Doing good

One of the cute outfits that Rachel got him. (Mike was trying to get him to smile so he was kissing his belly, so that's my slobber, not his own! haha)

Well things are going great with D man and the rest of the family. Dylan is just getting so big and learning so much! He has realized that his hands can grab things he wants and also he has started noticing his feet. He is doing great with playing by himself on his play mat, so I can actually have a few hours during the day some time to get some stuff done. Not all at once of course, but overrall. We think he is like 13 lbs or more by now. He's getting so big. He is outgrowing so much, I already had to pack a lot of clothes he can't wear anymore. It's kinda sad. :) We have SO much fun with him. Him and I play all day long and have the best time. He has started to get on somewhat of a schedule. He isn't much of a napper but if I"m laying with him, he will nap alittle bit. I hope that doesn't mess him up when he starts daycare. They are going to have their hands full if he never naps! :) But he will nap with me laying next to him a few times a day, which I Love to do. I just stare and kiss him the whole time, and will nap with him sometimes. I still just can't believe he's mine sometimes. He's just the sweetest thing, we are so in love with him. MIke has been really busy with school and work lately so he doesn't get a whole lot of time with him during the week. He feels like he doesn't get enough time with him. I can understand him feeling that way too. He comes home about 7, we eat dinner and then I put Dylan down about 8:30. So he only gets maybe a few hours with him each night. Plus a lot of times he has school work to do, so really only a few nights a week he gets those couple of hours. I feel bad for him and can't imagine missing him that much. I just want to cry everytime I think about having to leave him. I know that I need to find a job, but part of me is happy I haven't yet so I can still spend all day with him. I'm alittle worried that he is getting dependent on me though and has to be held by me and stuff. I mean of course it melts my heart when only I can make him stop crying, but I can't be with him 24/7 forever!

He is 13 weeks now and growing every day!! Grandma Becky and Aunt Rachel bought him THE CUTEST little outfits! Becky bought him like 4 or 5 outfits and then we got a package from Rachel the other day with another 4 or 5. I couldn't believe it. I already washed them all and we are so in love with these clothes. They did a great job picking them out. I"ll try and post some pics of them soon because they are just too cute not to share. Thanks again Becky and Rachel. I was just thinking I was going to have to get him so new clothes soon because he's outgrowing some and for when it gets colder. We went to Target and picked out a few the other day. I held up 2 and said which one and he grabbed one. hehe. so I bought it. I think he's just right handed though and does better with that hand with grabbing stuff. :) But I thought it was cute.

He is definitely more alert these days. He doesn't let us go out to eat as often as we used to when he was smaller. He cries alittle more in his car seat and doesn't sleep as much. But oh well, we have a good time picking up dinner and being at home anyways.

I have one good job lead but we aren't sure it's going to go through yet. My friend Delana set it up and has been the middle person between me and the ladies I interviewed with. I met with them a few weeks ago and they were really nice. I think the job would be a great opportunity for me, but it's 44 miles away!! I guess I didn't realize it was that far until Mike pointed it out to me. So I am really nervous about that drive, but I don't want to be picky and pass up a good opportunity. We even though about moving north because we both work north, so it makes sense. I guess it all just depends on if this job goes through. I have applied for like 10 more jobs in the past week and got one call back, but I don't think that one will go through either. It's a bit discouraging, but i"m hangin in there. Trying to stay positive and just enjoying everyday with D man.

well, that's all for now. Not a whole lot of exciting things going on. I'll try and keep up with this.
