What's Happening?

Here are some big events in the past five days or so of life...

1. Tyler sleeps through an ENTIRE night. A great performance, 7pm to 6:30am. What a stud! So he might be crawling and eating and growing like a 9 month old, but he is notorious for sleeping like a newborn...meaning not very well. He was typically waking 3+ times a night, even through Christmas. Just in the last week or so he went to just one time. Then Friday night, my big boy finally slept through an entire night!

2. Tyler wakes up every 2 hours...nice follow up huh? Just last night Ty went back to waking up ALL THE TIME! Who knows what is going on?!? And, just for credentials, yes, I have tried to let him cry it out. Apparently my little guy forgot to get an off switch. He cried for 6 hours without falling asleep...so we're not going to try that again for a few weeks at least.

3. Finding the little "fort" between the love seat and end table. He crawls back into this little spot and gets stuck but loves his independence.

4. Discovering trash is fun! In all of his crawling adventures Ty also discovered an empty juice bottle, milk carton, and cardboard boxes are a blast to play with. Other things around the house are fun too...like door stops. Who knew?!

5. First big boy barf. Not fun! Ryan was feeding Tyler his dinner while I finished mine. Tyler apparently doesn't have an off switch for eating either. He had a piece of toast, some baby cereal, and I think some baby fruit...anyhow, he gagged himself or just plain over-ate and then it all came right back up. It's scary to see a baby puke. Not spit-up, but puke. He ended up being just fine- and Ryan is over the traumatic experience too, but we hope to not go through this one again anytime soon.

6. Other fun events- playing with dad a lot! Ryan had a three day weekend from work for MLK day. We had a blast having him home for three days in a row. We hardly ever get to have him home, let alone for that long. Tyler loved to give his daddy smiles and laughs. We also got to play with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Ryan for Sunday Dinner. It was fun to see Tyler explore someone else's home and get comfy in new surroundings. He's definitely growing up!
