Laura and I recently experienced our first nights without Dylan. We went on a vacation to Virgin Gorda to visit some friends, and both of us were near miserable. We were gone a total of 5 days and 4 nights. You know how when you go on vacation, the traveling to your destination always seems to go quickly because you're looking so forward to it. Well, this is the first time ever that I was more excited coming back than I was going. Just another example of how becoming a parent changes your life.
He still says, "Dadadadadada" a lot, but he has started truly bonding with Laura. Anytime Laura leaves the room, he pouts and whines. Cute for now.
It's true what they say about dirty diapers getting dirtier when a baby is teething and even more when you add baby food. I hope I don't offend anyone, but I must share. Laura left this morning before we changed Dylan's diaper and yes, it was a nasty poopy diaper. Only this time, it was 3 different colors (light brown, greenish brown, and orange...carrots, I guess) and 3 different consistencies (hard, grainy, and runny). And, I almost threw up at least 3 different times...not really, I actually handled it pretty good, but...there was a time when I would have. Amazing how having a kid changes us. And, what crazy is he's only been around 6 months!! I look forward to all the memories our family will be making!!!!
