Hangin' Out
Dolan's first food was beef jerky. He loves the stuff. The other day he was getting grumpy so I gave him some beef jerky and he was happy for a long time... chewing and sucking on it.

LaFayette Family Reunion Photos
Missing Daddy
Today Kevin left for Ottawa and we are already missing him :(
He will be back late Friday so we will try to keep busy without Daddy around. Right now Dolan is eating some beef jerky on my lap so I can post this entry.
This photo was taken on Saturday at the LaFayette Family Reunion. If Dolan is patient I might even be able to post more photos from the event.
Don't they look like natural farm boys???

Photos
Dolan is feeling better today!!! Not 100% better but doing a lot better.
Last week we had a photo shoot with Kevin Dyck, a local photographer in Saskatoon. Dolan and I met him at Homestead Ice Cream and then we met Kevin at the Ag building to take family photos. Kevin posted a few samples on his blog:

The photos look amazing and I can't wait to get the CD to print them out. I am going to have a hard time choosing which ones to enlarge.

Last Week
Thursday...
And Friday...
Last Thursday Dolan sat on the grass for the first time. It was hard and dusty and he didn't enjoy it very much. But, the next day, Friday, we had a blizzard in Saskatoon. The grass was covered with snow. Can you believe that these photos were taken a day apart? If you are from Sasaktchewan you can believe it!!!
Right now (Wednesday afternoon) it is raining. There is no sign of any snow but it is cold and wet. Welcome to Saskatchewan!

Sick Baby
We have been at home with a sick baby since Sunday at 6:00 A.M. The poor guy has a virus and is vomiting :( He seems to be getting better and then he vomits again. Right now he is sleeping in my arms. The doctor at the emergency room said that there is alot of this going around. It usually last 3-5 days but if it lasts a week to come back. Hopefully he gets better soon.

Big Boy at 7 1/2 months
Look at how he is growing!!! He is crawling and exploring like crazy. Tonight Kevin put him on his ride/push toy and he stayed on! He is not quite ready to walk by himself but that will come before I know it...
Happy and drooling.
Checking out under the hood.
Still need help from Daddy but it is a fun activity that can do together.

Exploring
Now that Dolan can crawl, he can find all kinds of new fun things the see and do. He can crawl over to the DVD's, pull them out and then chew on them. Ah... what fun babies can have! I just love the fact that Dolan chose the DVD that highlights the story of his family history. Dolan's ancestors were some of the first black settlers in Saskatchewan. Dolan's Great Uncle is featured on the DVD. You can read about the LaFayette's settling in Saskatchewan in the Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan at the following link:

Dog Walk
Last Sunday we had beautiful weather. We bundled up Dolan and packed up the dogs and headed for the dog park so Dolan could go for his first sled ride. Well... by the time we got Dolan to the park he was fast asleep :) I decided that Dolan should still have the experience (even though he was asleep) so I put him in the sled. As soon as he was in the sled he started to cry so needless to say it was a short sled ride! Instead he went into the Baby Trekker and enjoyed the walk sleeping while daddy carried him.
On the way home we stopped at Tim Horton's and went through the drive through. The dogs enjoyed the stop because they received a Tims bit from the cashier.

Saskatoon Sun
If you live in Saskatoon make sure you read the Saskatoon Sun. My dad's photo is on the cover and there is a very large photo on page 32. On Sunday my parents are leaving for Dauphin, Manitoba because my dad is representing Saskatchewan in Legion curling.
GOOD LUCK Dad, Rick, Darren and Andrew!!!!

Exersaucer
Dolan is a baby of motion. He is 6 months and wants to go, go, go. He loves his jolly jumper and exersaucer. Or as Crispi would say, "Ring of Neglect". He is not crawling yet but is moving around the room. He can use his arms to move his body in a sideways motion. He cannot move forward. He loves laying on his tummy. Everytime I put him on his back he rolls over onto his tummy.
