10 Months

I think I say every month is my favorite stage but 10 months was GREAT! Dylan is such a happy baby, hardly cries, is changing and learning everyday!  He reached a big milestone and started CRAWLING this month.  Favorite games and toys were throwing the ball with Otto and all of Otto's dog toys. 

He was great at mimicking everything you could do with your mouth.  Jessa, the nanny, taught him how to click with his tongue.  He babbles so much saying otto, dada, and mama.  He uses his hands to make noise with his mouth, maybe he will be a rapper??

It was a great month with lots of laughs, friends firsts birthday parties, and searching for a new home in Singapore.

First Baseball Game

We were able to make a quick Astros baseball game in while home.  It happened to be Dylan and Olivia's first date night out.  We met the Brown's at the game and the babies really enjoyed their first baseball game.

9 Months

Dirk met us in the USA and it always gets a bit busy when he comes into town.  Dylan was a trooper, he got baptized at FUMC Katy, spent some alone time with the grandparents, made it across Texas to visit Uvalde, Concan, and San Antonio.

Mimi had taught Dylan how to scoot on his bottom to get around, clap, and there were many noise making sounds being made.  Mainly blowing strawberries, motor boat noises, and lots and lots of babble.  Bath time was still a favorite but he became a expert at the jump a roo. 

Dylan got to meet all his extended family, including uncle Zach who flew in from Portland, OR.

Family Photos in USA

I have some really talented friends!  While we were home my friend Melissa took her new lens out for a photo shoot with us, she got some amazing pictures!  Thank you so much Mel, these were our first family photos.

8 Months

Your whole 8th month of life was spent in the USA meeting and getting to know the rest of your extended family.  You hit some pretty big mile stones while there and had to learn everything American in just 10 weeks.

You have so many sound effects with your mouth and love to babble while mommy sings to you.  You really enjoy music and still LOVE your Baby Einstein.  We have a routine in the mornings, mommy would wake up and come get you out of your crib, put you in her bed, turn on Einstein and you would drink your bottle.  Those were the best mornings... 

Your First Easter

Rocking out bath time!  You really enjoyed your baths :)

Hanging out in Austin for the first time with Daddy's highschool friends!

You are such a happy baby, always laughing, giggling, smiling, and engaging others.  You go to just about anyone and don't seem to attached to mommy just yet.  

Active, active, active...

We sure are active at 11 months, it seems like 10.5 months was the turning point.  We are having so much fun with this little guy... he surprises us everyday now.

We like to climb the stairs in our new house, although we get stuck half way up.

We opened a early 1st birthday present and love to go for rides :)

And again, climbing the stairs...
