Parenting: Not as easy as it looks...

Today while some friends were over they asked if I had a blog... My answer, I've had a few blogs, I'm just terrible at keeping them updated! The more I thought about it during the day, the more I wanted to start another one! This will mostly consist of pictures of Tyler, funny things he's doing or discovering and random thoughts from a mom. Hopefully this will make it a little easier to keep things current!! I'll start with some pictures of Tyler from birth to now. Just to catch you up!

First Family Picture!

Poor Tyler had jaundice. He had to lay under the bili lights for 3 days!!

He always had his fist by his face...

These two share a birthday! We love Uncle Cody!

Teaching him young...

What kind of mom would I be if I didn't get my son shoes? ;)

Lovin' two toys at once!

We think he looks a little like Jack Jack from The Incredibles.

Absolutely love this picture. Daddy son time!

Still growing...

When Tyler was 2 months, he was diagnosed with Pyloric Stenosis. Put simply, the valve between the stomach and the intestines is too big to let food through, so he basically threw everything up. After 24 hours of not keeping anything down, we went to the E.R. They did some tests, gave him an I.V... in his head. :( And then sent us up to Primary Children's in Salt Lake. They did some more tests and said that Tyler was a "textbook case". The surgeon was nice enough to squeeze us into his schedule the same day. I was a little worried that my little boy would be having surgery, but I knew it was to help him. Everything went perfectly and we got to leave after a couple days. I didn't take a picture of him then. At the time I thought I wouldn't want to remember any of that, but now I'm wishing I had. This picture is from when Tyler was 5 months old and diagnosed with RSV. We stayed in the hospital for 5 days this time. The nurses loved all his smiles!
