This weekend, I had several places I had to go and things I had to do. Jeff has been slammed at work lately and was working from home on Saturday. Therefore, I decided to take little man with me so that Daddy could have a nice, quiet house to get some work done. Dylan & I got ready, packed up the car, and headed for Chambersburg/Mercersburg.
The first thing on our agenda for the day was to meet Mommy's cousin, Nicole, at J & B Bridal to get fitted for my bridesmaid's dress. The place was packed, as it usually is around this time of year. While we were waiting in line to talk to somebody, Dylan caught a little girl's attention who was in line next to us. She was quite intrigued by Dylan and started talking to him immediately. Dylan played shy this time and just gave her "the look." It didn't seem to matter to her though, she decided she was going to lean over and lay a big kiss on him, lol. A bunch of people standing around us all let out a collaborative "Awwwwww." I'm in serious trouble. All little girls love Dylan. He has already been kissed by quite a few of them, lol. We were in and out of J & B Bridal as quickly as possibly and headed off to the next activity.
Mommy-to-be opening Brayden's presents.
Next, we headed to Mercersburg for a baby shower for another one of Mommy's cousins, Cortney. When we got here, Dylan played shy for a little bit. He sat at the table with Mom, Aunt Lisha, Great-Grandma Guyer, and some other relatives as well. He was very good for quite some time and played at the table with some books and other toys Mom brought along. Eventually though, sitting at the table became boring and he jumped down from the chair to go exploring. The baby shower was at the American Legion in Mercersburg. Most of the tables were set up at the front of the room therefore, Dylan had plenty of room to walk, run, and explore.
It might have been the ideal large social situation for him, lol. There were A LOT of people there, however, most of them were not paying too much attention to him. He definitely came out of his shyness quickly though. Before I knew it, he was walking away from me into a group of women he didn't know. He kept trying to flirt with some of the younger girls there too. I had never seen him so sociable towards complete strangers or at least most of them were. Long story short, Dylan had a blast playing there and even gave the Mommy-to-be some love too.
After we left the baby shower, Dylan & I went to Grandma & Grandpa Faith's house to visit for a little bit. After hanging out at the house for a little, we all went out to eat. Aunt Blake waited on us. Uncle Cam sat next to Dylan in the booth. Dylan's uncles like to teach him all kinds of fun stuff. They also like to get him really wound up too. But I must say, he always has fun when he gets to spend time with his Uncle Cam and his Uncle Dust. Dylan had a blast and actually ran away from me when it was time to leave, lol. The boy was so wiped out by the time we got home that he only cracked his eyes open once when I carried him in, got him ready for bed, and tucked him in, lol.
The next day, we had some visitors too! Grandma & Grandpa Gray, Aunt Amanda & JR came up to visit us. Dylan was being quite the entertainer again. Grandma Gray was "base" for quite some time and he would sprint across the living room diving onto her lap. Dylan was so silly the whole weekend. He kept trying to walk around with his eyes closed and arms out in front of him for some reason. He also would lay on the floor and arch his back as much as he could at what looked like an attempt at some sort of backbend or something, lol. I don't know if he was so goofy this weekend because he almost always had an audience or if this is just a new thing at the time, lol.

Today is Grandma Ginger or Mamma G's birthday! Her birthday is exactly one week after mine. Dylan & I planned a day trip back to Mercersburg to spend the day with Grandma for her birthday, or at least that was the original plan. Unfortunately, Grandma broke her elbow at work on Thursday!!! Dylan & I still wanted to go back to visit but now it was not only a birthday visit but a get well visit too. Grandma is doing pretty well considering that she has a broken elbow. She did get good news yesterday when she found out that she would not have to get surgery. She might still have to get a cast over her arm but might also be able to just keep it in the sling. She will find out more later but seems to be doing pretty well considering. For now, she is supposed to rest up and recuperate with her arm in a sling. Dylan gave her some get well hugs & kisses yesterday! We hope you get well soon Grandma! We love you!
Dylan had a very fun day playing at Grandma's house. He was very energetic and curious about everything. Dylan especially loves that Grandma has "ki-ki's." Last time we were at Grandma's house he met a little pint sized kitten and had so much fun playing with him.
Dylan was pretty gentle with the kitten. Every so often I would have to remind him to "be nice," but for the most part, he was! He loves animals but we are not allowed animals where we currently live. Maybe someday we'll have a cat or dog but for now it is very nice he gets to visit with everyone's cats & dogs.
While Dylan is taking his second nap of the day, I decided to post the events of our crazy day. Today started out like any other day. We had a fantastic morning. We played, talked, sung, and danced. Little man became tired and decided it was time for an early nap today. He sleep for about an hour. Dylan got up and played between the living room and kitchen while I started making the both of us some lunch. And then it happened....
Dylan came running from the living room to the kitchen. About half way across, he tripped, fell, and hit his face on the kitchen floor. I came running and quick. I scooped him up and realized he was bleeding and quite a bit so we ran to the bathroom to assess the damage. This was all pretty scary. Dylan has been hurt before but never this bad. After a few minutes, I could finally see that his tooth cut his lip when he fell. He calmed down almost right away and kept trying to touch his newly puffy lip. So it was quite a scary afternoon for both of us but luckily it is not as bad as it immediately appeared. Within 20 minutes or so he was already jumping his 4 wheeler and laughing at the fish (one of his new favorite hobbies).
