Tyler's two front teeth are definitely making their appearance and it is now obvious! I was so wrong before when I thought he was getting a tooth, because now I see the change in behavior. Poor baby is pretty fussy, and especially after 6:15pm, forget it. Put me in the bath, then to bed. Thankfully he hasn't been waking up in the night to complain, but hopefully I am not jinxing myself. I will post pictures when they are here to stay!

This is my little Ty mans favorite thing to do at home. He will do this all day long! As you can tell the music is a pretty cheesy, but he loves it, so it makes me smile :)

Tooth Time...finally!!

I know it sounds crazy to be excited that I felt a tooth coming in this morning, but I feel like Tyler has been teething forever and I am ready to see some results from all of these symptoms. I feel it coming in on the bottom, so we'll have to see how long it takes to come through. Poor baby has the croup and gets his first tooth at one time, should I expect anything less?!!

Happy 10 month B-Day (with a little crud to go along with it :( )

Tyler is 10 months old today! I am so excited for Tyler to be doing so well, and growing perfectly. Things really do get more and more fun everyday and Tyler is such a great joy for us. He now weighs 21.7 lbs and is 29 inches long. Still has no teeth and I am not going to predict when they might be coming, since I have been wrong everytime. Although I do think it will be soon. He is learning more words such as dog, duck, bye-bye, stop, and now waves hello and good-bye to everyone when I prompt him to. He loves to play chase and listen to music. Unfortunatly, he has come down with the croup, his first real illness and it is no fun. He has a horrible cough, and isn't sleeping too well . He has been sleeping in my arms for some naps, and I have been having to rock him to sleep. Poor baby. He is in great spirits despite it all and only whines a bit when he is tired. You can tell by his glassy eyes in the pics below that he isn't feeling well, and the teether for the gum pain adds to the discomfort. I am getting really excited to have his first B-Day party in a few weeks and have started looking for the decorations, all while trying to keep it "reasonably" priced! I can take things overboard a bit, so I am really going to try not to do that, but how hard when it's your first!!

Tyler's Cousin

My sister is having a baby in August and this is her 12 week ultrasound...pretty cool!! We are so excited for them!

Recent happenings

I feel like each and every day Tyler is doing new things that makes me laugh and smile. His recent joys are dancing to any kind of music. He literally runs to the radio after each nap and says "ooo,ooo" for me to turn on the radio. Then he bounces to each beat, super cute. He loves to be chased and is zooming all around the house. We had to do more babyproofing so that we wouldn't be so worried when he got away from us. Here are some recent pictures of my little one :)

Many Feelings

I'm sitting here in Dallas while Tyler naps, thinking about all the memories that I have had in this house. My parents are moving because of a new job for my Dad, back "home" to Pennsylvania. It is so weird that that are moving. Although I have always known that PA was a special place for me and would always be in my life, it is now talking on a whole new meaning. Since my parents are moving back, but not to the same city, it will be interesting going to visit them in PA, but in a whole new place. I don't know how I am going to feel about not having them here in Dallas. It's like I have always known that they are a car ride away. I didn't think that it would bother me to much that they were leaving, being that I have to drive a ways to see them now. But being here, and now having time to myself alone in the house, I'm feeling the feelings come. The feelings of sadness, scared, excitement, wonder, and reflection. I guess I knew I would have to have these feelings come, but I was just thinking that I was handling things really well and looking at the positives about being able to travel back to PA more often and having a place to stay there. But, sure enough, a big change like this has to have the negative feelings too. And they are here now, hmmm....
