A good Saturday

Wow, am I terrible at picking a favorite picture from a photo shoot or what?? In any case, here's a slew of similar looking pictures, yet again! I just think Dylan's every facial expression is so adorable that I can never just pick one! The hazards of being a Mommy I guess... ;)

Daddy & Dyl at dinner tonight - Chadmo made steaks and fried rice, YUM! Dyl started out in her highchair, but she's been awfully snuggle-y the past few days and decided she'd like to continue that pattern and be held instead of just observing. They're keeping me company while I finish up my dinner here, and yes, we do stop in the middle of dinner for cute photo-ops! :)

The only part of bathtime that Dylan's not overly fond of - lotioning. But she's starting to resign herself to it. She's a pretty good girl, and if you subject her to something often enough, she tends to decide to suck it up and cooperate. (Unless that something would be riding in the car, baby bjorn, ergo, or stroller. :/)

Adorable naked pigger-gogs, post-bath. They're so cute that sometimes it's hard to not nibble them off! (Once again, I don't have any idea why this is underlined.)

Telling her just how cute she is in an attempt to elicit some of those big smiles...

There's one! Those are the most gratifying smiles in the world!

Anticipating Mommy smooches!

Pretty in Pink! I keep trying to warn her that life is difficult when you're so adorable, because everyone just wants to smooch you all the time and it's hard to get anything else done.

Last night was amazing! Dyl slept from 12:45 am - 9:20 am! I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up too high that this is going to last, but it's hard not to. I'll just enjoy it to the max when it does happen! We had a productive & fun day today: we took down our Christmas tree, hauled 3 loads of firewood to the house, went for a long walk in town, made a tasty dinner, made chocolate chip walnut oatmeal cookies (dairy free of course!), and grocery shopped. Now Dylan is just asleep (or seems to be, she can be sneaky about that sometimes), so I better head to bed myself. Sweet dreams.
