Lagoon
We finally celebrated Forrest's birthday...he decided he wanted to do it at Lagoon!! We went on Saturday and had so much fun. I love going on the rides and had to sit out last year (due to being 9 months pregnant!), so I was in heaven. We all got to do our favorites...Jon & Forrest - Wicked (several times)...Chandler - The Bat and Flying Aces...me - Samorai (sp?). I was even able to talk Forrest, my mom, and both of Jon's parents into doing Samorai with me...SO MUCH FUN!! Dylan was so good, she just chilled in her stroller for most of the day. We did try to take her on the Merry Go-Round toward the end, she didn't like that much! She was fine until it actually started to go...then she wanted off :)
Doesn't Dylan look so big in this picture?

Walking...
(This post was supposed to have gone out on the 18th...so, it's a little late!! And, I do have video, but am having problems downloading it (keeps saying that the file is corrupt, no matter how many times I re-download it))
So, Dylan is officially walking. Over the weekend, she just decided that she would rather walk than crawl most places. It is so much fun to watch her as she wobbles around!! She has been working on it for about a month now. At first, she would only walk to Jon and Chandler...but now, she goes pretty much everywhere on foot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FORREST
So Forrest turns 14 today...what!?! Time flies...just yesterday, it seems, he was a little 6 year old boy, in his tux, at our wedding!! I really can't imagine my life without him...he is one of the best kids I know. He is a terrific son, brother, grandson, you name it!! He reminded me today that he only has 2 years til he can drive...aaahhh.
Hope you have a great day...we are so proud of you and we love ya!!

Dylan's ONE year Dr appointment
Just thought I would update everyone on Dylan's one year Dr appointment. She weighs 18 lbs 12 oz and is 28 inches tall...just a little thing still. I was asking the Dr about moving her to a front facing car seat...he estimates that she will be 15 months at the earliest...so sad!! Developmentally, she is doing well and she seems to be healthy...yeah!! Still not walking...although, over the weekend, she did take 6 steps on her own. She loves to just stand and balance, then dance. She gets a kick out of herself when she dances while just standing there. She has to look around to make sure everybody is watching, then just starts laughing...it's pretty cute!!

Dylan is ONE!!!
Wow...where did time go? Dylan turned one yesterday!!! It seems like last week that I was in the hospital staring at her and wondering how I was going to take care of that tiny little thing. With a little (or lot) of help from all my wonderful family and friends...we made it to one year!!!
She has been such an amazing baby and we can't wait to experience "toddler" years with her.
We had her birthday party on Saturday at a little park here in our neighborhood and invited a few close friends and family...very quaint. There was a little mishap with the sprinklers at the very beginning, but once we found the shut off valve, we were good. Dylan did great...once she got a feel for the cake, she went in no handed. It was so cute!! Thank you to everyone that came!!! I have to give a huge thank you to Forrest for being the photographer...he did such a great job!!!
A little update on her development...she is chatting up a storm. Some of her favorite words are...doggie, kitty, hi, mama, dada, out (outside), baby. She is not walking on her own yet, although I think it could be any day now...We're not in any huge hurry:) She just started waving and now (as of Saturday) starts clapping when you say "yay" to her.
Grandma Meadows with the Birthday Girl
Proud big brother, Chandler...and you wonder where she gets her looks!!! Dylan is a miniature of him!
My cousin, Ashley's, little girl, Brea. She is only two months older than Dylan, such a beautiful little girl!! She and Mia were helping Dylan open her presents.
Ashley and Brea...Brea found a puddle and was just splashing around
My dad and Jon, trying to figure out the sprinkler thing!!
Opening presents!!! She got such fun things...thanks everyone!!
Dylan's own personal cake...just the round one in the middle!! We would be in big trouble if she were to eat all of that!!
Awww...finally, the cake. Here she is testing the waters a little
Grammy T giving Dylan a little pep talk and kiss!!
Here is Jon trying to help her "find her way"!!
At this point she gave up on the hands and just dove in...like mother, like daughter!!
MMM...
Trying to share with dad...so cute!!
