Sears Portrait Studios

Mommy had really wanted to take Tyler for studio pictures at 6 months ... but he got sick and then had rash. :( So instead, we just went for 7 3/4 months. Tyler did a great job. Mommy and daddy are proud.

Holding his bottle

We have been trying and trying to get Tyler to hold his own bottle. Look!

Sitting like a big boy

We went to our friend Steve's house last night (Thursday, April 24) for a crab fest dinner. Here is Tyler sitting on the floor.

100th Post!

The title has nothing to do with the post really. Just thought it would be worth noting that I made it to 100! Woohoo!

Here's Tyler playing with a car at my co-worker's desk.

Take your kids to work day

Yesterday was Take your kids to work day and mommy was able to bring Tyler by in the afternoon for a few hours. He spent most of his day being strolled around and meeting mommy's co-worker's all who had fun watching him smile and shove everything and anything into his mouth.

Here are a few pictures of the event. Tyler even got a COOL eBay badge. Mommy will take a picture of it later and add it to the slideshow. Enjoy!

Should be sleeping

It's only 10:30pm, but mommy should be sleeping. It's her turn to take care of Tyler tonight. Mommy and daddy take turns. :) For a while there, he was actually almost sleeping through the night. Waking up around between 4-5am and letting mommy/daddy rock him back to sleep without a bottle. It was great! We thought this was it and that we were home free ... BUT just recently he seems to be in a growth spurt and is eating like crazy! Which unfortunately means ... wanting (probably not needing) a night time feeding. Depending on what time he sleeps and gets his bedtime bottle ... the feeding will range from between 2 - 4am.

It's actually not too bad. For the most part, mommy and daddy are now use to getting less sleep and being tired all day. LOL As much as we try to catch up ... it just never happens.

Anyways ... I tried changing the blog a little. Like the new layout?

Exersaucer again

Now that Tyler is older, he plays more vigorously in the exersaucer.

Visiting Evan

This past weekend we went down to Girloy to visit Evan. Check out the pictures.
Evan was kind enough to let Tyler borrow his Jumperoo. He's a big boy now and no longer needs it.

Action Day

Just so y'all have a better picture ... here's some photo's I took at Tyler's school.

Isn't that table cool? It has seats right in there. :)

Tyler's School Art Work

Tyler's been pretty busy at school lately. During the month of March he was sent home with some art work. Check out his masterpieces!

Practicing sitting

Tyler is getting strong and can almost sit up all by himself. He uses his arms to balance! Mommy is not very fond of her appearance in this video, so please please concentrate on TYLER. :P


Rolling over

Tyler's already rolled over a bunch of times ... usually on accident (i think). Here's the first one caught on camera with a purpose.

He really loves that dinosaur!

Hand foot and mouth

Not sure if any of you noticed, but Tyler appeared to have a slight rash on his forehead and chin. It's sort of visible in his last set of pictures at Happy Hallow. Anyhoo ... apparently there was an outbreak of hand foot and mouth at his daycare and lucky Tyler was one of the ones to get it.

After a quick visit to Dr. O's yet again on Monday, April 7th it was confirmed.
He also got it on his bum, where I think it irritates him the most. We got ointment to put on to keep it from getting infected, but since this is a viral infection we have to let it take its course and just hope for a speedy recovery.

Happy Hallow Park and Zoo

Today Tyler, mommy, and Aunty Wendy went to Happy Hallow Park and Zoo in San Jose. It was a sunny day, but a bit chilly. Tyler rode on his very first ride, the merry go round. He was very interested in the pole and kept staring and hitting it. Mommy is not sure he realized he was going up and down on the horse and around in circles. It doesn't matter though. He seemed to have fun. Tyler also got to ride on a dragon train. Mommy held him and he just stared out and watched the scenery as we rode around the park.

After checking out the park side, we all headed over to the zoo, where Tyler decided to take a nap. Mommy and Aunty Wendy still checked out the animals and pushed Tyler around. It was too bad he was sleeping, there was a mini petting zoo where he could have fed the animals. Oh well ... maybe next time.

Check out the pictures Aunty Wendy took.

Future MVP

Tyler's First Thanksgiving

A growing boy

Tyler is growing and getting big so fast. Trying to remember him a couple of months ago is actually a blur. Mommy is glad she's been taking A LOT of pictures and recording his major milestone events on a calendar. She can't say daddy has helped much in this department, but he has become very good at bathing T and putting him to sleep. I am not sure what it is, but some days Tyler seems to prefer daddy to put him to sleep. Mommy tries her best to copy daddy's technique, but she can't hold him in the exact same comfortable way. It's okay though ... mommy gets to feed him all the time and that is usually fun. He is a very BIG eater. He loves his solid foods and almost always snubs his bottle. Mommy has to give him his milk in rice cereal and oatmeal.

He is a lot more alert now and knows how to get attention when he wants it. He has his normal babbling sounds when he's playing, but it is very obvious when he is upset. It's not really a cry, but its definitely a come and look at me noise. We've bought him several new toys that he has been enjoying playing with. One of his favorites seem to be a piano. He loves to hit things and the piano plays music and lights up when he hits it. He smiles and babbles when he plays. It is so cute! He's growing up so fast. Just like how everyone said he would. Mommy and daddy are so proud.

Pictures Tyler 5 months

A little late ... but here are some more pictures of Tyler when he was 5 months.

Wonderful Day!

This may be silly to post, but I couldn't help it. Everyday at daycare Tyler gets a paper filled out on how he did. For the most part we have gotten ... Tyler had an "okay" day or Tyler had a pretty good/good day.

Monday, March 31st was a surprise to both mommy and daddy when his paper read "Tyler had a WONDERFUL day!" It was awesome. We were so proud of him. He seems to like daycare and we are glad that he has fun there. Just thought I'd share this. :D
