When Dylan was in my tummy, he got the hiccups at least once a day (many times just as I lay down to try and go to sleep). So far he has only gotten them a couple of times since his birth, and I captured some snippets of his latest hiccups on video.

Today I have finally mustered up enough energy to finish Dylan’s birth announcement. I am pretty proud of my finished version, and I hope you all like it. I am posting it here for the masses and will have a few printed and mailed to family… hopefully the printed version will look cute as well.
