Busy, Busy May

Where did May go? We traveled every weekend so I am sure that is why it is already June. Since my last post we went to Austin on May 16th to celebrate Layla's 4th birthday. She is such a big girl. Her birthday party got rained out on Saturday but Dylan had a blast playing with his cousins all day. He met Juliet for the first time and was very curious about the baby. He was very good while I was holding her which was surprising to me. Sunday we headed home so Steven could catch a plane - to Vegas for work of course!

While Steven was gone I took Dylan to his swim lesson which I had some anxiety about since I have to wear my preggo swimsuit. Dylan did really well and was a good boy while Steven was gone although we are always so happy when he returns! Thursday night before we left for Atlanta - Dylan had his first sleep over. Jessica went into early labor so Tyler got to spend the night. He was so easy and Dylan really enjoyed his company.

Friday, May 22nd we flew to Atlanta for Steven's little brothers high school graduation. Dylan was an angel on the plane and slept most of the way and then ate snacks and looked out the window. He had a great time playing at Grandparent Zimmerman's house - they had cars, trains, bubbles, fish, cats and basket balls. He was very busy and really took a liking to Uncle Bryan. If Bryan went outside or upstairs Dylan wanted to follow him. Dylan sat through the whole high school graduation - which was impressive. Dylan also enjoyed Bryan's graduation party and spent most of his time blowing bubbles for the guest out on the patio. Dylan's only melt down while in Atlanta was when we had to leave the carousel/mall. He loved riding the animals on the carousel and was more than upset when we tried to leave and put him in the car. Again he was an angel on the airplane and we went all ready to get home even if it was only for a few days.

Last week I had CPE training at Reliant - you can imagine how much fun that was and then Friday we left for Port A. Kim, Jason and Abby joined us. Dylan and Abby played well together and a good time was had by all. The boys were able to fish in the morning and Kim and I was at least able to have relaxing, kid free lunches at the beach hut. Dylan loved running on the beach and chasing the birds. We came home yesterday and are hoping to stay in town at least for this weekend!

Last night Steven took Dylan to swim class again and it was the first time other kids have been in the class. Dylan loved it as always and Steven says he is making progress. Today Dylan is 19 months old - he is talking more and louder than ever. He is also running and climbing on everything. This weekend we are going to take a bench and coffee table out of our house for space and so Dylan can not climb on top of them. He still loves trucks, buses and tractors and points them out on the road when we are driving. When he sees something exciting he says "eyes" which I think means I see. He is still a Mommy's boy but has been showing more interest in Steven lately and gets very excited when Daddy comes home.
