Musical Fish

Dylan recently mastered grabbing and pulling on the fish hanging overhead in his kick & crawl gym. I've shown him several times since we got it that the green fish plays music when a button is pushed. On Monday, I decided to show him a few more times using his hands to see if maybe he was at the point where he could learn to do it himself. Sure enough, a short time later, Dylan hit the button and the music played! When I told Trent about it that night, I commented that I wasn't sure Dylan realized exactly what he was doing but was certain...

Three Months

The months seem to be passing faster and faster. I continue to be amazed at all the new things Dylan does as he grows. A few changes I've noticed during the past month...* improved eye and hand coordination. Instead of just batting at objects, he is grabbing a hold of them:He can pull the owl toy off his bouncy seat and gets a bit frustrated at times that he's not strong enough to pull the fish off the gym yet.* rolls to either side from his...

Optimistic

This month I had Monica's My Imaginary Friends circle journal. She asked us to each create a 2-page layout about ourselves sharing photos of our family & pets and answering the question "What is just one word that describes you?" After thinking a bit, I decided on "optimistic" as I think it fits my personality perfectly. I've always been a happy, glass half-full person and believe there is a positive in every situation.Supplies: Bazzill (purple)...
