Dylan Goes to Practice

Dylan went to watch the Chargers practice this weekend at the Fan Fest. Like usual, she was more interested in waiving to everyone sitting around us than in watching the game. Oh well... here is a pic...

Dylan Climbs Stairs

Since we don't have any stairs at our place, Dylan had to go over to her aunt Sara's house to try out her latest trick... climbing stairs. Here are the pics:

Determined to Crawl

In the picture below, Dylan attempts to break through a pillow barrier her Dad made to keep her from roaming throughout the house. She's getting more and more clever.. a couple of weeks ago she wouldn't have figured out that you can just push pillows aside and crawl through them. I think I need an actual gate.

Dylan Reads "Pat the Bunny"

Dylan's new favorite thing to do is have her parents read her a book called Pat the Bunny by Dorothy Kunhardt. Its a book that has things for her to do on every page.. like look at herself in the mirror, wave to the people in the book, and of course, pat the felt that passes for a bunny. Anyway, she wants to have someone read this book to her endlessly.

Here are a couple of pictures of Dylan trying to get her Dad to read it to her.

Dylan looks at her Dad and says...


"Read me my book!"

Go Cubs Go!

Dylan and her Dad are both Cubs fans.

Dylan Climbs a Mountain

Dylan put her hiking clothes and went up a mountain. With the help of her brand new hiking backpack, she scaled most of Cowles Mountain, a small mountain in San Diego. Here is a pic of Dylan in her new backpack and the view from half way up.
