Five Months Old

August has been a crazy month for the Crawford family. Tyler turned five months old on the 5th and I had to have an appendectomy. Being in the hospital and away from Tyler for 3 1/2 days was tough but it was a great opportunity for Capp and Tyler to bond and they are now "boys" as Capp likes to say. Capp's been quite the trooper taking care of me and Tyler and the brunt of the responsibilities. Thankfully I'm finally back on my feet and we're slowly getting back into our routine. Tyler is growing so fast.....he's really keeping Capp and I on our toes. He loves to play and splash around in his bath tub, can just about sit up on his own, likes to go outside with daddy and play fetch with doggie and is still desperately trying to crawl. We go on our first vacation in about a week....yeah! I'll be sure to post a blog when we get back.

Four Months Old

Tyler turned four months old on July 5th and now weighs 15 lbs 12 oz and is 24 3/4 inches long. July 4th weekend was a big weekend for Tyler......he moved upstairs to his room and his big boy crib and started eating rice cereal. He has mastered rolling over from his front to back and back to front and is desperately trying to crawl. He's a very happy baby and really loves to smile. We think he's going to get some teeth soon and will really miss his big, gummy, toothless smile. Here are some new pics.....

Happy Father's Day

Today is daddy's first Father's Day and I wanted to thank him for always playing with me and making me laugh, changing my never ending poopy diapers, not getting upset with me if I accidentally pee on him when I don't have a diaper on, waking up at night to feed me and staying up until I get a good burp and taking and picking me up from school every day. Below are pictures of me and daddy and things we like to do together......

First Day of Day Care

Today was Tyler's first day at day care. He got a great report card...he excelled in eating, sleeping and making dirty diapers. Tyler's also proving to be the bully of the Little Lambs. He's only been there one day and he's made sure all the other babies know that he gets the good swing.

It's kind of hard to ignore the elephant in the room...when the elephant is ON YOUR HEAD!!!
