Back to work after 105 days

Little Tyler is growing so fast!  he is 3.5 months old:

• already has a stamp in his passport
• partied in Vegas
• wears 6 month old clothing
• has started to grip things and bring them to his mouth
• LOVES his crinkly tail books.  still likes his bears though
• has figured out the Jolly Jumper and LOVES that too
• the hot tub is one of his fave ways to wind down
• rolls around, babbling away

Tyler is at the flower shop in the afternoons with his Mom and Dad.  He is pretty well behaved.  Plays in his playpen or sleeps in the carrier on moms chest while she works.  Life is good for a little boy.

Sean is working at the Distillery as a distiller.  He comes home with all these technical terms and 98 degrees this and that which might as well be Tyler`s babble for all I understand of it. He`s enjoying it.  Hopefully Sean will be able to join Rachel and Tyler at the shop most days.

Rachel finally got out for a ride on Friday one cool evening with Krystal.  It was wonderful to be out and back on a horse again!  We take Tyler camping and he plays outside while Rachel picks raspberries and beans, but its nice to have some time away from babbling boys too.  Especially ones that still like to wake every hour in the night.

Our house and yard (and dogs) are taking a back seat and look like hell this year.  We try, but we can`t quite seem to keep up.  We`ll get there.  The little one gets more independent every day. (already! too bad not at night though).

Vegas

Vegas was hot, 40 degrees! He slept pretty well despite the noise and heat.

Grand Canyon

Such a good traveller!

Arizona

Got away at 5 a.m. Leaving the dogs in the care of grandpa. Tyler slept pretty well the night before 2. He slept so soundly on the first flight we couldn't even wake him feed him during the ascent.

We arrived in Phoenix without any hitches. Jump in ur rental vehicle and headed up to the desert to Sedona. How beautiful!

Grandma devers was right. The desert combined with those tall tower in Red Rock formations is just stunning.

8 weeks and full of life

Here is our little stinker!

6 weeks

Growing like a weed!

11 days in...

Our little man is doing so well. Health nurse thinks we're a 10/10 for how were all adjusting to our new roles as Family members. Ty eats like a little piglet, some days with barely enough time for a burping and diaper change before he wants to glut some more. However, he has slept pretty consistently at night for 3-5 hour intervals. Mom likes that. ;)

Its amazing how seans voice and presence soothe Ty. After being alone with me all day, he's so happy when dad gets home. Ty is holding his head up more and more. He rolled onto his side!? Is that possible?!

He's a very good little boy. There aren't many times when he is inconsolable. Normally when all else fails, another feeding with mom is what is required, but not on that side! Not from that angle! Eeee, oh that's better as he will finally stop Flailing and settle down. ;)
