With becoming 12 months comes...
WALKING!!!!
On vacation, in Portland, someone decided that they were going to learn how to walk. It was first 3 steps with arms over head ready to attach Daddy. We were so excited that she decided to take her first real steps with us. She crawled over to the little seat, stood up, turned around and started to walk.
Fast forward to this past weekend/week, she is walking long distance. Sometimes she just stands up from the floor but most of the time, she needs help with a person or object. She walked almost the entire store at Kinkos today. She loves to walk to where ever the cat happens to be laying. She loves to chase the cat.
My little baby is officially a toddler now.

The Last Few Weeks
In the last few weeks, we have had Dylan's party, a trip to Brookfield Zoo for father's day, gone to Seattle, drove to Portland, returned home and finally went back to work. So my mission now is to write a post about all those things. Geez, I am overwhelm by it.
a tease!

ONE
What can I say? I have tried to think of something witty or something truly sappy. I am at a lost for words.
You are one. In many ways, I wish this day was not coming because I did not want my sweet little baby to grow up. In other ways, I am happy it is here and you are so healthy. What would my life been without my little peanut? How would your dad and I survive almost 2 years of marriage? You are something that we never knew we wanted but always wished for in our future.
You are slowly learning how to walk. You stood independently for a full 30 seconds yesterday, of course while mommy was not in a good position to look. You will be walking by 15 months. I do not doubt that for a minute.
Your check up today said that you are 18 lbs, 12 oz (15%) for weight, 28 3/4 in (45%) for height and head was 17 3/8 in. So we learned that you are still a little peanut. It made me feel better that I have brought a small supply of fall/winter clothes in the next size. I was worried that you might out grow it but nope, not the Dylan.
Sometimes, I cannot believe that I get to be your mom. Your dad is your dad. We are your parents and that is one amazing gift.

June 17, 2009
I woke up feeling extremely crappy, almost fluish in a way. I was just off and so not myself. I had a extremely bad night of sleep with the baby kicking every freaking time with BH. I was getting up to pee every 5 freaking seconds. I went on with my day and got some father day presents for Nick and my father in law. Not my dad. I took a huge long 3 hour nap and still felt like crap. It was not a good day. I skipped my prenatal water class because I had the gut feeling that I just might be in labor, yet did not know it. I went out to the pool for a swim anyway. The only time I was going to get to have time to myself in that pool. I called Nick to tell him that i might be in the early stages of labor and he should be getting home soon. Luckily for me, he was turning the corner to our complex as we spoke. We went out for dinner because that was all I could handle and the grocery shopping can be done tomorrow Thursday night. Boy, that was a mistake. On the Border was the dinner choice. We went to BRU afterwards to get sun shades for the car for the baby and look for a gift for my dad.
After we got home, I really don't remember what we did that night. It must have been all that nervous excitement.

I got to sleep in!!! Until 7:00am!! We got up and ready for the day. Our first stop was to hit the MASSIVE sale at The Red Ballon Co. I got tons of really cute 12-18 month clothes and a few 18-24 and one 2T shirt. I love the Tea Collection. She finally took a nap in the car at 11:00am. That little stinker. Naps are optional sometimes. We hit up our last 6-12 month Wiggleworms class, which was a joy. I am going to write that post as soon as I download the pictures into my computer. We got the birthday song and the beatles birthday song.
Daddy took a half day!! Had some lunch then headed to Oak Park for an appointment (my midwife). Took the non napping peanut home. Had some dinner then went swimming.
I did not take any picture today. I just wanted to live in the moment.
I had truly enjoy Dylan's last day of "babyhood". Officially, she becomes a toddler tomorrow. In my book, she will always be a baby. But I will start calling her a toddler once she starts to toddle.
I am truly amazed how much has happen in one year. How it goes from impending parenthood to full on all system go all the time. I think our impulsive decision to have a baby truly worked out for the best. I love my husband even more a year later because I have seen how amazing of a father he has become. In part, I give great credit to his mother for raising a wonderful young boy to an impressive man. He has step it up so much and even more so the last few weeks. I know father's day is not until Sunday but I want to express how much I am impressed by him everyday.
This post is about us and our journey because tomorrow it will be back to being all about Dylan.
We are in the final countdown hours to the big day. I almost do not want to go to bed because I do not want her to turn one tomorrow.

one small step for mankind, one GIANT step for baby
Not to tease you, she did not walk on her own toady but she made one GIANT step in that direction. She has been a pulling up fool as of late. This morning and this evening, she learned that she can pull her up in the crib. Good thing we lower that months ago. She was a screaming fool. She could not sit down. She was so very much mad. It was a oh poor baby moment. She will be heading for walking before 1st birthday or very shortly afterwards.
That is all I am going to say for right now. I am very tired from going to bed at 1:30am last night and working at 8:30am. But I will get you a warning. In the next few days, I will start discussing birthday stuff. My big birthday post is going to be all the wonderful handmade stuff that Dylan and myself will enjoy from Etsy.com. Some shops have long wait times for their items. Also, there is a cloth diaper shop that I am obsessing about that has friday stocking and they are super popular. It might take you a few weeks to get some diapers. Yes, I would be a mom that would be asking for diapers for her daughter's first birthday.
Goodnight or Goodmorning, depending on when you are reading this.

Happy 8 Months!!
Dylan,
You are 8 months old today. How did the time fly by so quickly? You went from this tiny little human being who loved to be held and nurse to this moving and grooving infant.
You amazes me everyday by the things that you do. Like right now, you got your 2nd tooth on Tuesday and you spent about 45 minutes on your tummy with NO COMPLAINTS. In fact, you rolled from your back on to your tummy. Actually, you have been rolling from your back to your tummy all day long. We put you on your back for bed tonight and rolled onto your tummy right away then on to your back again then when I went to check on you because you were screaming your head off, you were on your tummy again. You are a mover and shaker. I can't wait to see you move on in this wonderful journey called life. Maybe, mommy and daddy will be kind enough to give you a sibling but for right now, no thank you.
Pretty soon, you are going to leave this nest and you will be on amazing human being. But good thing that is not for a while or hopefully, a long while. Sorry, I just watched the Gilmore Girls Series finale. I love you with all my heart, baby girl. Hopefully, next month will come with new surprises and adventures. Here is to another great month.
I love you.
