11

Oh my Dylan! Happy Birthday to my Big D! What do I say about Dylan? Dylan is a sweetheart about 90% of the time. He does his homework, he gives me hugs (real ones, with his arms wrapped around me), he is thoughtful, polite, thrifty, serious and loves to do his best! But watch out for that 10%. He has quite the temper! Although, he is quick to apologize once he's cooled down. I love my Dylan and I'm so proud of him!
8 months old. One time I was walking through the mall with some friends with Dylan in the snugly facing out and this woman yelled at me from across the way, "That is the cutest baby I've ever seen!" It was totally weird, but he was a beautiful baby!
4 years old. He was being a dinosaur. This was during his naughty stage, it lasted from about 1 to 5, yikes! He's lucky he was cute!
5 years old at some friends' wedding. Their photographer snapped this one!
Ice cream cake! I'm perfecting it, I think next time I will add a layer of frosting or fudge. YUM!
Birthday pancakes! One's are easy. That is Dylan's buddy on the right, I like to think of him as our Marshall (only the Jones' will understand that)! Any chance they get they are either at his house or at ours.

Callen @ 6 Months

Prepare for a gushy mushy post! I can't believe 6 months has flown by. Aside from being super busy, as having 5 kids will do to you, it has been a blissfull 6 months. Callen has been sleeping through the night for a few months now, he's ok if he gets one big nap at home or 5 little naps on the go. Usually, when he gets tired he gets silly. Giggling at anything. He puts up with his extremely overbearing big sister, who is in his face almost all the time. The only time he really gets mad is if he gets really hungry or he is in a big crowd with lots of noise (both of which make me cranky too). Sometimes he will just fall asleep while he's playing on the floor. He is a DREAM! And that doesn't even take into account how gorgeous he is!! I'm so in love with this little man! I warned you gushy and mushy.
My good friend Lauren has a photography business and was kind enough to take pictures of my little googly goose. She is so good, I can't hardly narrow them down. I've gotten them down to 8 that I would like framed, I need more walls. Once again, thank you Lauren!

Check out his eyelashes in the b&w one!

Dreamy, isn't he? I'm so blessed to have this little monkey in our life. I thank my Father in Heaven everyday for the joy he has brought to our family. It amazes me to see kids who fight like crazy with each other be sweet as pie to Callen.
I had to put this one in. He makes this silly face all the time, it's one of my favorites!!
