons. Dylan and I have been to park a twice in the last couple of days, and I apparently need to go more often. She enjoys swinging more than just about anything. She literally screams out into tears when you take her out of the swing. And when you ask her, do you want to get out? She shakes her head violently back and forth - NO NO NO!!! It's hysterical. She seems so melancholy in there sometimes, she doesn't seem to be having fun after awhile, but I guess it's just her Zen moment, and how dare I interrupt that...

new fun with blogging

So I love reading my friends' blogs, especially the ones about their adorable children, and I really need to get with the program and start one for Dylan. I'm not doing a good job of journaling for her like I intended, so this is my attempt to share some thoughts and let ya'll in on some of our fun. Hope you enjoy as much as I know I will. I'll try to be good about pictures, too, because I have seriously failed recently on that. If you have a blog I don't know about, send it my way! My new obsession is waiting...
