Playing Catch Up

Ok, so I guess I was a little ambitious on the weekly/monthly updates!  Haha!  But one of my New Years Resolutions is to Blog regularly for our family so, here we go.  I would go back and write a bunch of 'make up' posts about the last few months, but most of you have heard or know what's going on in our family, so a quick break down will do.

1) We had a beautiful little girl on September 4th, 2010 at 7:14am.  Her name is Dylann Marie and she weighed 8lbs 14oz and was almost 22 inches long!  One of the most amazing experiences of my life was holding her for the first time... I will never forget it.

2) Dylann's first month was great and we some how got very lucky with an angel baby.  She sleeps well, eats well, and only cries when she needs something.  Not sure what Kyle and I did in a previous life- but we are loving our baby girl!

3) Dylann's second month was so much fun!  She started to smile and lights up the room with her emerging personality.  For her first Halloween I just had to dress her up as a 'Baby Swan'... she was precious. She also had her first set of shots on November 4th and I brought Kyle for moral support.  She was a trooper, but that is a sound I never what to hear again.

4) During month 3, Dylann started sleeping 12 hours through the night (amazing!) and has started to giggle and hold her head up.  She is so bright eyed and observant.  She really takes everything in.

5) For the holidays we went to Atlanta for Thanksgiving where Dylann and her cousin, Emma, got to bond.  Grandpa Starck also came down to join us which was a nice treat. Then for Christmas we went to Atlanta for a few days and saw Ashley and Tom who were in town from LA along with the rest of the Johndrow Crew.  From there we drove 14 hours to WI to see Kyle's family.  We were there for a week and a half and got to see a lot of the family which was wonderful.  Everyone loved Dylann and she had a great first Christmas, meeting Santa, spending time with family and new cousins, and seeing snow for the first time!

 

So there's a break down of what we have been up to!  Let's move on to the New Year, and hopefully a more up-to-date blog!
