Milestones:

40.4 pounds

46 inches tall

-Loves all things about Kindergarten, but tends to talk too much.  Aunt Carole says that's from her.

-Is much more emotional about life in general.

-Loves to create, build, and conquer American Ninja Warrior courses in our yard or at the park.

-Is obsessed with anything and everything related to Star Wars.

-Talks a lot about family heritage and our grandparents/great-grandparents. 

-Asks questions about life, death, and heaven.

-Still calls M&Ms- N-a-Ms. (and my heart explodes every time!)

-Enjoys doing anything with Daddy, especially if it's quality one-on-one.

-Really likes playing golf, but has a bit perfectionist in him.

-His thinking wheels are always turning unless he's asleep!

-He soaks up every little detail of things and really remembers them.  Even when I don't think he heard a thing!

-He loves to create things.  You can give him tape, paper, crayons, and paper plates, and he will make a playground!  I love watching him do this!

Conversation a few months back at bedtime with Daddy:

D:How did Moses destroy that golden calf?

J: He just tore it down.

D: But how?

J: Well, you remember how God gave him the power to cross the Red Sea?  I guess he could have just asked God to destroy that calf and it would have gone POOF!

D: Is God really that powerful?

J: Well of course, He can do anything.

D: I believe you Dad.  I really do.

J: God can do anything.

D: (inquisitively) Dad, do you think He can surf?

J: (laughing) Well, I'm sure He can son, if He wants to.

D: Well, He's probably too old to surf, but I bet He could...

He is so very active and full of life.  Yes, sometimes by the end of the day I am completely drained, but I wouldn't trade this boy for anything on this earth.  He has a zest and joy for life that is exciting.  He looks at everything as an adventure and he is ready to do it.  I pray that I do not ever squelch that zeal, but that we can teach him to channel it to do many wonderful things.  

Dylan, I love you with my whole heart!  Don't you ever forget it!  I am always on your team!
