Dylan at 11 months

Dylan's first birthday is just around the corner and we are definitely soaking up these last few months of babyhood before he transitions into a full blown toddler. He is able to stand unassisted for several seconds and just yesterday morning he took his first steps- they were literally two baby steps but I think he will be walking around in the next few weeks. He was so proud of himself when he took those steps and has the biggest smile on his face whenever we notice him standing unassisted. He's really starting to actively communicate with us as well. Just this week Evan taught him how to give high fives and he finally started clapping if we prompt him. He is still into EVERYTHING and loves exploring his little world. This week I took him to his first Gymboree class and he seemed to love it. It's not too often he is around other babies his age so he really lit up when he saw all the other babies he could "talk"to, and man does this kid talk- he's constantly babbling and seems to know exactly what he's saying :)

He was completely in awe of the new roller coaster rides at BG

After Christmas Eve services, Dylan charmed all the old ladies sitting behind us during the service

The sprouting of his first teeth- he got 4 at once, 2 on top, 2 on the bottom

Hugs with Aunt Vicki and Cousin Kyndall

He still loves to eat everything we put in front of him!
