What has Dylan and us all been up to. It has been a few weeks since I last posted. Halloween was fun, but again disappointing with no kids on the street. Dylan is recovering very well from his surgery. He shows very little sign that he has just had surgery. He does flinch a little at diaper changes and in the bath. He actually is telling mommy, no more baths.
Life has been pretty good for us all. Gabe has been in Calgary working since the surgery, so I get to see he in the mornings before work. Still very little time with him, but better than nothing.
What is even better, is that Dylan has now accepted to take naps in bed. There is very little struggle getting him down. So I have been able to take a couple of naps or get a few chores done, or simply veg out on the computer. Things should be looking up for me now with a little sleep. I may even get enough energy to exercise or do yoga. It has been too long without sleep and exercise. I am sooo very looking forward to it all. But I am vegging right now, hee hee. Very exciting.
What else, Gabe has been running around Calgary shopping for a snowsuit for Dylan (he is a good shopper). Dylan had a whole line up of suits to try on and they were all blue. It is going to be a fun winter as we have a tiny baby hill for tobogganing on the corner of our street where the gazebo is, or where all the pictures are of Dylan walking on grass with his truck. And presently we have about 8 inches of fresh white and fluffy stuff all around. I hear that Nakiska ski resort down the Kaninaskis HWY 40 has 50 cm already. Lake Louise Ski Hill has 50-60cm also. whooooh whoooo!
Dylan is walking outstandingly. He is even running at times. I was telling Gabe tonight that Dylan is going as fast as he can (with Gabe chasing after him). Dylan LOVES to be chased and to get scared - Dylan initiates it. Gabe bought Dylan some snow boots and we weren't sure how well he would do stomping around in the snow with big clunky boots on, but he is doing great. He even walked all around the supermarket today showing off his new boots with his new styling walk, and his very first hair cut. Yes that is right, I finally broke down and got his mullet cut off. ahhhhhh. He was close to perfect sitting on my lap, but he does have a few missing sections (meaning longer strands, not chucks missing). How much do you think his hair cut cost? Wow, I thought I found a cheap stylist, but even Gabe's barber was going to cost the same, so we now have hair scissors. Good luck mommy.
I forgot the camera so here are some quick cell phone shots.
This is my treat for sitting so good for my hair cut. I get to drive mommy's car. Yippeeeee!!
Dylan's new hair cut at the play centre and yes he is still playing with a school bus even though there is a room full of toys!
Playing outside in the first snow fall.

This is just really cute.

Potty time.
At the Playcentre.
Peek-a-boo.
What's in here.
Sitting like a big boy at snack time.
Drawing with mommy.
Frosty who??
ha ha this is funny, fun and cute. Dylan like to push things between his legs. Somethings are too tall and he still keeps on trying. He likes to push the tractor through his legs with the pig squealing as it goes under him.
Bad mommy, Dylan can use the remote now.
