"Helll-lo, Dylan! We’re glad that you are here…"

Yesterday, Dylan and I attempted to participate in Storytime at the public library (along with Heather and Taliana). We sang a few songs — including the Name Song, where the group sang everyone’s names, as well as a number of lap-bouncy tunes — and listened to a few stories read aloud by the teacher.

He was the youngest tike there. The next youngest baby was a 2 1/2 month old girl who just looked tiny relative to Dylan. Next to her, Dylan’s arms and legs looked absolutely chunky and his head looked gigantic! He also looked like he was about twice her length! We’re not sure how much Dylan actually weighs these days, but it’s clear that he has grown quite a bit.

We’ll find out what his stats are at his next doctor’s appointment next week….

Dylan and I accompanied Heather and Taliana and Jason, Tyler and Cindy to Bonfante Gardens this past Monday. My oh my was it hot!

This picture here is of Dylan getting his diaper changed over in the water park area….He was such a good little boy even with the heat! He pretty much nursed while we all ate lunch and then he slept up until I woke him up to change his diaper and nurse him again before we left. On the way home, he managed to fall fast asleep (as did Taliana!).

Dylan’s new hat…

The weather has been great for taking Dylan out and about! The problem we’ve had, though, is with sun protection, so we finally went out and got him a hat. Here he is showing it off….

6 weeks old

Dylan’s 6-week mark coincided with his first long road trip — a weekend at Lake Tahoe.

It took us about 7 hours to get there given the holiday traffic and the nursing stops, but Dylan was a true trooper (here’s a shot of him in the car seat he spent so much time sitting in)!

In Tahoe, we stopped by Meek’s Bay on one day and took a 5-ish mile hike in Sugar Pine Point State Park the next.

He really seemed to enjoy all of the outdoor sounds and the shadows of all of the trees, etc.! The boy really seems to like being outside, in general…when we’re at home, he’ll often start fussing when I bring him back indoors!

Dylan’s 40…

06/26/2006 - blue/gray eyes wide open!…in days, that is!

At today’s doctor’s appointment, he weighed in at 8 lbs. 14 oz. which means he’s gained 14 ounces in 15 days. His eyes are now completely clear and his skin has lost all traces of yellow. In short, it’s all thumbs-up with him!

He’s still eating well and now he’s alert for longer periods of time during the day.

We all went to Palo Alto for lunch (at Kan Zeman) and a trip to the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo. The museum was little, with just a few displays involving golf balls and an equally small zoo with only a rabbit, some bats, a few geese and ducks, some snakes and lizards, some fish and a peacock.

Despite its size (Jason was wondering where the zebra and giraffe were!), it’s still a great place to take little kids.

Right next to the museum and zoo, there was a playground where Jason and Tyler could run around for a little while before we all headed back to San Jose.

The picture here is taken at the playground….Jason and Tyler both still adore Dylan, so Jason was ecstatic that he could hold Dylan on his lap for a bit…!

Dylan is 5 weeks old today and not looking any less cute than ever!

He’s so peaceful when he sleeps. This week, he’s exhibited signs of appreciating walks in the Peanut Shell and good responsiveness to Itsy Bitsy Yoga and infant massage.

Both yoga and massage seem to help him pass gas and poop.

He’s also smiling more often, too!

Father’s Day at Cindy’s house

father's day 06/18/2006We had a Father’s Day celebration with my family at Cindy’s house where we just had some chow and hung out for a while.

Tom and I also celebrated on Sunday with a walk along West Cliff (actually, Tom did a 5-mile run while Dylan and I walked) and dinner at Zeni Ethiopian in Saratoga. Dylan was so patient at dinner and remained asleep even though there was a 45-minute wait for our food! That was way more patience than he exhibited after the West Cliff walk when, poor thing, he just got fed up with being in his car seat!
