FIRE TRUCK FUN

Instead of a birthday party for Dylan this year, we sent a fire truck to his daycare for an afternoon of fun. Since Dylan loves fire trucks, I thought it would be the perfect treat – a fire truck him and his friends can get inside, dress up as firemen and put out pretend fires. What I didn’t anticipate, was that he wouldn’t like the noise of the truck. So while his friends really enjoyed it, Dylan did not. The men running the truck were great and tried getting Dylan to let loose. They even gave him a birthday present, a little fire truck set, which was his favorite part of the day.

RED, WHITE AND CUTE

I typically shy away from holiday clothing for my kids because I never know how soon is too soon to wear it and how long after the holiday it is still acceptable, so I usually stick to holiday pajamas. However, I love the red, white and blue clothes for Independence Day and long after. The bright, crisp colors look good all summer long. Here are some of the things I am loving for Fourth of July and beyond.

It will be a sad day when Alexis can no longer wear this red romper; it is one of my favorite things in her closet. The bow on the back is adorable.

Dylan woke up from a nap when we were taking these pictures and wanted to take some too. I love how much he loves his sister, I hope it never changes.

SUMMER PAJAMAS

I always think babies and toddlers look so cute in their pajamas. Which usually means we have some for the next season/size on hand. Recently my husband asked if we had summer pajamas for Alexis and I realized we did not. I also noticed Dylan’s were from last year and getting too small, so I started looking and there are some really cute summer pajamas out this year! I thought I would share some of my favorites.

THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

Saturday morning we took the kids to our local children’s museum and had so much fun! I had never been before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Dylan had so much fun at all of the exhibits. His favorite was the 3 story climbing ‘tree’. We probably spent an hour just at the tree. In addition to being fun to climb, it was such a cool structure – I loved the flying bathtub! They also had plenty to do for Alexis, each exhibit had a baby area for her to stay entertained. We had such a good time! I can’t wait to go back!

I couldn’t get a good picture of even most of the climbing tree, but here are a few cool parts:

This was his second favorite spot was the exhibit with a bunch of different cars and motorcycle. He loved the pencil because it had a spot for Alexis to ride with him.

15 MONTHS

Dylan 10 months – photo taken by EME Photography

I cannot believe how quickly time has gone. When I look at my calendar, Dylan is 15 months old, when I look at him, he is still my tiny baby – even though he’s more independent with each passing day. He needs a hair cut in a major way, but mama isn’t ready for him to look the part of a little boy, even though he is. Here are some things we love and want to remember about him now:
