2005 is winding down....

It is really hard to believe how much our lives have changed this year. I remember reading everyday what stage of growth the baby was in...I remember dreaming of what he would be like...what would he look like? Would he be healthy? We waited and waited, and dreamed and prayed a lot. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this beautiful gift we have been given. The moment he came into the world was a feeling that no words can describe...and here we are, Tyler's first Christmas. It is amazing watching him grow and change everyday. Being a witness to all his "firsts" first smile, first laugh, first teeth, sitting up, getting ready to crawl, standing....all in 6 months. What an incredible little person. I went from wanting time to speed up so that I could meet my little sweetheart, to wanting it to slow down because he is growing so fast. What a beautiful life he is. When he smiles, you seem to forget all your troubles and worries. So as 2005 ends, I feel lucky and blessed. I pray that Tyler's future is everything and more that he could ever dream. I want to do everything in my power to give him everything he needs to be a successful, happy and healthy person. I want him to be confident. I want him to feel comfort and I want him to always know how loved he is.

Love,
Tyler's Mommy

Happy New Year!

Tyler's FIRST Christmas, and other stuff...

Merry Christmas!!! Tyler had a WONDERFUL 1st Christmas. Christmas Eve we exchanged presents with his Grandma, Poppy, Auntie Alexis, Uncle Jordo and Aunt Megs...They spoiled our little man. Then we went to Uncle Dick's and Aunt Adrienne's and Ty met his cousins. Everyone was sick there, so we didn't stay long. When we got home, Tyler's daddy read him "The Night Before Christmas" and Tyler was really into it. He helped his Daddy turn the pages and even tried to read a bit himself. Then it was time for our little sleepyhead to go to bed so Santa could come visit. Tyler had been a very good boy! Then, Christmas morning, Tyler woke up with the cutest smiles...and really big smiles when we would ask him if Santa came. We went downstairs and there was lots of toys under the tree. Ty was amazed by everything. He sat and played and played for the longest time. He loved everything. It is so cute to watch him concentrate and try to figure things out. We then got ready and went to Grandma and Poppy's and everyone came over. Tyler especially liked seeing his Pop-Pop Minnicks. Tyler was loving all the hugs and kisses he got from all his Aunts, Uncles and everyone.

Tyler is growing so fast, it is unreal! Our little cutie is sporting 12 month old clothes! He is gonna be tall! He is getting ready to start crawling. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. So cute. He has been sitting up for a long time, and also rolling all over the place. He also likes to stand on his own holding on to something. I can't believe how fast he is growing up!!!!

Look for more pictures coming soon!!!

Love to all! Happy New Year!!!

"Want some peaches?"

So Tyler has disovered that certain words are funny. Yesterday I was feeding him peaches and I said "You want some peaches" in my silly Mommy voice, he started cracking up, and every time I said it to him, he would scream with laughter...full on belly laughs. I LOVE IT! It's like music to my ears. There is nothing like it in the world. He is really amazing.

Well, he is gonna be 6 months old tomorrow!!! ALREADY! I blinked, and he is half a year old. We had his Dr. appt today. He met the new Dr. , Dr. Aguto retired :( He was my pedi too... The new Doc is a lady and she was real sweet. She has a 2 month old! Tyler was a trooper. He got his shots and he didn't like it that much. He is 27 1/2 inches and 20 pounds!!! I think he is gonna be tall like Tim's family. His nephews tower over Tim (.~)

Tyler is doing really well with his baby food. So far so good. We have been giving him practice with his sippy cup. He is so funny. He holds it and tried to figure out how to get it into his mouth. It is so cool to watch him learn things on his own.

I will try to check in more often, Tyler keeps me busy as you can imagine...heehee

Love to all!

Tyler has his SECOND tooth

Yeeeup, Ty has another tooth coming in next to the other one that is almost completely in. They are on the bottom, right in the front. Poor little guy, I bet they bug him, but he is a trooper and doesn't cry or complain or anything and has been sleeping through the night. Next Tuesday he has his 6 month appointment and at that time I think we begin feeding him stuff besides fruit. We can't wait.

The tree is up, the house is decorated and newly painted and we are gonna do a little Christmas shopping for our baby boy next week. We'll post picts of Christmas in a couple weeks (obviously.) I don't want to post what is on his Christmas list here because he might read it. ;)

Daddy T OUT and ready for the weekend...
