Happy 1/2 Year to my Dylanbug!

6 months old <3

I cannot believe 6 months has already passed. Who would have thought that lively cute face you see before you was in the NICU for 5 weeks. Dylan was born on February 25th of this year by emergency c-section after I went into the hospital to check on him since I had not felt him move all day. If I would have went to bed that night, the smile you see before you would have never graced this earth. My placenta had detached from the womb and he was being asphyxiated.  He was delivered 3 1/2 weeks early, and was hooked up to a cooling bed, along with a nitric oxide/oxygen therapy to slow down his functions and help him breath, putting him into a state of suspension to minimize any brain damage.  5 weeks later, we were able to take him home, and he's been one of the biggest joys in his dad's and my life.

He's eating new foods, trying to crawl and learning to sit up.  He can babble nonstop, has the most contagious belly laugh and has the best facial expressions.  Plus, I just find him to be handsome as all get out!  He's truly made great strides over the weeks and months.

Happy 1/2 Year Birthday Buggy!!!
