Here are some highlights from the past month:
Dylan began standing on his own, at first hesitantly and now with confidence. No first steps yet, but you can almost see the wheels turning in his head.
He enjoys ripping paper (and eating it).
Dylan is learning how to share. He always offers a bite of whatever he is eating, and is known to occasionally stuff his pacifier in an unsuspecting person's mouth.
My usually easy-going boy has been showing his frustration with grunts, screams and clenched fists. In an attempt to alleviate some of his frustration with communication, Layla and I have been using a lot of sign language around Dylan. He recently began signing "all done" and waves hello and goodbye.
Dylan says "da-da", "up", and "hi" frequently. He also says "na-na" (night night) when he's tired. The verdict is still out as to whether he truly says "pop" (Poppy) or" eat."
His favorite song is "We Will Rock You" by Queen (his big sister prefers the Spongebob cover).
Dylan joined his sister as participants in a nap strike, which thankfully, has ended.
He continues to be a voracious eater and has taken a liking to gnawing on his crib, as evidenced by the scrape marks on the side rail and paint flakes on his chin.
My favorite new skill this month is the big open mouth kisses that Dylan gives on request!

Dylan had a fun play date with some other CHS alum babies, Ryleigh, Emily and Maddie, at the Orange Avenue Pool.
He had his first zoo trip at Turtleback Zoo on a cool Wednesday evening.
An impromptu day trip to Sesame Place proved to be an exciting adventure. Dylan especially enjoyed the carousel and lazy river ride.
