Ah, Tyler,,, you are aquiring many nicknames these days. You started out as "little smoker", christened by Aunt Jennifer for the way you hold your pacifier hanging out of your mouth. You often hear me call you "buddy", "son", and Lexi's cute "baby Tyler". But lately, you have been renamed "little puker". The laundry piles says it all!! We have ruled out any pyloric stenosis problems, and are now just stocking up on detergent. This is Tyler, maybe a puker, maybe a screamer, or even occassionally a nice calm boy. He is always leaving us guessing. Anyone who says feeding their baby is a bonding experience, needs to feed Tyler! Its more of a wrestle mania expo while trying to force the bottle in his mouth and deciding when to stop without wearing the few ounces he just swallowed. But non-the-less, Tyler is Tyler and this might be him for the entire first year of his life. Derek and I are aware of our situation, embracing it, and are flowing along with the ups and downs. On the upside of Tyler,, he sleeps more hours per day then any of the girls did!! Yea, for sleep!!
Today I went back to work just for small, infrequent shifts. It felt good to add keep social security going, as my father-in-law would say. There were no tears this morning as everyone got to their destinations. The girls headed to Aunt Jennifers daycare. They love it there with their friends. Tyler went to Grandma Sheryl's for a little one-on-one care. He did great there, ate well, barely slept (good for mommy later!!). I will be working a few hours a week until Tylers first surgery in July. Then I will take off as much time as we need as a family to get back to a routine again. I am guessing I will be off about a month this summer, not to bad for a little warm weather vacation time!
As I am blogging, I have put one child to bed three times.........Good Night Lexi......Thank God for Tubal Ligations.... And Dam Aunt Jennifer for giving her a NAP!!!
