New things every day

Well, to begin I must rewind about 2 1/2 weeks ago. My parents were able to come and stay for a week and spend time with Tyler, my father had not seen him since he was 2 weeks old. We made a trip over to my brother's house for my nephew's high school graduation and to visit with friends that I had not seen in quite a long time. Faye, my sister-in-law, threw a party for Josh's graduation and was sweet to add a cake for Tyler. We had a great weekend and it was so nice to see everyone and introduce them to our son. My niece, Elisabeth, came back with us before returning home with my parents. She had the best time helping to take care of Tyler, I think she is also enjoying not being the youngest grandchild anymore. The day that my parents left to return home my oldest nephew(actually a twin) and his wife came for memorial day weekend. This was their first chance to see Tyler. We had a wonderful weekend just getting to hang out with them. They were both so cute helping to feed, change, and care for Tyler. They were able to stay long enough to go to a BBQ at a friends house with us on Monday before heading back to Florida. Over the past several weeks Tyler has begun to do so many new things. He watches his feet in his bath, watches his hands and of course finds his mouth. He is now hitting his toy on his car seat, laughing and talking,rolling over, and now he is beginning to get his first two teeth. Last weekend we made it up to Kentucky to see good friends from college and Chad's family. On Saturday we spent some time with my best friend Lisa. She had lunch made for us and invited her parents and Josh, a good friend of ours, over to see Tyler. After that we left to go over to a graduation party held at Chad's cousin's cafe. Tyler was able to meet almost all of his 2nd cousins for the first time. Haley was gracious enough to share her party with Tyler who was stealing the show by sitting in the middle of everyone laughing, talking, and basically being a doll. Granny was so proud she couldn't stop smiling. On Sunday we were able to make it to the congregation that Chad and I went to while dating, also the church that my other nephew (the other twin) attends while in college. We had the best time showing Tyler off to all of our friends that we haven't seen in so long. After meeting Matt and Renee (more friends from college) for lunch we headed back home. It was a busy weekend but so much fun. This past week Chad and I made the big decision to go out to a movie and let Uncle Jared and Aunt Jessica watch Tyler. They have been anxious to babysit for a while now. Being the first time we have left him we checked our phones frequently but it was kind of nice to get out. Chad's mom is now here and she is going to be able to spend a whole week with us. She is so excited to be able to have Tyler all to herself. There are so many new pictures to update we hope to get them on before too much longer. We have also taken pictures of a friend of ours who came out this morning to paint Tyler's name on the wall behind the plane, it is so adoreable and she did it all free handed (amazing) I know that was a lot for one blog, hopefully I can update more frequently from now on.
