Dylan

Dylan was born on Tuesday, May 25, 2004 @ 12:34pm.

My life changed in an instant and I honestly can barely remember life before him.

He truly was the perfect baby.

It is so very hard to believe that 6 1/2 years has passed and he no longer looks like a short, chubby blonde version of Jonathan. He is tall, thin and really is coming into his own look as a young man. 

Although you would never know by looking at him that he belongs to me, it is very apparent in his attitude, sarcasm and sense of humor, which tends to get him in trouble-even by me...maybe I should give him a break more often. He can't help it right? :)

Jonathan and I have learned so much from Dylan and I hope that he grows up to be a strong, successful, independent man with great family values and lots of wonderful memories of his childhood.

Even though he is "a big boy" these days and I sometimes feel that I have lost my little boy to early teenage craziness, he surprises me and still warms my heart with a huge bear hug or crawling in my lap just to cuddle. 

It's an odd sight since he is so big, but I treasure these moments because one day, he either may not fit the same or he may be "too cool" for his Mommy.

Until then, I savor these moments and will hold them in my heart forever.
