first boating adventure

Our little moon baby had his first boating trip when he was just 4 weeks old! We went out in Lovers Key State Park on Papas boat, (Tuesdays Pleasure) for about an hour and a half. We cruised around the inside waterway and went by dog beach and had lunch on the boat. Dylan slept the whole time, he loved it! In fact the only time he made a peep or moved an inch was when the boat stopped. This child is definitely his fathers son, also a moon baby thus a water lover!

Dylan smiled at us for the first time today...and it just happens to be Papas birthday!

Happy Birthday Papa!He has been smiling up a storm today. There is nothing like it!

week four...sunny days

As soon as the doctors gave us the green light to hit the road toward sunny days in Florida, we were headed south! Dylan enjoyed his first ride in the motorhome! He slept in his seat strapped to the couch with mommy by his side the entire way. (except for when his mimi sat with him so a very overtired mommy could go nap) It was a very different trip for daddy, sitting all by his lonesome!

This week Dylan decided he will only sleep in his vibrating chair. We had great intentions. We packed his basinett and had great plans to start him in it right away. Well, Dylan had another plan. He cried his little heart out every time we put him down in the basinett. Perhaps he just doesn't like to sleep flat on his back...

We adjusted to the warm weather quite nicely. Now off to the store to find multiple sun hats to keep our precious child out of the sun!

week three...tummy troubles

Well, we had a very traumatic conclusion to week two with our little love. On the day we were supposed to be leaving for our winter south, Dylan starting having projectile vomit each and every time he ate. After many doctors proding and ultrasound techs diagnosing, he was admitted to Bostons Childrens Hospital for Pyloric Stenosis. We spent a very sad night in the hospital holding and consoling our very hungry and confused babe. On Wednesday December 29th Dylan had laparoscopic surgery to fix his tummy passage so that he could retain his food. So....after 2 nights of sleeping in a large crib with our 2 week old angel hooked up to IVs and heart monitors, we were discharged on December 31st. Happy New Year.

Thankfully our little man rebounded like a champ and was more alert than ever and eating like a pro by the beginning of week four. Phew.....

week two...here comes santa claus

                                                         

This week we had lots of visitors and friends bring us delicious meals so we didn't have to cook!

We also celebrated Dylans first Christmas with the whole Bancroft famliy.

This was such a special time that we will never ever forget...

                                                           Some of Dylans favorite visitors...

week one...its a whole new world

Dylans first week was a very sleepy one. He never missed a feeding though,

waking up every two hours like clockwork.

 He loved to snuggle in with mommy or daddy on the couch.

At his one week check-up he weighed 9lbs 3oz ....already surpassing his birth weight!
