Happy birthday to me!

For my birthday, Mike and Dylan went out and got me donuts from Demet's down the street from us in Medford. Dylan had 3 donuts. 3! Raised sugar, old fashioned, and boston cream (he eats anything with chocolate from the top down. It's very odd to witness.)
We went to Red Bones for my birthday lunch. Dee Dee slept the whole time, and I love her for that. You can see the plate of ribs on the right side of the picture.
Dylan did pretty well. He ate some chicken fingers and fries and tried an arnold palmer (half lemonade, half iced tea - they make kids cups by filling a take out container and poking a hole in the top for the straw (in the forefront) - ingenious!) But here and in the following photos he's just eating ketchup.
I call this the "in the ketchup zone" stare.
It was the best birthday ever, mostly because I got to spend it with my family.

Totally adorable

Dylan is funny

He loves doing this. Weirdo.
He also likes doing this and running around the house. Double weirdo.
And he's been doing this, too. I'm jealous.

Are you ready for your close up, Cordelia June?

It's so exhausting being so adorable.

Dylan's new phrase

Dylan has learned a new phrase: "No, Dee Dee." It means: "No [that belongs to] Dee Dee." Example number 1: her Moses Basket. It's way too small for Dylan, but just the right size for Dee Dee.

Proud Brother

We were a little bit worried about how Dylan would react to having a new sister on the outside of Mommy's belly, all breathing and crying and taking everyone's attention, but from the first moment we brought her home (actually, from the moment he met her at the birthing center) he has been great with her. He immediately wanted to hold her.

We could tell that he really liked her when he took his new Thomas the Train stickers and covered her with them. Usually, he covers himself with them, but when he put them on her we knew that she had been accepted into the family.

Kisses!
Delia, or "Dee Dee" as Dylan calls her, slept through the whole introduction.
