Dancing

I can't stop watching this video of Dylan and Lindsey dancing, so I thought I would share it.  It makes me giggle every time I watch it.  This is Lindsey's signature move,  every now and then she will throw in a jump spin to spice it up a little bit :) The first few seconds really are the best so try and catch her wiggle those hips like crazy.

Lindsey Babe

When I was younger and thought about my future children, I always pictured myself having boys.  I never thought that I would have a girl, I like sports, hiking, rough housing, I felt that boys would be perfect for me. When we found out we were going to have a little girl I was secretly panicking inside, my thoughts were "I can't do hair, I am not stylish, can I handle the moodiness?"  But this little girl has brought something out of me that I never imagined.  I am doing her hair (especially proud of the braids), painting fingernails, playing with dolls, and dancing on a daily basis.  I am absolutely in love with her and can't get enough of her energetic personality.
It is so much fun seeing what she will come up with next.  She loves to tell stories, in fact she just loves to talk.  Talking is her way of learning, asking questions and making sure she understands her world.  The other thing she loves to do is draw and create.  Lindsey comes up with the most interesting and creative drawings, She likes to do her homework and takes it very seriously (her homework usually entails a princess notebook and a drawing of her own creation :).
Every time I look at her she has a new outfit on.  She loves clothes and likes to mix and match.  One second she will be in a polka dot skirt and a flowered shirt and the next she'll have striped purple pants and an a fluorescent colored  printed dress.  Let's not forget the princess dresses she for about two-thirds of the day.  When we drop Dylan off at school his teacher always asks Lindsey what princess she for the day.

Lindsey has such an intelligent, creative and upbeat personality which shows in these silly pictures of our everyday life.

The Dylan Shmylan

Our Sweet boy has blossomed over the last few months.  Dylan has been able to communicate better, therefore, entertaining us by his imagination.  He likes to play with his dinosaurs, dance in his dress up clothes, build towers with his blocks and play birthday.  In fact the last is his favorite thing to do.  Almost everyday he takes his "birthday cake" he makes with the blocks and sings to us waiting for one of us to blow out the candle.  One day we caught a photo of  him with his "birthday hat and cake".  He's getting really good at singing the birthday song the entire way through and will randomly sing it throughout the house. 

The other thing he truly loves is his daddy.  He loves to help Daddy.  The other day Devin was out changing the oil in the car and Dylan came out to help and He saw Daddy working with his wrench.  He ran into the house all of a sudden searching for something.  When he came back he had his wrench in his hand and looked at the car searching for Devin's. I love the picture we caught of them with their wrenches. He is such a kind-hearted boy, Dylan is constantly trying to help and make us all happy.  He is very protective of Lindsey and is always watching out for her.  He gets very concerned when she is upset or hurt and won't stop until she is happy again.
