The last couple of weeks have been great!  Dylan is growing so fast and I really just want to stop time.  I can’t believe he is 7 weeks already!   Since Dylan has arrived, Drew has seemed so much bigger also!

Drew has been an awesome big brother and loves to help out with Dylan.  As a matter of fact, he is such a big helper that this morning he decided that he was going to pick Dylan up off of his Boppy pillow and bring him to us!  David and I just about had a heart attack.   He was “playing” with Dylan (as seen to the right) and all of the sudden we look up and he has his arms held out holding Dylan around the waist.  We ran to him in a panic and grabbed Dylan but didn’t get on to him terribly bad because he thought he was helping so well.  We sat him down and made sure he understood that if he wanted to hold baby brother that he just needed to ask us… and to never pick him up.

Dylan started smiling on Friday… David and I were talking to him and making little noises and trying to tickle his face and he had the biggest smile!  Since then, we have gotten him to smile multiple times.  (Left- is the best picture we’ve gotten so far)  Our hearts melt when we see it.  He is beginning to show his little personality and continues to be such a great baby! 

Drew has been doing great also!  He adores Dylan and is behaving like a big boy.  We are so proud of him!  Every day we are amazed at his speech and what he is learning.  This week he learned how to spell his name and at school he is learning a new letter each day.  He also says the funniest things like… “when you get littler you can ride the bus with me”.    He is obsessed with school buses and can’t wait till he gets bigger so he can ride one. 

David and I are doing well and enjoying every moment with our boys!  It has been lots of fun and we look forward to raising them and watching them grow up together. 

We hope you and your families have a Happy Thanksgiving!
