Teefies!

Tyler is finally getting his two front teeth! He also cut another bottom tooth. Once these 3 come all the way down, he'll have a grand total of 7!! Time to start letting him have some table food! He's awake now, gotta go!

Busy day...

Tyler and I had a busy day today, but it was good for both of us. We went out to visit Grammy and Aunt Debbie at work, then we stopped at dunkin donuts for a donut and a coffee. When Grammy came home we went to Smithfield's for dinner and we just got back from a walk around the neighborhood. Tyler's rubbing his eyes but it's only 630 so I hope he's not thinking of bed time!

He sure is funny. Today I was doing something with my back turned to Tyler, and I hear him say, "Heeeeeey Da-da" and I turn around to see because he's never said "hey" before, and he was holding a picture of Paul! Then he tried to eat it, but it was still adorable!

I've set a goal, maybe you can help me! I want to come up with a list of TEN FREE THINGS TO DO in my area, something to help keep me and Tyler OUT of WalMart/Target/the mall so we can reach our savings goal. Any ideas? Here's my list so far...Park.

Thank you God!!

...for getting us to this point! Tyler has officially slept from 8 pm till 6 am without waking up once! I thought this night would never come! It only took 2 nights of letting him cry to get him to this point. I just wanted to say how proud I am of my little boy. Also, he learned to wave this week. I sure do love my little jellybean!

Hello!

Just wanted to update! Tyler cut his third tooth AND he's learned how to wave! It's precious...I love watching him wave to everyone. He got promoted to the crawlers room at church! It's just Tyler and two little girls in it! He better behave himself!!

I have some cute pictures to post later tonight hopefully! I found a great community of Christian mommies today and I'm really excited to get to know them!

Off to Jasmine's for dinner!

Hey

I haven't blogged here in a while so I thought I should give an update. Paul leaves for Guam next week. Tyler and I miss him so much! It's really going to be a long six or seven months without him. But we just have to remember that once he's back, it will be for good, and our family will never have to be apart again! (I love you Doodle)

Last night on the way to class, I got rear-ended on Hillsboro St. by the nicest guy, lol. I felt bad for him because I'm one of those people who believe nice people shouldn't have bad things happen to them, lol. Anyway, it took about an hour for the police to show up and we just sat there talking and by the time the cop got there, I was wishing I'd never called them. We decided to just exchange insurance information and deal with it later. It's not that much damage to my car, but his poor truck, lol. Did I mention he was Australian? Pretty cool.

I'm meeting some other Mommies from TriangleMommies.com at Pullen Park once a week starting next week. I want Tyler to have some friends his age and a couple of the moms have babies his age. Plus we have so much fun at the Park together.

Tyler has learned how to stand up by himself for about 10 seconds at a time. He's so brave. He doesn't like to use his hands anymore. I get the feeling he's going to be a stunt man when he grows up. That little boy is my very best friend. I don't know how I made it 26 years without him.

Well I better get going! It's raining out today but I wanna take Tyler somewhere, even if it's just to the mall.

Have a great day!!

Friday is the big day!

So we're just a couple days from leaving. Todd will be here around midnight. Yesterday morning, Tyler woke up, stood up in his crib and said, "da-da"! Of course Paul was already in the shower by then so he missed it. I hope he'll say it again before we leave so Paul can hear it. Well just wanted to pop in and catch up before things get hectic again! Say a prayer for our trip, we leave early Friday morning!

One week!

One week till we're home!! One week till we leave Paul, boo! Tyler is busy cleaning his motorcycle wheel with his sock, what a funny guy. We had family portraits made yesterday! Tyler was a pro of course, he smiled for every picture except for one. Paul is naturally photogenic. But everyone knows me! I ruined each picture, lol. Oh well. I'll post them on here when they get to us. It will be mid-Sept by then though. Have a great day everyone!

He also wore shoes for the very first time today!
