Beautiful monster

We can already tell that Dylan is going to have a great personality and be pretty funny and entertaining, due to so many different things that he already does including funny facial expressions, funny noises, and always waiting for a reaction and also tends to usually be cracking up at something. Everything he does makes me melt...even when he does his monster/possessed demon groans he's being doing lately! I'm not sure if dressing him up as a monster for his first Halloween confused him ever since!
Here he is the other night doing his monster voice...he toned it down a little to not scare you guys. It's usually a little more intense than this!

Love you dawg!

Before I had Dylan, I think I really thought that I already had two kids of my own that I gave birth to...my dogs Gucci and Kobee. I mean, it was pretty intense...I didn't like go places without them, dressed them up for holidays, cooked them food almost every day, they slept with us, I'd bring them back souvenirs from trips, I showed off pictures of them to people every place I went, etc... When I was pregnant, I even remember "joking" around and asking Geno, my mom, and Jen if I would be able to love my baby as much as I loved my dogs. Hahaha I'd laugh it off like I wasn't too serious, and then ask myself later "will I?!" Well, of course now that Dylan is here I can't believe I even wondered this since there is no comparison in how much more I love and adore Dylan! To be honest, sometimes I even feel bad now on how much i sometimes don't pay attention to them or neglect them or totally lose my patience with them. We almost had to call a rescue team one time when it looked like Kobee was about to jump to his death from the couch when he was hanging  half his body awkwardly off the top of the couch while staring at us playing with Dylan! He has tried this a few times.  At least Gucci is the opposite; she is over protective of him, tries to constantly be near him and I even think she might be confused and thinks he is her son! I don't know if it was that delirious sleep-deprived state you're in that first week after you're home from the hospital, but I swear she tried to soothe and feed him once! :)

I know this will change soon once Dylan is finished teething and once he starts to chase after them and play around with them in the backyard. They will be the best of friends, I already feel it! Dylan is obsessed with staring at them, laughs at them, and tries to reach out to pet and hug them. I'm very lucky to have two little buddies for Dylan that I completely trust around him. Now I find myself asking a different question...how will I be able to love my next baby as much as I love Dylan!?

 

Butterflies

If you know me pretty well, you'd know that it is way out of character for me to have anything to do with the internet like this. But...there is way too much love and beautiful and fun moments to keep all to myself! My best friend gave me that little extra push I needed to get this blog started, since I think we need that mommy outlet. I know I heard it from mom's a million times before, but I never got it until I experienced it myself. Having Dylan really is the most amazing experience ever and you feel like no one else could possibly feel what you are feeling. I feel so much love for him, it's almost like my body can't possibly hold it all in. Now that he's here, I can't imagine life without him or even that he wasn't always here. It's like I was missing out before he came. I can sit there and hold him and breathe him in all day long (well, until he barfed in my mouth while I was doing that yesterday). This blog is basically for my little man, Dylan. I never knew there was a love like this before.
You give me butterflies every time you look at me and smile at me.
