Doing good

This was at that Uptown Village that we went to

Dylan screaming at the nice restaurant. :) Too bad he doesn't like pacifers.

Oops, blurry sorry.

Me and D.

Well, Dylan is now 15 weeks and he couldn't be any cuter!! He's doing great and growing like a weed. I weighed him and he's about 15.4 lbs now and we estimated how tall he is and it was about 23". He's so tall when he stands up straight now. Plus, he's doing this screaming thing now. We have no idea where he got it from (probably from Mike yelling at the dogs to lay down in his fancy truck!). :) I'm sure Dylan is screaming "lay down Gunner!" hehe. Anyways, I am going to try and post the video because it's just too cute not to share. Ummm let's see what have we been up to.

Last weekend Mike's sister Andrea came and stayed with us because she was taking a flying test. She is getting her pilot's license. I'm so envious. I wish I loved flying that much!! She has already flown by herself too, so cool!! It was great to see her so much and she got to spend some time with D too. He was a bit fussy, but he's just in that phast right now. Friday night we all went to dinner and Dylan did ok until the end, then he was over sitting in his car seat, he was ready to get out! So we had to wrap it up quick. Now, if we go to dinner with anyone, it's like ok you need to know what you want and we need to order it right away and then get the check so we can check out anytime we need to! hehe. yeah, dinner is a bit different these days. So then after dinner Andrea said "you guys go and do something, since I'm here I can babysit." I think before she got out the words "since I'm here to babysit" we were already gone. hehe. No, it's not that bad, but we were excited to get to go out and have a drink together. So we did his routine of going to bed (bath, book and bottle) and put him down for her so all she would really have to do is listen if he wakes up. So then we headed out to this new place sortof near the house. I had a few glasses of wine and Mike had a few beers and then we headed home. had great conversations and lots of fun together. Of course we texted her about 3 times to make sure everything was ok. He slept the whole time luckily. So it was nice. We enjoyed it. Then Saturday we woke up really early and got breakfast then headed to the car show we go to every year in fort worth. This was Dylan's first car show, we were excited about it, even though he would have NO recollection of it. He did great too. He cried a few times but only because he was hungry. So I would feed him a bottle and then he was good to go. Then we headed over to Mike's friends house to watch the Tech game and see their new mansion. Huge house. Holy cow. My house is their kitchen alone I think. So that was fun and then that was about it.

Mike had to go out of town all last week pretty much. It is so hard when he is gone for so long. I really do feel for single parents. It wasn't anything I couldn't handle, but it was a heck of a lot harder than with him here. I had a few moments where I had to let him cry for a second and just walk outside and breathe. He is hitting a growth spurt or something and teething so he cried a lot last week! Plus, I didn't realize this before but he hates milk that has been frozen. I tried twice and he cried the whole time. I tried switching the nipple on the bottle, switched bottles, warmed it more, etc and he hated the whole thing. I finally tried some fresh milk and he drank it so dang fast. So I guess no more freezing. I was almost done with breast feeding. I hadn't been pumping and my milk was slowly going away. I felt bad but I was just so tired of it. But Mike talked me back into it so I spent all last weekend pumping and getting it back up. I mean it only makes sense for me to do it atleast until I find a job, which who in the heck knows when that will be. I might be breastfeeding when he's 4 at the rate my job search is going! haha. jk. eww. So anyways, Mike was gone all week and last weekend we had planned a night out with friends for each of us to just have fun. So we planned it before we found out about him going out of town, so he got back on Friday and had a guys night friday night. That was hard, but it was ok, we had already planned it I guess and plus D went down really easy, so I sat home watching a movie by myself and reading stupid girly mags. Saturday was supposed to be my girls night. I was pretty excited about it, but kristie, who I was supposed to do something with, ended up sick, so no girls night for me. So Mike felt bad and took me out on a girls night to this area called Uptown Village, it's in Cedar Hill. It was really nice. They have a band there every other saturday of the month and lots of shops and restaurants. We had a good time. There was this restaurant that was decent. We walked in and I asked if it was too nice of a place for a baby. They said no of course not but as soon as we walked in, all I saw were candles, wine and romantic settings. I was thinking oh great, this is not going to be fun!! hehe. So we sat down, I ordered a glass of wine, Mike got tea and I ordered an appetizer. Right after that, Dylan decided to show the restaurant how well he does know how to scream!! hehe. He wanted to show off his new scream that he learned over the weekend. hehe. So we quickly packed it up, I finished the appetizer and wine by myself while Mike walked him around out side and then we picked up dinner on the way home. this would be a great time if we liked pacifers, but he doesn't! :( Boo! We tried, but it turned out to be a great night anyways. Mike was so sweet. He said we will watch whatever girly movie you want and eat whatever you want for dinner and I'll take care of D all night. It was supposed to be my night off from Dylan duty but I ended up staying home, but Mike still took care of him. He got up at his 2:30 and 4:30am feedings and everything. Then 7:00am came around and he said, "girls night is over, tag!" hehe. which was fine. It was driving me crazy being there while he is crying and stuff and not helping. (but I did enjoy just laying back and relaxing) I was disappointed at first but it ended up being a great night with my 2 boys.

Then today we woke up, Mike cooked breakfast and Dylan and I played all day. he is just so much fun right now. I have a blast just playing with him. I am loving every minute of motherhood!! mike is doing great in school and really studying hard. I'm so proud of him. I just can't wait until he graduates!! That is going to be the biggest party ever.

No luck on the job search, i'm applying for a lot today, but I'm not counting on anyone calling, I guess that's my attitude with it now, pesimist! hehe. I just feel lucky that I get to spend all this time with D. It's great. I will miss it when I get a job, so I'm trying to remember that.

Oh and Dylan is in his room now!! we moved everything in there today. he didn't go to sleep too well tonight, but it's a new room and new things to look at. He will get used to it. I just hope we can! I already miss him sleeping next to our bed. :( He's growing so fast. hehe.

ok, off to bed
