Once again, I am late in getting this out :) Dillan is almost 10 months now and I am just now posting his 9 month stats :) Oh well...better late than never!
Height: 30.25in (90th-95th percentile)
Weight: 24lbs 5oz (90th-95th percentile)
Head: 48cm (100th percentile)....he wears the same hat size as Jackson :)
Dillan is a healthy boy and doing great! From birth to about 6 months, Dillan was a very happy and content baby. From 6-9 months, our happy boy was not as happy :( I think he was either sick or teething and was therefore not always a happy camper. But thankfully, our happy baby boy is back! However, he can definitely throw quite the fit! It can be an all out production if he does not get his way. Apparently he comes by that naturally. My mom says that I used to quit breathing and pass out because I would throw such bad temper tantrums...yikes...this could get interesting :) Fortunately, for the most part...he is a happy and sweet little boy that will give you kisses if you ask for them. He is not quite as affectionate as Jackson was / is, but I am just thankful that he lets me hold him and love on him and will put his head on my shoulder for 2 seconds :)
Although Dillan is not saying any "words" yet....he can definitely be loud. Just within the last 2 weeks he has started saying "mama", but not in reference to me....but that is only a matter of time :) He loves rough housing with Walt and Jackson. As a matter of fact, his first play date, he crawled up to the other baby and put his head in the other baby's belly (aka a head butt). We will have to work on his play group etiquette :) He is crawling all over the place and cruises around furniture and on occasion will realize he is not holding onto anything and will get a look of panic on his face. So it will be interesting to see when he decides to walk. He seems physically capable, but at the moment he has no desire. He also LOVES bath time and splashing in the water and chewing on the bath toys.
Dillan is a better sleeper than his brother was at this age although he is also an early riser. What am I doing to create early risers :) He also likes to eat more than Jackson did. He is not a fan of baby food anymore and only wants to eat finger foods. So I need to figure out some more options because Jackson was just the opposite, he liked baby food and not finger foods. Dillan loves his brother. It is so fun to see them play and interact together and hear him laughing at his brother. We are truly blessed to have 2 sweet boys!
Dillan likes watching the praise dvd like Jackson...but he does not want to sit and watch it. He likes to crawl around or stand up in front of the tv. He is also a fan of the pacifier...although thankfully he does not need it to fall asleep at night time. He does use it for naps.
Happy Boy
Jackson is getting so big
He is also a VERY happy boy!
Dillan LOVES to eat
Dillan LOVES climbing up the stairs :) He can climb all the way up the stairs...scary....definitely have to keep a close eye on him!
He is so proud of himself!
Walt got me flowers for my birthday. Jackson really liked them, too :)
On Easter, we had a nice family day. We went to church in the morning and went to the park in the afternoon.
We are not very good with the timer on the camera so it is a little off centered :)
We corrected the camera....so at least this one is centered.

Yes, popcorn is a choking hazard, but Walt insists that he takes the hazard out of the popcorn by only giving Dillan the puffy parts....Dillan LOVES it!
Walt has been working on the shed in the back yard and has fixed it up as a play house. He put on a new roof and painted it to match our house.
Here is one of the two yellow walls. Walt put in insulation, sheetrock, did texture on the walls, painted, ran electrical, trim work, installed a window air conditioner unit, and put in laminate floors. I am sure I missed something, but those are the big items.

The boys love their play house. They are so blessed to have such a wonderful Daddy!
