Meeting Family and Finding Hands

Oh its been so busy lately I cant even think. The last week of school always seems to hurt more than any other week. So lets see, besides working on reports and studying for a final I still spend every free moment with that smiling little boy. On Saturday I took Tyler over to meet his second cousin (Isha), everyone was all very excited to see him but somehow he didn't seem as excited. He was hardly in the visiting mood, however that's not because he didn't care he is just moody when things are out of the ordinary for him and being out of the house that day really messed up his plans. :)

As you can see Isha was a great sport about the whole thing. I'm sure Tyler was just happy to hear that she could speak the same language as him, I wonder if he understood that her cry was about him? Also if you look closer in the picture you will see that Isha's neck is very red, guess who that is from......yes that's right its from Tyler, don't worry I did cut his nails that night.

Monday night I came home from work and was playing with him on my bed and I have pillows with beads on them. Well Tyler figured out that he could hit those beads and they would move and make noise, this kept him busy for several minutes and it is so neat to watch him discover things with his hands. Oh yeah, I took a picture of this too!!!! :)

OK well back to work for me. Just thought I would post a little update! Everyone pray for me and these darn finals, they are driving me crazy!!!

How to get a baby to sleep

Here is my cute boy!! This is Tyler Friday evening after I had gotten home from work, we had a wonderful evening. He is really starting to enjoy his changing table; I think it has something to do with all the light in his room and the window right above him. He laid there and smiled and made new sounds at me for at least 30 minutes while I took pictures. I certainly enjoy this time with him; I wish he was always a happy baby like this.

Then there came Saturday night, little man was awake from 1am to 4am for no reason at all. Man oh man how I miss sleep, I was stressing out. It is so easy to get stressed out when you are sleep deprived. However no matter how stressed out I get I cant help but laugh in the middle of the night when I see him looking up at me with those big beautiful eyes like “What’s wrong mom, isn’t it time to get up and play” : ) !!

That kid is so funny sometimes!

Now I have taken a new approach to his sleeping. What I have learned is: If I give him a bath in the evening he cries, not the whole time but most of the time (my kid doesn’t like his clothes off). Crying is hard for this little guy therefore that and the warm water makes him tired.
Sooo: Bath = Crying + Hot Water = Tired + Sleep for everyone!

So here is Tyler last night and guess what, he only woke up once last night which means a very happy mommy here. He woke up a happy boy this morning, we laid on the bed and smiled and made noises together before I went to work. These are the moments I love!
