Drumroll please.....

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that on Wednesday, May 12th, Dylan had his first (of what is sure to be many to come!!) poopy diaper!!

To some this may seem gross, weird or just plain interesting...but to us, it means the world. As many of you know, Dylan was born with a condition called imperforate anus. For 7 months he has had a colostomy bag, and for us, the main thing this surgery means is FREEDOM! Dylan can now roll around on his belly, take a bath, etc....who would have ever thought that poop could be so exciting??!!

Dylan again did not cease to amaze us with his guts, determination and quick recovery. He really does make us so proud!!

7 months old

Yesterday was my birthday, and today Dylan turns 7-months old. Time goes by so fast and I love the personality that Dylan is developing. I love hearing stories about "what Dylan did today," and WOW can he go on and on "chattering." He always makes me laugh!

Dylan goes into the hospital on Sunday to get prepped for his next surgery which is taking place on Monday, May 10th. Sunday is also Mother's Day, and unfortunately, Shannon will be spending it in the hospital with Dylan. I know there will be many more Mother's Days to be celebrated in the years to come, but for now, I just wanted to wish Shannon a Happy Mother's Day. We are all so proud of you....these past few months I know have been challenging, but one day Dylan will grow to know how lucky he is to have you in his life!
