LOL

Most of the time, Dillan will laugh in response to someone's laugh.  Especially if it's Auntie Ann's infectious laugh :)

Snow Day

We had record breaking snowfall on Dillan's 7 month birthday - 11+ inches in one day!!  I honestly do not recall ever having near that amount of snow in Dallas.  Not sure if Dillan will even see anything like it in the future.

Seven Months

Dillan is seven months old!  We are so enjoying him at this age as he is getting more independent and showing his bursting personality with giggles and squeals at everything.  This month, Dillan:

- weighs 20ish pounds
- has four teeth - two on bottom, two on top
- started baby sign language (not much reaction yet, just a ton of repetition on our part)
- responds by putting up his arms when we say 'bao bao' (chinese for 'pick me up')
- loves eating solids: rice cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, but green beans not so much
- enjoys standing while holding onto something
- attended his first birthday party
- is starting to get attached to mommy and daddy

Here are some fun pictures from this past month:

 

Still a thumb sucker

Happiest when eating

More Friends

Elijah came back to visit before going overseas, and we had to have another photo session.  Compare how much they've grown!

Dillan had a 'date' with Miss Hattie, our neighbor who is just a few weeks younger than him.  They even tried to give each other a hug :)

Uncle Michael came to visit while passing through Dallas on his cross-country move.  He's one of a handful of people who have seen both Dillan and his future gf Penny.

Green beans - NG!

 

We're starting green vegetables this week. Apparently green beans are

not as palatable as sweet potatoes.

Eating...another type of solid

I know almost every baby does this, but it still cracks us up whenever Dillan gnaws on his toes.  Especially funny since I really despise feet - adult feet, at least.  Baby's feet are just too cute to despise :)

Mommy or Daddy?

 When Dillan was born, EVERYONE said he looked just like Daddy.  But these days, more people are saying that he's looking more like Mommy.  What do you think?
