6 Month Check Up and a Christmas Gift

We went to see the doctor today for Tyler's 6 month check up! Tyler loves to have his clothes off, so he was happy most of the time. He got weighed (19lbs 8oz) measured (27.5in) and the rest of him all checked out. He's a healthy boy and growing at the right rate. That's always good to hear. He was perfectly fine until it was time for shots. He got 4 this time! He cried as soon as he got the first one, and then for just a few minutes while he got the others, but as soon as I picked him up he was back to happy. At his last appointment he cried from the time he got the shots until we got home half an hour later! Needless to say I was relieved that this time was apparently easier on him.

After the appointment, we got home to a package at our door. It was from Tyler's great grandma and grandpa who live in Florida. (Tory's grandparents) We decided to let him open his Christmas present early. He loved the paper, as usual! It took him a long time, but with some help he finally got it open! He got two brand new outfits for the cold weather. They're a little bit too big, which is just perfect since we have a whole lot of winter ahead of us!

They also sent some Florida oranges, which Tyler enjoyed almost as much as his wrapping paper...

Visitors for Tyler

Meagan, Jeff, Gary, and Timothy came over today. Tyler was an angel the whole time! Which is saying something since his house was full of strange people! Meagan brought Christmas presents, which were very interesting to Tyler. He promptly pulled the bow off of his and chewed on it most of the time they were here. When he wasn't attempting to consume the bow, he was slobbering all over the wrapped box... yummy! He also loves playing with the tree and the ornaments:

He showed off his crawling skills, along with his two teeth!


After they left, Tyler continued on with the present-slobbering. He got one of his gifts open by slobbering on the tape enough so that it didn't stick anymore! Once he got the paper off, he was no longer interested (even though there were yummy looking Santa animal cookies inside!) Oh no, he wanted the other wrapped box. Goofy kid...

A Visit to Big Lots

Tyler and I went to visit Tory at work today. He was in his office when we got there, so we went to the furniture section for some chillin. Here he is on the couch I wanted to take home. So comfy!


Then Tory showed up and the first words out of his mouth were "Tyler is... bright... today." He sure is! Tyler got a ride on Tory's lap in the rolling chair. Must be a boy thing. =)


After about 30 minutes of visiting/testing out couches, Tyler and I headed home. He got a head start on nap time in the car. Check out my mad muliti-tasking skills: driving and picture-taking!
