Happy Birthday Tyler!

We had a small party for Tyler's third birthday this year. We had several of his friends over to play and we all had lunch together and then had fun decorating cupcakes! Tyler was very specific about his vision for his party. He wanted a fireman party and he wanted party hats, and he wanted to draw on his cake. So Tyler helped mommy bake chocolate cupcakes and we put cream cheese frosting on them. We had fireman candles which Tyler blew out a wax fire hat candle on his cupcake. The kids had a great time making their own creations, and eating them of course!

Here's a little birthday interview I did with Tyler the other day.

New Taggie Blankets for Everyone!

So its official, we are home--trying to settle in. The first thing Tyler did was give his sister a big kiss on the cheek. He is very intrigued by her and already wanted to give her one of his stickers from his dr. visit today. He had his two stitches removed and let's just say it was not a fun appointment for him (and today is his birthday too--poor boy!). The stitches went in much more pleasantly then they came out.

Little sister Sabrina brought him home a special gift (a new taggie blanket) and tonight we are going to give him mini-party complete with a present and his very own cupcake.

Grandparents Visit @ Home

Hey all! We had a good time this evening as Grandma, Grandpa and Nona visited us for the first time at home.

Tyler really has been sleeping well for us...he can do almost 5 hours straight at night. He's most definitely going through a growth spirt as he now prefers being fed every 2.5 hours instead of the previous 3 hours. Tough life: eat, poop, sleep. What a perfect man life! :-)

Random Pics

I'm typing with one hand right now so lets just show you what you came here for :-) The last pic is where it all started...

When Tyler is cold...

This kid absolutely cannot stand to be cold. When we change him, you would think we were circumcising him again! One layer of clothing simply does not cut it even with the heat set at 71. Speaking of cold, its 21 degrees here and our little home is quite drafty.

Last night we had about three inches of snow--Tyler wanted to go out and play but we think he might still be a little too young ;-)

Mom and dad are still very tired and are beginning to figure out a schedule. Having a baby requires teamwork and I really think we are doing well. We've been using the tag-team method--she feeds, I nap; I burp--she naps, etc. I've never had to run on catnaps so this is making life fun AND I now understand why God created caffeine!

Other news: we have our first pediatrician visit tomorrow!
