Baby Einstein

Tyler put together Dylan's Baby Einstein Exersaucer.  We put him in it and had Dylan try it out to see if he liked it.  We put it on the lowest level and his poor feet do not reach the bottom yet, but very soon!  There are so many toys on it he can play with.  I can see him spending a good amount of time in this before getting into his Jeep Walker. 

Spoon Feeding

Today Tyler suggested we try spoon feeding Dylan to see if that helps with his feedings and calming him down more.  Here is how he did..

Let's just say he absolutely enjoyed it!

17 years in the making

This past weekend, Karli and I realized we have been best friends for 17 years!  We met in our high school spanish class.  Since then....

We went to school dances

Went on our Senior Project Cruise trip together

Were in each other's wedding and became wives to amazing men



And now we have become mothers!



Can't wait to see what the next 17 years brings us!

1st Family Trip

For our first family trip we went to Vermont this past weekend and stayed with my best friend, Karli Nissenbaum, and her family.  We packed everything we could think of for Dylan and still forgot stuff at home.  We enjoyed ourselves just relaxing and enjoying the time away from NJ with great friends.  Here are a few pictures of our weekend...

Dylan & Nathan

We are in Vermont until tomorrow and Dylan and Nathan have had some bonding time!  Here are some pictures of the two! 

More pictures to come once we get home!

New Hat

Grandpa Estler asked that we post something on here about Dylan everyday.  We stopped by the Grandparents (Estlers) home tonight to drop off Bronx as we are going to Vermont for the weekend.  I showed him this picture and he loved it...

 This post is for you Grandpa Estler!

Dylan and Mickey

Dylan loves his Mickey!  Can't wait to take him to Disney to see the real thing!  Mommy is hoping sooner than later!

Bath Time

Normally Dylan would act and look like this during and after his bath...

Unfortunately he looked a little like this instead...



Dylan and the girls

Dylan has 2 girls who absolutely adore him - Primas Alexandra and Mikaela Estivenson!  They can't get enough of him!

Dylan's First Christmas

Our favorite time of year and this year was the best with Dylan!  Christmas Eve we went to Roe's home for the traditional Italian 7 Fish Dinner.

Roe loved that she got to hold Dylan with a little help

Christmas morning as a family we opened our stockings and a few presents before going to Grandma and Grandpa Loh's to open up more presents.  We went back for Grandma Loh's birthday dinner.

"Mommy and Daddy's favorite gift is me!"

For lunch we came back to our house where the Eutermarks, Grandma and Grandpa Estler, Uncle Vic and Aunt Dani came to spend some time with Dylan. 

Great Aunt Carol and Great Uncle Ted were excited to see Dylan

We can't wait for next year when Dylan can open up his own presents!
