Dylan seems to be at a particularly binary stage of babydom: either he’s being ridiculously, almost putridly adorable, or he’s a rotten little hell-beast who should be reclassified as a WMD and parachuted into war zones.
One state begs more camera documentation than the other, obviously:

I realize I’m not capable of being entirely objective over here, but I’m pretty sure he’s cute.

He recently discovered his feet, and I can tell he wants so very, very badly to stuff them in his mouth.

Tonight out of nowhere Riley decided he wanted to feed Dylan and although the execution was clumsy, the little scene was so sweet I nearly leapt from my chair in order to delete this entry, because what madness had I been talking about, everything is so miraculous and amazing and heart-shatteringly beautiful; then Riley had a tantrum and Dylan yelled all during the Obama speech and I was all, oh yeah. But still: SO SWEET.

The reddish hair is killing me lately, ditto the flirty expressions.
Lastly,

Ah, can someone hand me the remote? Please?

You are not just biased. Your kid is absolutely adorable. The hair, those eyes (!!), that little smile, and his skin is to die for. He’s a handsome little devil. :)
Both of your boys are too cute for words! You can almost see Dylan’s little boy face in these pics :) I love the red hair . . . my fiance is a redhead and i’m a blonde so if i squint at Dylan’s pics I can allllmoooossstttt guess what ours might look like. We’ll be very lucky if they’re that cute! :D
Seriously Linda, Dylan could win awards for fucking cuteness. I look at him and I smile every time. And Riley feeding Dylan could kill me with all that sweet gooshiness.
My 2nd boy is 7 weeks old today. Seeing your photos and reading your posts of handling two give me hope that things will get “easier”.
How do you handle the spitting up? My babe is a faucet. I can’t even put him down in the bouncer without kicking up and ounce or two.
Digging the hair. I make baldies over here.
I’m way too lazy to hand you the remote.
No, but I would like you to hand me that cat please.
I am not going near that remote. I think that cat put the remote outside the cave on purpose.
Your kids are just as cute as mine! :)
Are you crazy? I’m not stupid you know. I know that if I put my hand anywhere near that remote that the devil cat will remove it and you will just start rolling on the floor all Bwahhhahhhahha and I’ll be all like bleeding all over the place and you’ll just be wiping your own tears of joy away and say “Gotcha”
The red hair! It kills me! My husband is a redhead, and it’s a sort of hit-or-miss thing, you know. I want so desperately to have a baby with red hair but it’s usually a shock you, didn’t expect this, where did it come from (oh yea! that distant relative!) kind of thing. But lord he’s beautiful, isn’t he?
I’m blinded by the cuteness. And SO stinkin’ sweet that Riley was feeding Dylan.
Yes, motherhood is a ride. Some days you’re the bug, some days you’re the windshield. I had a few bug moments myself today. Ugh. Tiredness.
That is so sweet! I now want to go and make baby #2 hahaha!
Kidding aside, your kids are lovely. The picture that you’ve captured there is priceless!
Ahhh–I think I am OD-ing on cuteness. In a good way. And if you get a shot of the feet-stuffing-in-mouth I will pay you a million dollars. How great is it when babies nom on their own feet?!
“reddish”? Dylan looks like a bonafide pink-cheeked, blue-eyed redhead to me! He’s darling!
Also, did JB set that trap for you? or has Cat become more devious?
I love his flirty expressions; I can tell now you’re going to be dealing with MANY girlfriends with both Dylan + Riley. Handsome men!
Here is Dylan’s MAIN squeeze (YOUR future DIL):

Dylan should stay a baby forever just to keep the human race supplied with cuteness. I realize this would be an inconvenience for his parents, but perhaps we could compensate you somehow.
P.S. If I could order a kid, I’d order that model.
pics – tooooo cute. Re. Riley feeding Dylan, I say why the heck not get even more use out of him and teach him how to change his nappies etc?
Trina, hadn’t we decided Cat’s couch creations were ‘Lairs’ not ‘caves’, I’m sure we had pie charts and everything…..
Dylan…..is a Beautiful Baby!!!
Your kids are so cute Linda! I love the picture of Riley feeding Dylan.
Oh ya, and the remote, that’s a TOTAL setup!
It’s a trap!
GREAT photos. He’s cute for sure. It’s not just you. Love the cat hiding. Ha.
I’m pretty sure babies are so darn smooshy so we don’t throw them out with the garbage when they’re having a hell beast moment. Both of your little guys are absolutley ADORABLE! P.S. Also LOVE the reddish hair. I think you have two heartbreakers on your hands!
Sooooo cute! I want to give him Eskimo kisses and smooch is chubby thighs!
VERY VERY CUTE! I love the red hair… We were so surprised our son’s hair was this color and MORE surprised when it has mostly stayed that color (a little lighter but not the blond we thought it would eventually become!)
And CAT and the remote… that wild and crazy cat!
Totally objective. He is truly cute.
Cuteness!
And yes, lair. There were pie charts.
You are right — they are absolutely adorable! Hang on to those moments; they pass in a blink of an eye. (Yes, I know you’re rolling your eyes at me, but mark my words…)
Carol
Clearly objective. So cute I could eat him with a spoon.
Your only option is to buy a new remote. Sorry.
And may I just say your children are SO ADORABLE! It’s almost too much to bear.
Bah! Cuteness is too painful! Don’t you just love the ups and downs of parenthood. I get a bit motion sick from time to time but heh, what a ride.
H*I*V*E!
It’s a CAT HIVE!
Oh my gosh the cuteness is unbearable! He is sooo adorable. He’s going to be quite the charmer. When he’s not doing his best imitation of a WMD, of course :)
Oh, he is so very cute- and he (all babies)is genetically predisposed to be cute so that we don’t leave them out in the woods during their hell-beast phases. I thank God everyday that my toddler has ruddy, chubby cheeks and a dimple, b/c otherwise… wolf bait…
Great looking kids. My toddler crush on Riley abides, and I now have a baby crush on Dylan.
Is it a bad thing that I could stare at your kids almost as long as I could stare at mine. Dylan is beautiful, complete perfectness! Kudos to you and JB, you hit the nail on the head…Twice…Hmm-Hmm!
You’re pretty sure he’s cute? I’m here to tell you he’s freakin’ adorable. At Riley feeding Dylan? That’s so sweet I’m going into a diabetic coma here. The only sweetness I get lately is when The Captain farts on Jr’s head and Jr laughs instead of beating the crap out of him.
IT’S A TRAP!
Yeah, you’re biased…
But it doesn’t make him any less adorable!!! What a handsome little guy!!
Look out laaaaaaadies!
The pie chart showed the winning vote was Trap with Hive coming in close behind and Lair and Cave tied for last place.
Cat Trap. I like it.
Riley looks like you, Sundry and I think Dylan is looking more like JB. They are both extremely cute kids!
Totally unrelated, I’m going to hijack this comments section. There was a post about who is your fave movie star aka who is hotter than damn it…. well, John Cusack came up on the comments multiple time. He’s got a myspace to promote his new movie War Inc which is showing only in NY & LA last weekend & this. They need enough support to get it out in more cities next. If you’re in NY or LA…go see it. Here’s the URL: http://www.myspace.com/johncusack
Mwah ha ha…back to your regularly scheduled blogging.
I knew that baby’s hair was red. But Dylan’s eyes seem to be tending towards greyish-blue. And doesn’t Riley look like the consumate Seattle kid in that plaid shirt? Bring on Nirvana. Oh, the angst.
allow me to interject once more (just once):
addtl locations showing War Inc JUNE 13: BOSTON, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO, BERKELEY, SEATLLE
Go! Watch!
So so cute. Not cute is not being able to load your site for hours after getting the email notice. My browser says it can’t find the server sundrymourning.com — anyone else having similar issues?
Is it me, or does he have extremely long, finger-like toes? He is pretty stinking cute…especially since he’s not screaming on the changing table like mine just did.
Damn, they are CUTE. Could you please post proof of Dylan being a hell-beast so I can visit your site without ovulating? Thanks. :)
He really is cute. Really.
Oh, and? Leave the remote… it’s a lost cause!
Dylan’s feet still look pretty massive. That kid is not going to have ANY problems getting laid in about 17 years..:-P
He is so cute!!! I love the blue eyes, and I am partial to redheads having 2 myself.
Jeez, they are getting cuter and cuter every day!!!
TRAP!
He’s extremely cute. Although I might be slightly biased since my little boy is also a blue-eyed redhead. There’s something about that combination.
Take it from someone who has generally felt that only her own kids were heart-rendingly adorable. Dylan and Riley are just show-stoppers! They almost make me want another little baby boy (almost).
My “baby” is 11 today. And although he is still adorable, he’s a baby no longer……..sniff.
Dylan is identical to JB! Wow!! And that red hair is soooo adorable.
Definitely a future heartbreaker!!
And that is absolutely a TRAP!!!!!
Dylan=Mini J.B. :)
I am living your life, except my kitchen needs remodeled and I am not near as cute as you, my children, are as cute as yours, sorry I would like to be objective! ;) Hee.
Mine are 2 1/2 and 11 months. We experience demonic moments quite frequently from the wee one and the 2 yr old. Well, he’s two, nuff said.
Did I mention these are my grandchildren? That my son, a single Dad is in the Marines and won’t be home until October? I know that you don’t get peace for another 18 years but right now, October is like, 20 years away. Especially after the past week! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Dylan totally has the same redness my oldest had at that age and it went away and now is sandy blonde.
I’ve said so before, but I kind of shun babies in life, so all this mommy blogging you do, though often boring as hell when not infused with lots of cussing (just kidding, you rock) is crazy educational. Todays lesson: babies have camouflage nipples. I realize that sounds incredibly pervy, and I apologize, but I just always assumed that little people popped out of their screaming mothers with nipple colored nipples. Go fig. I guess that comes later.
Also, why is your couch so clean and stain free? I’ve been house sitting for my brother ans sister in law for the last (eternity) five days, and not a single day has gone by that one of the animals hasn’t pissed, shat, or vomited all over the carpet … at least once. How can you have a dog, a cat, and two little poop factories running around and have such a clean damn couch. Clearly I am not cut out to be a mother, or own a couch.
A poorly made trap – I suspect Cat created this one alone, with no help from JB. Couldn’t Cat feel the breeze on his/her tail?!
You know what…
I remembered your videos today while i was at home (at work i can not load them) I watched them, and boy is it strange to hear you guys! I keep imagining everyone with a kiwi accent (being a New Zealander myself)and it is awesome to actually your accent, and how different it is to how everybody speaks here
Dylan = adorable. I just want to smooch his chubby little cheeks. And those eyes, yipe, LOOKOUT world.
hey, I’m totally objective here, and he is superbly adorable!
