Tyler is a whopping 6 months today and as we take our first nap of the day I am a little overwhelmed with emotion. Maybe it is do to lack of sleep but either way here goes........
My life has changed so much over the last 4 years and even more over the last 6 months. People say I smile all the time and continue to glow. Personally I have never been happier. I have always had a great family, but I am so lucky to fine my lifelong partner and get married. Some people never do and I am grateful to be blessed. Not only did Jerry come into my life but Matt came too. Matt and I also have a special bond. I told him I am not your mom nor do I try but I am your family. I truly do love and care for him the way families do and would anything to help him succeed in life.
Then comes Tyler.........I remember the day Dr. Young said we were going to have him. Three weeks early. My Valentine baby in January, but with him came tons of love. During my pregnancy I just kept on saying I hope I can do this, I hope I am ready, I hope I will a be a good mom and be able to provide everything like my parents did. The day I went into labor I freaked out not only with joy, but my nerves got me since no one was around. This was not like I imagined or thought. I was in labor without Jerry, my mom or dad. NO NO NO, but then Matt was there . Matt calmed me down and reassured me that it all would be O.K.. When they announced it was a boy, my first words were "He has hair", as stupid as this sounds now, I always wanted a baby with hair. Over the last couple months there have been challenges but I look at Tyler to today and wonder how I survived without him. He is my pride and joy. I long to be with him every second of the day. I also think, will I ever have this moment again? No and yes. No in the since he will only be this small once, but yes because I will never forget what it is like to hold him, have him hold my hand with that tiny finger, and watch him fall asleep so peacefully. He is a gift from God. So as he wakes up now. I should post this before I don't have time. I could write forever on all the emotions I have today, but either way.......Happy Birthday Tyler....your Mommy loves you always.

Way behind the times
Well as all can tell the blog only lasted till I went back to work. I really have been wanting to update it but I rather spend time with Tyler when I get home from work. So much has happened since I last updated it. Tyler Is going to be 6 months tomorrow!!! Can you believe it? I definitely can't. He really is my pride and joy. AS tired as I maybe I am never so excited to see him. I get home from work and as soon as he sees me he starts to smile even if he is half asleep. His bond with his Daddy has grown so much. I hate to admit it but there are times that he prefers to go to Daddy now...it isn't all Mommy. So since so much has happened I am just going to list everything he can do now/has taken place. So here goes.
1. He sleeps from 7pm ish to 6:30ish every night. No more waking up
2. He has tried and liked peas, green beans, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, apples, mangos, pears, bananas, prunes, oatmeal and rice cereal.
3. Likes hold his own bottle.
4. Can sit up alone for a minute or so
5. Can FINALLY roll over!!! From back to Stomach
6. Stood up in the bathtub once.
7. Loves Books still and the color orange...Wonder why????
8. Can transfer a toy from hand to hand
9. Loves to Stand
10. Has gone into the pool and was OK with it
11. Loves singing and music.
12. Has tried a sippy cup an can use it on occasion when not to hungry
13. Has splashed in puddles
14. Loves being outside and touching the different textures of leaves, buildings, flowers, and grass.
15. Gets so excited when cars drive by.
16. Eats while sitting in his highchair.
17. Thinks Mommy's water bottle is his and freaks out when he sees it and constantly tries to drink from it...even though it is the size of him.
18. Will try to pet the cats.
19. Scream, babble, make noises all day long
20. takes his socks off
21. Can put his Nuk in and out of his mouth on his own.
22. He will try to turn off/on the light switch.
23. Plays with his bath toys
24. And got to spend time with my Grammie and Great Aunt again!
And I am sure there is more that I am missing but here are some pis to go along...
