I love being these boys' mother. Tyler at almost five months is such a social little baby. He is happiest when he is upright and being held by mom or dad. The next best thing to being held is to stand in his exersaucer or lay on the floor with as little clothing as possible. Too bad for him- I'm too attached to my carpet to let him go without his diaper too. He's not a great napper or sleeper, but he gives us just enough so we stay somewhat sane. He hated rice cereal the one time we tried, but loved my strawberry sprinkle doughnut. (Don't worry, he only got to gum a little section.) He's can roll from his tummy to his back and vi ca versa and is getting close to sitting up. He loves his reflection in the mirror and will actually squeal with delight when he makes eye contact with himself. He loves the bath and will kick his little legs, probably for hours, or until we decide we're too wet to let him keep going. He's a pretty particular guy and knows what he wants. Too bad for him we don't understand everything he tries to tell us. Andrew, Austin and I continue to fall more in love with Tyler every day and can't imagine life without him.

Blessed!
We finally blessed Tyler a couple of weeks ago. We joke that he was half grown by the time we actually got around to it, but it was wonderful. We had both sets of parents come out for the event and we loved it! (Austin especially.)
He started to get mad during the blessing and began to holler about half way through. As soon as they were finished and sat him up vertically he was happy. He's a particular little boy and knows what he wants. I keep telling myself I'll love that about him someday. Maybe it is just wishful thinking.
Now everyone has gone home and we REALLY miss everyone. Austin asks me on a daily basis for both sets of grandparents. Usually he'll go put on his Shoes and socks bids me goodbye and says he's on his way to the airport to visit Grandma. Then he tries to sucker me into opening the garage door for him. I don't have the heart to tell him he can't walk to the airport.
Thanks again for coming! We love you all!

Christmas Cuties
We had our very first Christmas on our own this year. I have a renewed appreciation for mothers and for all of the planning that goes into Christmas. I think all four of us had a magical day! Tyler definitely watched lots of sugar plums behind his eyelids.
