HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYLAN!!!!

2009-09-21T11:26:00.001-07:00

We had a little gathering for Dylan's second birthday on the morning of September 6th.
Just a couple of hours at Mast park in Santee; pizzas, sodas, cake and candy =)

Santee Lakes Sprayground - 09/03

2009-09-21T11:19:00.001-07:00

The day before Dylan's birthday I took him to a playdate at the Santee Lakes Sprayground, not a lof of pictures of the kid, since he only wanted to run away from me and into the parking lot.

Elmo slippers!

2009-09-21T11:11:00.000-07:00

Uncle Matt and Tia Caro gave Dylan a pair of elmo slippers for the winter! Thanks guys =)

Playtown fun!

2009-09-21T10:32:00.001-07:00

Playtown is an indoor kids place full of toys, jumpy houses, trains, etc.
It's so close to our place and so nice to go there now that it's too hot to go to the park.

the kid just wont look at the camera!!

PB sandwiches are ALWAYS a bad idea

Little Picasso =)

2009-09-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

Some nice piece of art he made at the Ymca

Helping mommy!

2009-09-21T10:20:00.001-07:00

He likes to sweep the patio!!

San Diego Zoo

2009-09-21T10:04:00.000-07:00

On 08/24 a friend of mine from one of my playgroups gave us a zoo pass, we don't have a membership yet, so it was a nice way to see if Dylan will be interested in it. I will say NOT YET! lol, he just wanted to run around and pick up rocks and sticks, didn't really care for the animals yet, we might try again in a few months.

San Carlos Park

2009-09-21T09:44:00.000-07:00

A few pictures of a morning spent at the park on 08/18 =)

Green Apples

2009-08-31T08:34:00.000-07:00

I craved green apples when I was pregnant!

If daddy does it, I'll do it too!

2009-08-31T08:24:00.000-07:00

Daddy puts his new shoelaces on his shoes and Dylan helps :)

New Haircut

2009-08-17T08:05:00.001-07:00

Some of you know that I been cutting Dylan's hair for some time now, and it always comes out decent :)

Well, last week my skills came to an end as I ruined his hair horribly.

Tom decided to fix it and it actually came out cute :)

No more haircuts from mommy!!!

Nice canvas!

2009-08-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

It doesn't matter if I give him paper or a coloring book, it always ends like this

Balboa Park afternoon - 08/09/09

2009-08-10T14:14:00.000-07:00

Fun day playing at the park, altough I found Balboa Park dirtier than before! =(

Daddy's little helper

2009-08-10T13:59:00.000-07:00

Everytime Tom does something manly around the house Dylan tries hard to do the same. Here he is "helping" daddy fix his bike ;)

I can dress myself!

2009-08-10T13:39:00.000-07:00

Dylan is really into dressing himself. He's good at putting on his crocs, but he still needs more time to master shirts and pants.
(that's a shirt!)

Big Boy!

2009-08-07T13:08:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Dylan tried on my flip flops and walked around and hid from me. Then before naptime he looked into daddy's sock drawer, pulled a brown sock, put it on all by himself and walked to his room to play :)

Please try to ignore our nasty carpet ;)

Flagstaff and Grand Canyon Trip June/2009

2009-08-05T12:38:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from our vacation to Arizona =)

Happy 23rd month!

Today Dylan turns 23 months and to celebrate, he would like to serenade you:

WHO SLEEPS LIKE THIS?

Lake Murray 08/01

2009-08-04T10:36:00.001-07:00

Over the weekend my mom came to get away from the 115 degree heat back home (yikes!) We went to Lake Murray on Saturday and Dylan had a great time riding his trike, chasing birds and squirrels.

Preggo friend and nosey kid

2009-08-04T10:29:00.000-07:00

My pregnant friend Carolina came over and ask me to take a picture of her and her belly, but Dylan wanted to be in the shot and ruined it! lol

"Horsie" Giraffe

2009-08-04T10:21:00.000-07:00

Just a couple of cute pictures of Dylan riding his "horsie".
A great Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa!

Messy beach trip

2009-08-04T10:01:00.000-07:00

On 07/26 we decided to take Dylan to the beach, he loves playing in the sand although he's not too crazy about cold water.

Well, after Tom dunked him in the water, he decided to roll around in the sand until he was a muddy mess, then he got up towards the ladies next to us who had a toddler girl and lots of sand toys. The older lady looked scared as this muddy monster was approaching them all crazy! To make the story short, we had to leave early, because every time we dunk him he did the same.

At the end we were all a muddy mess and the car ended up horribly dirty. I couldn't take pictures of the final result due to the camera being all muddy but you get the picture, no pun intended :)

Dairy Queen date

2009-08-03T16:01:00.000-07:00

After all the teething, one night of fever, sleepless nights and poor appetite, Dylan seems to be back to normal. He is sleeping through the night and eating like his daddy, so we decided to take him on a special trip to dairy queen on July 25th.

Dylan's trike

2009-08-03T15:22:00.000-07:00

A while ago we decided to get a tricycle for Dylan, he got really excited with all things bicycles (thanks to daddy!) Everytime he sees a bike or trike he demands to get on it, after much research we found that the nicer kettle one (BTW it's way too expensive) and the old school radio flyer, were too big for him and he couldn't reach the pedals. So finally we found the Schwinn roadster which is not only cool looking, but you can also move the seat back and forth for when he gets taller. Also it's a low rider so you don't flip over on turns (Dylan doesn't need more bruises).

Frozen yogurt popcicle!

2009-08-03T15:06:00.000-07:00

Just a few messy pictures of the monkey to make you smile :)

taken on July 15th, It's hot in here!!

I know, I know, It's way hotter were you are ;)

Victoria's Garden playdate

2009-08-03T14:23:00.000-07:00

On July 13 I was brave enough to take Dylan to a playdate at Victoria's Garden, right in the heart of Lakeside. It was soooo hot and humid, poor Dylan was miserable. He didn't care for the petting zoo or the inflatable jumpers and he looked like he hated me when I put him on the pony ride.
He looks scared on the pics, but he was just annoyed... lol

I learned my lesson, no more playdates in the desert in the middle of the summer.

And this how the playdate ended:

First timer!

2009-08-03T14:19:00.000-07:00

So I finally decided to create a blog, despite all my efforts not to ever do it (seems like a lot of work!) So bear with me, I don't know how to make it all pretty and stuff yet!
