Dillon Is Four (Part 1)

You guys....here comes the explosion of fun known as "Dillon's Birthday." Unbelievably, she is now four years old. To say time flies is a cliche, but also very true. Well, we have a lot of ground to cover so lets get started!

The day of her actual birthday we celebrated at Smash Burgers and then opened presents. Here are the highlights:

Well that's one way to eat your greens.

Finger puppets!

Someone is pretty excited about presents!

Disney Princess cookbook "from" Quinn.

Owl hat and "Mix It Up" book from Aunt Julie.

Three Generations

I wouldn't say any of us are looking our best--I have maternity clothes on and my mom is wearing yellow boat shoes--but when she visited we managed to take this photo of all the girls--three generations to be exact.

At least Dillon looks like a princess.

3 Months Old!

As of October 22:

Quinn's Hospital Adventure

My parents came out to California last month to attend Quinn's baptism, but Quinn had other plans. Rather she developed an infection, spiked a fever in the middle of the night and spent the next day in the hospital. Luckily, after a week of antibiotics, she's fully recovered. I'd say it was her first official adventure.

Sleepy times at the ER.

E.T. light-up foot.

Very roomy accommodations.

Bionic arm.

Cuddling with Julio String Cheese.

Impromptu follow-up trip to the ER.

Adventures in Daycare: Rogue Nation

Dillon is quite social at daycare these days. She loves playing with her friends...and often invites them to dinner at Rubio's!

Things are looking up.

Hula dancing.

The Elsa Braid Brigade.

Doing a big splash.

Water play with her buddies.

Welcome Home

This post is a bit out of order, but as soon as Quinn and I came home from the hospital, Dillon wanted to play babies right alongside us. It was good to see her so excited about her little sisty, as she calls her.

Hello, babies!

Just realizing I have two kids now.

The girls.

Quinn Zzzz...

In those early days all babies seem to do is sleep, eat and cry. The sleeping pictures are the cutest, so here is a crop of Quinn logging in some serious naps.
