The Fair

I love the fair!!!!! Dusty, Dillan, and I went to the OC Fair last night and had so much fun. We rarely ever go, but we got the itch, so we went for it. Dillan was awesome (of course) and we just walked around, saw the barn animals, ate lots of food, and even played some games. Last time we went I won a huge stuffed animal for making a basketball shot when Dusty missed, so naturally we had to give that a try again....we both missed:( But Dusty did win Dilly a stuffed animal at the dart game:) I LOVE going places and doing fun things with my two favorite boys! Check out the pics!

Now that is a hot dog!!!!!....(and a pretzel:)

Dillan will be 7 weeks old on Thursday! I can hardly believe how fast this is all going! At his 1 month check up he weighed 12. 2 lbs (75 percentile) and was 23 3/4 inches long (95 percentile!). Our Dr. couldn't believe how strong he was considering he is pretty much already holding up his head! He has started smiling all the time which is just the BEST!!!!!!!!! His first smile at me was on July 6th. Here is a little video capturing the magic:) Enjoy.....

1 month old!

Our little babe is already 1 month old! I just cannot believe it. It seems like yesterday I was pushing out that 10 pounder!! People tell you "Take in every second because it goes by so fast" and I can't believe how true that is. Reflecting on what has taken place the last month, here are a few of my favorite things: 

*when Dillan wakes up in the morning and we bring him into bed with us and he is so awake and aware and we just watch him and fall more and more in love

*giving Dillan his bath and then putting his lotion on and him smelling soooo good

*when I get to just stare and inspect every inch of him when he is feeding

*taking Dillan for a walk when Dusty gets home from work and getting to download and connect with my husband and filling him in on everything Dillan did that day

*when Dillan is waking up and he does his famous "turtle stretch"

*taking Dillan swimming

*and the best thing yet.....HE SMILED AT ME THIS MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has become his signature pose....fist to the chin:)

4th of July!!!!

We celebrated Dillan's first 4th of July at the beach in Del Mar! You never know with a new baby how the beach is going to go, so we had the Kortman's house as a backup in case he didn't do well. Are any of us surprised that he didn't need the backup plan:) He absolutely loved the beach and we had such a blast with family and friends. Dilly took a 5 hour nap at the beach....I think he loved the sound of the ocean. We headed back to the Kortman's to have a fun bbq and then to watch fireworks from the balcony. What a fun day celebrating with our American Baby!
