Dylan and friends...

Dylan with her Gran and E-pa! I love this picture so much...

 Oh and yes, Dylan and E-pa are supporting their FROGS!

 Are you serious right now...If you don't laugh at this face,there is something wrong with you :)

We found this hat at Zoe and Jack in Fort Worth. What is she doing with her mouth?

 My favorite legs to date! Dylan says "you can dress up any plain 'ol onesie with accessories!"

 We had to leave fort worth, but were so lucky because we got to stay into the week and just have some quality time with Gran and E-pa and SHOPPING! Gran drove back with us to Katy and it was a good thing she did because I spent the last hour and half in the back seat entertaining Dylan.

 Thanks Lyle,Merrill,and Brandon for the flower headbands! I look like I have a headlight on my forehead :) haha.

 Even though I don't have a cute look in this picture, thanks Sarah for the awesome shades! Mommy loves them and can't wait until I love them too :) Oh my gosh, I think Dylan looks so dang cute in these oversized glasses! LOVE

 Dylan is almost 4 months old and already wants to hold her bottle...Such a big girl!

 Yay! Harper and Lesli came over to play on Sunday and we had the best time! This was Harper and Dylan's first time to meet and they both did awesome! Harper is walking and Dylan loved watching her! I love this picture :)

 After a long days work...I need to relax! hahaha

I can't believe how fast my precious angel is growing! Dylan Avery will be 4 months old in a couple days and because this year is a leap year she doesn't have a month-birthday in February so we are saying she is 4 months on Tuesday when she goes to her 4 month doctor visit! This means more shots :( But I can't wait to see how much she has grown and find out if we can start rice cereal?!

Dylan is rolling over from back to tummy and on good days will get from tummy to back a couple times. She likes the paci sometimes and other times she will suck her thumb...yep, we are trying hard to confuse our child ;) She is sleeping pretty good,but lately she will wake us up at 4 or 5am for a feeding,but then will sleep until 8 or 9am and goes down at night around 8:30pm so I can't complain. The Zantac is working great and I can't believe how much better she acts during the day because she feels better now.

Everyday I reflect on this time in our lives and feel so blessed to have this angel. I know there are times when we get frustrated,but I wouldn't change ONE thing. I love you Dylan Avery Hall!!!

Next week we will have lots to write about because of our Dr. appt on Tuesday...wish us luck!

Lots of love,
Cari and Dylan

Dylan is a party animal!

Early this week we were so antsy to get packed up and ready to travel to Fort Worth/Dallas for lots of parties! Thursday Feb. 16,2012 we had our first road trip to DFW for a happy hour to meet all my Fort Worth friends then a sip and see to meet all of our friends from highschool in Dallas! Below are lots of pictures from the festivities...

Hugs,
Cari and Dylan



Oh what a week...

This week was pretty laid back. We got out a bunch,but I don't dare stop and take pictures because when Dylan is in a good mood I try to get done as much as I can with her with me!

I did find out that Dylan likes to go to the grocery store. I put her in the carseat in the big part of the buggy and she just looks all around, it's real cute! Here are some pictures of our week...

Dylan is getting better at sitting in her Bumbo seat.

Oh and she is now holding things and putting them to her mouth! I am so proud of her development.

 Cousin Jill sent her $10 for Valentine's Day

 Here is a sneak peek of her Valentine card we did...Let me just say, I love it and I'm pretty darn crafty! My first pintrest craft. If you want to borrow the L.O.V.E letters I have some!

Love how Dylan looks like a little doll in this picture of us enjoying the outdoors in the sun. Soon after this picture was taken,she pee'd on me ;) haha.

 Yep! She is officially a thumb sucker!

 Dylan and Cami LOVE watching Sparkabilities. I can't wait until we get our videos in the mail,but for now we just watch the long clips on the computer! If you haven't seen Sparkabilities, check it out! I love it

Dylan turns 3 months old & Marshall Sip and See!

Wow! Where do I start?! This week has been so much fun and busy. Dylan turned 3 months old on Jan.30th then we had a sip and see at Pep and Papa's house in Marshall so Dylan could meet family. Below are LOTS of pictures I caught of all the festivities...

Here is my sweet Dylan in her cupcake outfit.

 I just can't believe how fast she is growing...She can already hold toys and put them to her mouth!

This elephant rattle is actually Cami's, but they share :)

 Here she is all ready to go hunting...

 OMGosh, I just love this picture. We were going on a walk and it was bright outside so I tried the sun hat and she looks absolutely adorable in it!!!

 The next two photos are of Dylan in an outfit I bought from Bercot Art and Soul online. It's like a modern day Laura Ashley (mother/daughter matching). It's a little big,but will be perfect for spring!

 Everyday she amazes me with her tricks! Here she is lifting up so high during tummy time!

 Dylan Avery is 3 months old

 The next three pictures are of Dylan and her cousin Warren! Warren is Ryan's sister,Stephanie's sweet baby boy. Warren is 8 months old. I think they like each other...

 Oh and here is Dylan all dressed up and ready for her sip and see. The hat didn't last long,but boy was it cute while it did!

 Dylan and cousin Shannon

 Shannon,Stephanie,Cari(mom) and Dylan

 Dylan and Lexi

 Dylan's very first tea set!

 We made it home just in time for the Super Bowl! This is Dylan's first super bowl party!

She loved watching Madonna during the halftime show!

 She isn't so sure about the Bumbo ;)

Thursday of this week we found out that Dylan is suffering from acid reflux,poor baby! She was crying non-stop all day long and I finally couldn't take it anymore and called the doctor. They took one look at her and questioned me and knew what was going on. She is a couple days into her medicine and already feeling tons better and eating so much more now that she isn't in pain. Thank goodness for great doctors in Katy,Tx.!

I am totally in love with this precious angel and will wake up tomorrow to the adorable sleepy smile and we will start the week all over again.

See you for another update next Sunday.

Love,

Cari and Dylan
