So Silly

Michael gets in on the hand-chewing action.

Halloween

On safari with my giraffe for a stop by my office
on Friday followed by a friend's Halloween party.

All partied out.

Note to future moms: festive Halloween clothing is not as hot and uncomfortable as a furry Halloween costume. If Tyler were old enough to trick-or-treat a furry costume would have been practical since the weather outside is cool.

Happy Halloween

Feet Eater

Did someone order up some feet to eat? Mmm... yummy!

Skull Cap

Tia Janina sent Tyler this cute skull cap. It's hard to tell in the photos but the eye sockets are little hearts.

Short Video Clips from Brad & Megan's Wedding

We just got back from New Orleans for Brad & Megan's wedding, which was fabulous! I still need to sort through all the photos and get some from my Dad and other folks, but wanted to post a few short video clips from the wedding.

Restless Sleeper

Like me, after getting in bed Tyler tosses and turns until he finds that one sweet position to drift off to dreamland and then later he adjusts all over again. Even though we put Tyler to sleep on his back (like you are supposed to), he almost immediately flops over on to his stomach. As you can see above he also wiggles and rotates to wherever he pleases. Apparently it's okay for babies to sleep on their stomachs once they are able to roll over from tummy to back and back to tummy on their own. I stopped swaddling Tyler recently because most of the time he was squirming his arms out of the swaddle anyway and had started rolling over onto his stomach while swaddled. I have a feeling it won't be long until we have to lower the crib mattress because tonight after I put Tyler to bed I watched as he grabbed the crib rails and tried to use them to maneuver about the crib and he almost looked like he was trying to pull himself up.
