This morning Marshall and I were asked to babysit our friend Dino's baby boy Dylan while Dino and Dylan's mom went to the stuntmen auditions for the upcoming movie Iron Man. When we arrived Dylan was still sleeping so I wasn't sure how he would react when he awoke to find us there and mom and dad gone. He quite possibly is the happiest baby ever. Not only was he all smiles when he awoke, he did nothing but smile and laugh the whole time we were with him. It was a joy to hang out with him. We had hoped that Nolan and Dylan could have been buds, but unfortunately that wasn't meant to be. Marshall still didn't hold him, but played with him plenty and enjoyed watching Dylan's amazement at the fan, his hands, the iPhone - basically anything you put in front of him. It was a bittersweet day. While we enjoyed spending time with Dylan, it made us long to be spending that time with our own son and was a reminder that we will never have moments like this with Nolan. Hopefully, we will one day have these moments with another child of our own, but only time and God will tell that. When we finally arrived home after lunch with Dino, Haley, Dylan and some of their stunt friends, Marsh was wiped out. I guess he didn't realize how much a baby really does take out of you.
