A bunch-o-pictures

Tyler today at nearly 2 weeks old.
Meeting his great-grandma T.

Mom and baby's first picture together
Just some pictures of the birthing center, for those curious about what it looked like
the single best form of pain management I've ever used
Tyler's 3 day check up

A shot of his pretty hair.
Isn't he pretty? I mean, um, cool?
I always make the dumbest faces, and Ethan always takes pictures when I look my worst.


Ethan calls Tyler his bestest buddy. This is the first time big brother got to hold him.


Tyler is such an easy baby. Adding him to the family has been no big deal at all. He's nursing like a champ. The hardest part of my day is keeping his adoring big brother and sisters away from him when he's sleeping. Me on the other hand, well, it's a good thing he was our last baby. My body isn't handling the whole post-partum healing stuff quite as well as is has before. I'm crossing my fingers that I can start into a good workout program in a couple more weeks.

PS: I made a Creamy Carrot Soup recipe today for dinner. One word to describe it, disgusting. I couldn't even gag it down. It's pretty much like pumpkin soup, which is vile in my opinion as well. Brett and I had to promise the kids that we would never make it again. Gag.

Congrats Cheri on the new edition. He is so cute! The first picture of him totally looks like you it's crazy.
The birth center looks awesome...I am so glad you were able to use the tub. People don't believe me when I tell them that it makes a huge difference. Good job on the birth! Are you so glad it was your last time?
Ethan is such a cutie, I wish him and Phoenix could get together more often. What a cute family!

So cute Cheri!! I am glad Tyler is a good baby, he really is a cutie! I am glad you took the time to take him to see Grandma T. I am sure she appreciated it A TON!! Can't wait to see him in person, whenever that may be. Christmas?
