4 month check up

We had a good trip to Kentucky, he slept the whole way back. I guess he was worn out from never being put down. He had his 4 month doctor visit on Tuesday, he is a very healthy boy. He now weighs 17 pounds 3 ounces and he is 26.5 inches long, he is in the 90% range of weight and in the 95% range on length. I initially thought he'd be a linebacker, be his size may push him to play offensive line. Becca said he was wonderful at the doctor's office. She said he was just laughing, smiling, and talking trying to show off for all the nurses. He was great, right up to the point where they treated his little legs like a pinata! He was not happy about that at all! Becca said his bottom lip started pushing out pretty far and they really hurt his feelings. He was fussy the remainder of the day and most of the day yesterday. I took him to church by myself last night while he was still a little fussy. . . probably not the best decision. Between his talking and fussing, I spent most of the night in the back.

Busy week

It has been a busy week. We started feeding him cereal on Saturday. He didn't like it at all the first couple of times. He mostly cried and gagged, not understanding how to swallow. This morning we fed him in front of Granny and Grandad and he was opening his mouth, leaning toward the spoon. What a difference a few days makes; he seems to be liking it a lot more now. Wednesday was a big day for us, we had Tyler's final court hearing! It was actually anticlimactic. It was not out in the middle of court, we went back into the judges chambers and did it all back there. We were in and out pretty quick, but we were able to take a couple of pictures with the judge. Becca was proud of me for behaving the entire time! I didn't even ask to bang the gavel!! We are glad the process is finally through, it's a big load off.
Last night we travelled to Kentucky. We didn't leave our house until late, so Ty slept most of the way. Granny and Grandad waited up to see us, oh wait, I mean him. They hadn't seen him for a month, which is the longest they had been without seeing him. They have already taken him on a tour of the farm this morning. He got to go see the cows, the horse, and even got to set on Grandad's tractor! This is right up his alley, because he loves being outside. They also couldn't believe how much he has grown. I went and bought him a couple of outfits the other day and had to buy 9 month. He just turned 4 months on Tuesday!!
A couple of nights this week Becca has had to work because he's required more attention during the day. We've had some good daddy time!! He's so much fun to take out, and he is so easy! We went out Monday and Tuesday nights. One night we went the the grocery store and then got some gas and went driving around. The other night we went to Sams and Krispy Kreme. I just put him in the Baby Bjorn (baby backpack on front) and go. He loves it! We walked down every isle and he would just look at everything. He is very easily entertained. The women are all over him! I've had to have a couple of talks with him about that. He draws them in by waiting until they look at him, then he starts smiling really big. We may be in trouble in several years!

Tyler's growing too fast

It seems that each night we put Tyler to bed one size and he wakes up a little bigger each morning. He is getting so big so quickly. Tyler has had a few new play mates born over the last few weeks, it's so hard to believe when we go to see them that Tyler was once that small. He remains a very happy baby, even through the teething. Last weekend we went to see Eli, the first of the future "best buds" born. Then last night we successfully, without the nurses kicking us out with a young child, took him up to see the most recent born Lawson. He has become quite a show off with the smiles and laughs, it seems his most favorite time to perform is in church. He enjoys to see just how distracted he can make people around him. He had visitors this weekend, my sister and my niece came up. We had so much fun shopping for clothes for him and his aunt Angel found him his first July 4th outfit. He is so active lately and loves his excersaucer. He has turned over both ways now and scoots himself in circles on the floor. So far we are keeping strong with sleeping from 10:00pm to 6:00 am and we are hoping that we continue. He has developed a cute little habit, he sings/talks himself to sleep. I know when he is really tired because he will begin to talk over and over until he just falls alseep. That has also become his habit when he wakes in the morning. He doesn't cry when he wakes up he just lays in his crib and talks/sings. Tonight we had to get on camera Peighton making him laugh out loud over and over by blowing on his tummy. It was too precious. Chad and I are so blessed.
