Hello all...is it really, November 5 already? Was our little Tyler (who isn't quite so little anymore) really born 5 months ago? Hard to believe it is true.The past month has been a bit of a blur to us, as we spent most of the month, planning for our move, packing and driving 1300 miles cross country. I have to thank my father and sister for flying out to Texas to drive back with me. It was an especially big deal for Grandad, as this was his first time on a plane. I must admit I was kind of concerned about the fact that Tyler would be stuck in a car, in his car seat for a total of 20+ hours over several days, but he
was a champ. It ended up taking us 26 hours in 4 days, but he did great. We had the occasional outburst, but who wouldn't be at least a little bit fussy being confined for so many hours. I know my sister, dad and I were all ready to be out of the car by the time we reached Charleston, WV...and still had another 4 hours to go.
Tyler's continues to amaze us with his new tricks. He is now sitting up, by himself for brief periods of time, as well as attempting to hold his own bottle. He does much better when the bottle is nearly empty and lighter. He also proceeds to let us know if we take it away while he is still hungry by grabbing the bottle and shoving it back into his mouth.
Because we are in transition, we didn't actually get to do any trick-or treating (probably best for mommy and daddy's tummies), but since Les and I spent hours searching countless halloween stores for this particular costume, we felt obligated to at least get him into it on Halloween. He wasn't too happy about the hat on his head, but he was a trooper.
