Happy 1st Birthday to Dylan!

We can't believe it but our little Baby Dylan is One Year Old today!  It's been an amazing year filled with lots of joy.  Dylan couldn't be a happier little guy and he brings huge smiles to our faces everyday.  Take a look at how much he's grown:

It has been an incredible year of learning for Dylan!  At one year old, he is becoming such a big boy and has the following tricks:

• Eats yogurt from a bowl with a spoon all by himself!  It is incredibly messy but he loves it.
• Says a few new words:  "Hi", "ook" (book), "wawa" (water), "baba" (bottle), "agua" (I'd love to say he knows water in Spanish but it's probably something else.  He says it all the time!)  His other words are Momma and Dadda and Bye Bye.  
• Whenever he hears "Old MacDonald", he recites the "E-I-E-I-O" part (minus the O).  
• Talks on the phone.  He holds the phone to his ear and says, "Hi!"  And, he holds lots of non-phone items up to his ear to see if anyone is talking through it.
• Climbs up on Liam's toddler bed.
• Picks up a brush or a comb and begins brushing his hair all by himself.
• Feeds himself his entire meal.
• Climbs up and down an entire flight of stairs in a flash.
• Drinks from a straw cup.
• Throws everything he can get his hands on, especially any type of ball.  The football he got for his birthday looks quite appropriate in his arms since he's quite the bruiser.
• Throws tantrums every time he is told "no" or is removed from an activity.
• Puts his hand in the toilet if it's left open.
• Puts everything in his mouth.
• Walks the walls.
• Stands in one place for a few seconds by himself.
• Takes about two steps unassisted.
• Plays a mini-drum set like a pro, including the foot pedal.
• Enjoys playing with Playdoh.  (With lots of supervision since he also likes to put it in his mouth.)
• Loves to dance to music.
• Screams periodically at the top of his lungs in the car just to let me know he's still there and is still unhappy that he's strapped in.
• Stands up at the glass front door and waves.

I guess I could go on and on about our amazing little Dylan.  What a year it's been and we look forward to seeing what the next year will bring.  Walking seems to be the next milestone on his list!  Or, maybe this little guy will go straight to running!
