Life as a Family

Well, I have a few seconds before Tyler wakes up to eat so I'm taking this time to update everyone again. We are preparing to leave for our first road trip at lunch time today. We are traveling to Chad's parents where they are throwing a shower for Tyler. We are so excited to see everyone, and of course are a little anxious about our first trip and how he will do during the trip and after. Our life is so different now, a lot less sleep, a LOT more busy, but we have never been happier. We attempt to put all other things to the side in the evenings to them to family time. To all my family and friends that are patient with me for not having time for the phone or email, thank you, I love you tons (Angel). There are times when I still can't believe that he is here. I will be washing clothes or bottles and then walk into Tyler's room and see him sleeping; I'm just taken back all over again. There were so many days I would walk into that empty nursery and feel so sad, it's such an amazing feeling to walk in now and see him. Tyler is doing very well, it seems like he is changing every day. He is so alert and loves to watch his light show, the dogs, and the airplanes in his room. He still loves to eat, it's hard to believe that he will only be 4 weeks on Saturday, and has already gotten so big. He seems to really know Chad and I now, looking for our voice or calming his crying if we come in the room to talk to him or pick him up. I will try to update everyone after we return home from our trip; I make no promises on how quickly though.
