This week with Tyler - July 31, 2008

Well, it's been quite some time since my last entry - okay, a really long time - so I am going to do an update.  The main reason is to let everyone know that Tyler is cutting his first tooth!!  We haven't taken a picture yet, because you can't really see anything.  But you can sure feel something!  He was gnawing on Lincoln's finger, and Linc was saying that it hurt but he didn't know if it was Tyler's fingernail or not.  So, after struggling with Tyler to get him to open his mouth, we could see a little bit of white and I could definitely feel something.  Oh our little boy is growing up!  Here are some of the most recent pictures we have of him from last weekend in Gimli:

He's enjoying some green beans here!  We have started Tyler on food now, and so far he enjoys cereal, green beans, squash and carrots.  He's not liking peas at all, so we'll try them again later.  And in a few days we'll probably try some fruit too.

Such concentration as he is eating Nana's Santa book.  Yes, it's Christmas at Nana and Popa's house right now!!!

This is along the dock in Gimli.  Artists have painted a number of pictures on the wall.  This one is to commemorate the emergency landing in Gimli 25 years ago of the "Gimli Glider".

We bought a new car seat for Tyler since he was getting too long for the old one.  This was taken in our bedroom before we put it in my car.  He looks stoned, but really, we didn't give him any drugs!!

OK, here's a better one!

Tyler got a Bumbo from the Lindsay Braun clan.  It's the greatest thing ever!  We have even taken it to restaurants and had him sit in it on the table.  It's helping him learn how to sit up on his own too.

This was out on our deck when my mom was here helping me clean and look after Tyler.  The hat has got to go though.  It's too small!  Again, such concentration.  He does smile a lot, but it's very difficult to get him to smile for the camera!

We bought a high chair for Tyler, but he practically drowns in it cuz he's so small!  It's pretty funny to see him in it!

Awww.  Aren't we cute!

Well, I will really try to do another update next week, but I can't make any promises!!
