Tyler

In this picture Hailey decided that even though Tyler was sleeping, he still wanted to play dolls with her. She put the horse and carriage in his swing and kept telling him to push it to her! Too cute!

Tyler's pink blanket! =) Actually it is one of Hailey's favorites and she felt that he NEEDED to be wrapped in it.... poor kid!

Smiling for Grandma

Here are some sweet pictures of Tyler smiling for Grandma at one of Patrick's soccer games. She is the best at getting him to smile. She was great at getting Hailey to smile too!

Circus

We took the kids (wow, weird to say kids) to the Circus. Hailey had a blast and Tyler slept through the whole thing!

Hailey LOVED this Elephant!


Hailey watching the Circus Acts!

Tyler and Daddy!


We ended up leaving at half time. It was almost 10:00pm and they were just having half time. WHAT?????? Patrick and I were so THANKFUL that Hailey had no clue what half time meant. =) We bought her these Dora and Boots blow up dolls on our way out and she was the happiest little girl EVER!

Funny

So this is kind of personal but I wanted to blog about it because I just think it was HILARIOUS...

Today I was breastfeeding Tyler and Hailey walks over and as she is trying to pull me away from him she says with a gross look on her face, "Mommy, get your boob out of his mouth, that is NASTY!" Ha Ha Ha Ha! I wanted to die laughing. She sure knows how to entertain me!

Another funny...

Later on tonight I asked her for a kiss and she said, "On my cheek so you don't mess my lip gloss up." Wow, she is such a girl!

One Month...Already!

Today Tyler is one month old and I can't believe how fast it has gone by even with no sleep! He is growing like a weed and such a good baby! It has been so weird getting used to little boy "parts" and changing diapers. I don't care what anyone says, a little boy is much harder to change than a little girl! Patrick and I have been peed on many times, even Uncle Jed was a victim to the automatic sprinkler. People would warn me, but I had no idea that it would be so bad! Tyler LOVES his baths and seems to relax (and pee) each time he gets one. He is a SUPER noisy sleeper. He is constantly grunting and making what I call "goat noises." I am surprised at how well he can hold his head up and move around at such a young age. I love to see his little face smiling, even if it is just gas, and he seems to smile a lot. It is the best when I start to talk to him and you can tell in his eyes that he knows that I am his mom. He is starting to make silly little noises (besides crying) and the funniest one he makes is almost like a quick yell. He has to sleep in his swing because he is spitting up so much, something I will NOT miss when it is gone. Hailey loves him to pieces and is constantly kissing him and touching him, which he seems to love. Even when he is crying he calms down if she starts talking to him. While riding in the car she has to hold his hand and is always wanting to help do something for him!

Here are some funny stories about Hailey and Tyler....

When Aunt Amy was holding Tyler she called him handsome and Hailey said to her, " No, his name not handsome, his name is my brother."

The other day I was holding Tyler and reading to Hailey when out of nowhere she says, "Mommy, can we keep him." I asked her who, and she replied, " My brother, the one your holding, I want to keep him." I guess it is a good thing that she doesn't want to get rid of him!

Happy One Month Birthday Tyler, we love you! XOXO

Dance Class

Today Hailey had her first dance class. It was so cute to see her all dressed up and excited to go! Once we got there she was really shy and just seemed to be observing rather than participating. She did love the part where she got to dress up as a princess and dance around! When we got home dance class was all she talked about and she kept showing her daddy and I the new moves she picked up. Funny how she wouldn't do them in class but as soon as we got home we couldn't get her to stop! I can't wait to see how she does next week!

Soon to be Mommy!

My sister Amy found out she is pregnant and I couldn't be happier for her. She is such an amazing Aunt, I can't even imagine how great of a mom she is going to be! I love you Amy and can't wait until your little one arrives. Until then...keep spoiling my kids! ;)
