The Cutest Baby in the World!!!

Okay, so maybe we're a little biased, but we think Tyler is absolutely the cutest baby in the whole world! He is so much fun and we love him more than anything. He's such a good baby now too. I never thought I would say that, but he's almost always happy. There's really no middle ground - either he's really happy or really mad.

This is probably going to be a long post becasue a lot has happened in the past few weeks. Since my last post Tyler got a cold that resulted in him getting his first ear infection. It was so sad. It was awful knowing that he was in that much pain and there was nothing we could do about it. He went on his first dose of amoxicillin but unfortunately that did not get rid of it so he had to go on a second stronger antibiotic. Thankfully after four days of that his ear was back to normal. Unfortunately he was still screaming and tugging on his ears sometimes. The doctor said it is probably teething. SCARY!!! I'm definitely not ready for that yet. I posponed his four month appointment because I didn't want him to get his shots while he was still fighting an infection. So today was the day. He weighed in at an amazing 17 pounds exactly and is 26 inches long. He falls in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. What a big boy. He's going to pass me up before I know it.

These days I'm in the process of trying to get little Tyler on a schedule. I just want to know when he's going to eat or sleep ahead of time so that way I can make plans instead of just waiting for him to wake up or want to eat. He's getting to be pretty good at sleeping now. We usually wake up somewhere around 6:00 or 6:30. Today I actually woke up before him. That was a little weird for me to not wake up to a screaming baby in the other room. I was able to make my bed and eat my cereal by myself. Then I went to go wake him up at 7:00 and there he was wide awake with a huge smile on his face.

Sorry for so much writing...now on to the more exciting things - pictures!!

Tyler was having a lot of fun talking to his monkey.

This was a new toy we brought out for Tyler. He wasn't quite sure what to think about it the first couple of days, but now he likes it a little more.

Isn't that the cutest little face you've ever seen? And look at those BLUE eyes.

I couldn't resist. Church wore him out!

Mommy, what are you looking at? They're just rolls!

Can you believe this hat said size Newborn?

We finally got to put Tyler in the jumper...I don't think he quite knows what to do in it. He really does have arms in there somewhere!

It was way too hot to wear clothes that day!

Sorry Tyler, that's not a phone.

Need I say more? I think the outfit speaks enough for itself.

Last Saturday it was really cool outside and we actually had some rain showers so Tyler got all bundled up for the first time. I think he liked it. I know I did...we've had enough heat lately. I'm ready for some cooler weather.

This is what Tyler did during conference on Sunday. I think he got a lot out of it. :)

I love to see this huge smile! Lately it seems to be pretty slobbery.

These pictures show how big Tyler is and how small he is too.

What a cute hat!

I had to take this picture! Tyler loves his pacifier and he always puts his thumb inside it and this morning his mouth opened while he was sleeping and it fell out and resulted in this cute sight!

I know this seemed like a lot of pictures, but it really wasn't compared to the couple hundred that I had to chose from since my last post!
