Look What I Can Do...
Tyler has figured out how to pull himself up and stand in his crib! I was so proud of him. And he was so tickled with himself. He would hold on to the side of the crib so he wouldn't fall.
Tyler is also getting a 2nd tooth! The first tooth is just coming in and already another one! It's coming in right next to the first one. He's going to be so cute with 2 little teeth showing!
Tyler is getting so big and I continue to be amazed at how much he is learning and growing. I love to watch him examine whatever his tiny hands can hold. He is such a happy baby. He cries when he's really sleeping or hungry and that's about it. Although he has learned if he "cries" when we walk out the room we'll come back in. And he's milking that right now, but when you walk back in he's just so darn cute! He keeps saying Dadadadadada. I'm working on Mama, but no luck yet. But he sure does love me. He gets so excited when I pick him up from 'school'. And when we are playing on the floor, he'll crawl up to me and put his hand on my face and cuddle next to me. And my heart just melts! He has definitely won my heart a million times over. I just can't believe how much I love this little guy. I read once that having a child is filling a place in your heart that you never new existed, and that's so true. My prayer is that Tyler grows into the child and man that God has designed him to be. And that Frank and I can be the parents that God has called us to be. What a huge blessing God has given us!

Belly Flop!
Now for the disclaimer (since my husband has already asked how I "let" him fall off the bed.) I put him in the center of our king size bed every morning so he can have his bottle while I get ready less than 2 feet away from him. I also surround him with pillows...tall pillows. So it wasn't that he just crawled off the end of the bed. He had to crawl up and over 2 big fluffy pillows (stacked on top of each other) and then go off the side of the bed. So it was not an easy task for a 7 month old. And, let me also mention, he only army crawls. So we are not even talking a full "stand on all fours" crawl. I think he's going to be athletic because that took some skill. So no Frank. I did not 'let' him crawl off the bed. Tyler saw the pillows as a challenge that he was determined to overcome. And our smart, athletic little boy accomplished his goal...but quickly realized that mommy put those pillows there for a reason.
Oh the joys, and tears of motherhood.

Not Much Better
And I wish I could figure out what to do now. I think either decision I make I am going to have regrets. If I go and leave Tyler, I'm going to feel like I am abandoning my sick child. If I don't go, I'm going to wish I was there all weekend long. And plus, I was soooo looking forward to this get away with my girlfriends. And we're staying at an adorable Bed and Breakfast and I've NEVER stayed at one before. And I really need this weekend to get some sort of sanity back. But am I going to be a bad momma for leaving and enjoying myself while my baby doesn't feel good? Oh the tough decisions.......
Any Advice????? I could use some right now.....

Tyler is Grounded...Yes Grounded!
So I rush home and treat it with shout. Well shout ain't doing anything! I'm on my 3rd wash right now, and I am really crossing my fingers. Otherwise Tyler's on restriction. And those pictures better turn out good!
***Update: After 3 washes, still no luck. It has faded down to a yellow color. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this out??? I've got it soaking in water (with shout) right now so it doesn't dry. HELP!!!!

Bedtime With Tyler
All that playing makes me so sleepy. My mommy loves watching me sleep. She thinks I am so cute when my tushy sticks up in the air.
When I wake up in the mornings and see my mommy, I get so tickled. She smiles and says, "Good morning sunshine. Did my sweet baby sleep good last night?" And I just giggle and kick until she picks me up.
My mommy and daddy love me so much. I'm such a happy little boy because they always play with me and make me laugh.

A Powerful Love
I think I'm supposed to eat with my mouth, but I keep getting it in my nose.
Sleeping so good in my 'big boy' room.
The outfit's for my daddy...camo and blue jeans. But the smile is for my mommy!

So In Love
Last night you did the sweetest, yet simplest thing in the world and but it just made my heart melt. I was holding you and feeding you your bottle and you stared straight at me the entire time. And then you took your hand and just put it on my cheek and held it there for the longest time. I know it was so simple, but my heart just melted. You have the sweetest, most cheerful personality and I love every single minute with you. I still look at you and can not believe that your daddy and I got so blessed with such a sweet and lovable baby. You have definitely won mommy over! You get cuter and cuter every day. I could just eat you up!!! And you have the sweet little giggle. Your daddy loves to tickle you. But now, when you see him coming you start giggling before he ever even touches you. It's so funny. You just light up my life. And I am so, so, so in love with you.
Love, Mommy

Poor Frank
Last night Frank had to watch Tyler while I went to dinner with the girls from work. He could not believe I was abandoning him during his hour of need. So he calls his sister (a nurse) because he is on his death bed. You should have heard how pitiful he sounded. But miraculously when he called me 5 minutes later, he sounded just fine. So I then said, "Frank, if you feel this bad, you shouldn't go to the Carolina Game tomorrow night. That night air and all that noise is really going to bother your earache." He replied, "I'll stick a cotton ball in my ear." So what a dedicated fan...Frank on his death bed, but still able to cheer his team on to victory. Sounds like a Lifetime movie doesn't it.
So my poor, poor husband is so sick. I'm glad I have life insurance on him b/c it's not looking good. So please remember, in lieu of flowers, you can just make a donation to the Tyler Mac college fun.

Sick Baby
So momma took little man to the doctor and he told her that he didn't think it was allergies, which is what we thought it was. He thinks he may have asthma!!! POOR LITTLE GUY! The pitiful cough was actually caused by him wheezing. The doctor doesn't want to run any test right now b/c he's still so little. But he has him on albuterol drops. The good news is, he may grow out of it, which is what I am hoping for. Frank and I both have asthma, so we knew he stood a good chance of having it as well, but I didn't think it would show up this soon. Even though little man isn't feeling 100%, he's still the happiest little baby. He just grins and laughs. I love him so much . He's brightens our lives so much. Here's some recent pictures for you. I hope they make you smile!
My 2 favorite guys. Don't they look so peaceful...you'd never know they were BOTH snoring in this picture :-) " Mommy...please don't put me in this car seat. I want to play!" 30 seconds after this picture was taken, he was asleep! But I thought this was so funny.
