Dylan update

Dylan weighed 10lbs. 7oz. this week without any clothes on. (Can't really compare that to last week's since it was a different scale - the digital one was out of commission last week.) Strangely, he actually lost like .04 of an ounce after I fed him. Maybe I waited to long after feeding him to weigh him.

Dylan slept his longest stretch over the weekend - 8 hours. Unfortunately, I didn't know he was going to sleep that long so I didn't go to bed with him at that time (he went to bed at 8pm). Sunday he went to bed at 6pm (then got up at 11:30pm). I think we really tired him out over the weekend. Saturday we went to Tysons Corner Mall - that place will tire anyone out (wow, the kids and strollers and aahhh - we were in the food court area near the little playground they have there - soo many people). Then we went to two parties - a baby shower and a two-year old's birthday party. That was the night he slept 8 hours. Then yesterday we went to church and then hiking. That was when he went to bed at 6pm without any help. So I'm wondering though, is this good for him? I think it great - we get to go out and do things with him and then we get to come home and have him sleep. Although, he does get tired when we are out and starts to get fussy. I'm starting to think he's more fussy than a lot of kids when he's out. It seems the other babies I see at parties and bible study and the support group don't cry as much. Probably nothing to worry about, that's just Dylan. He's so content and happy at home with us and I want others to see that. I think we need to keep taking him out though so he'll get used to it and other people.

Hannah went through a phase where she was fussy every time we went somewhere and I found myself constantly saying, "She's really a good baby at home!!!" but it passed quickly and now she's great in public. I think people understand!
