yesterday he had his first dentist appointment.  check out those pearly whites…man i love his mouth:)

last night was his first night without a “passy”.  not because i took it, we just couldn’t find one.  he broke my heart when he cried for it like he had lost a friend:(  it’s so hard to see my baby growing up.  when he found it this morning, his excitement equaled someone who had found their long lost friend.  i’m not sure how i’m going to handle it…like i said…breaks my heart.

and my little man has potty trained himself.  that’s right…i said “himself”.  after having such a hard time with eli, i refused to push my timing on dylan.  after all, they are not going to go to high school in pull ups…right?  then one day our neigbors were over, and something clicked for him.  i think he realized he was the only one wearing a diaper.  i found him in his room with the door shut, putting on unders.  he’s been pretty much done since then.  of course he’s had a few accidents, but he hasn’t looked back.

i’m feeling a little sad, but mostly proud of the little man my baby is becoming.  he’s so incredibly sweet.  has the best sense of humor.  his facial expressions are my favorite things to see, and his little lisp is my favorite thing to hear.  and i hope he never stops “showing” me how he wants his back massaged at night.

oh, mister dylan.

terra: He is too cute for words! AND HOORAY for Dylan for potty training himself...very impressive!
