Tylenol makes Tyler very sleepy!!!

To make sure Tyler does not get a fever from his shots the doctor perscribed Tylenol. Here are some pictures of the affects...

2 month visit

Tyler had his 2 month doctors appointment on the 29th of August. He did really well, he didn't seemed bothered at all when the doctor was checking him. Tyler is growing so fast he is now 23.2 inches long and 12 lbs 2 oz! The doctor commented on how strong and alert he was, as you can see he was very amused by the fish on the wall. He cried for his shots of course, but was fine by the time we got to the car. He is such a tough little guy:)

Hodel Family

By popular demand here is a picture of the three of us. It is not the best picture but Tyler was hungry and not wanting to smile for the camera. None the less a picture is better than no picture.

So cute!

Aunt Donna sent us this outfit for Tyler. He looks so cute in it! I love the ears!!!

New Toy

" Ohhh what is this???"

"Having a good time."

"Over it!"

The other day Tyler got bored in his swing and nothing seemed to amuse him, so I decided to bring out a new toy. Here are some pictures. It worked for about 5 min.

Tyler's visit with Nana and Pop

Pop and Nana drove all the way from California to see Tyler. Here's some picture of them, he smiled lots during their visit!

Daddy

Ken actually got to come home before Tylers bedtime for the first time this week and play with him. We were all so excited! Another bonus is he didn't have to be back at work until 8:00 am which is much better 2:45 am. Week 1 down only 5 more to go...We are so proud!

smiles

I know, I know, all of the new posts are of him on his blanket...he just looked so darn cute this morning I couldn't help it. Can we say "New Mommy Syndrome"? Anyways, as you can see from the pictures he is starting to smile a lot which is making up for all the fussing that goes on:) Hopefully this weekend we will post some more pictures. I just realized last night that we do not have ANY pictures of all three of us...I guess either Ken or myself are always the ones taking them. Anyways, his smile has been so rewarding. I can't wait for him to laugh!

All the colors

Tyler is changing so fast! It seems like everyday he is doing something new, he loves looking at colors, in fact when I turn him around on his back he gets fussy. He can also hold his head up and just this week he has started "baby talk". It is amazing what they learn in just 6 weeks!

nap time

Todd has become very fond of Tyler, infact he never lets Tyler out of his sight. Maybe Todd will help me while Ken is gone at Chief induction for the next 6 weeks.

kim

My friend Kim loves hanging out with Tyler, she has been such a big help and we really appreciate her. Ken always jokes that she is planning to kidnap him...

Bye Auntie

Auntie Andie burping Tyler on her last night. She didn't mind him spitting up on her which really surprised me.
"Bedtime"
Kisses
Time to go to the airport

Please don't go I love you!!!!

After a week of help we had to send Andrea back home:( Goodbye's stink! Anyways, we had a great time while Andrea was here and we will be looking forward to seeing her again at Christmas. These pictures are of her putting him to sleep and saying the dreaded goodbye.

Picture time

Today we took a hundred pictures of Tyler trying to get the perfect one for his baby announcements here are a few. You will have to wait until they come in the mail to know which one we decided on:)

Auntie Andie

Tyler's Aunt Andrea flew in this morning. She was suppose to arrive here last night but things did not go well in Dallas so, she had to stay the night. Here are a few pictures of her smothering him which I am sure she will do often this week. I am thankful that she was able to come out as it is nice having someone to hang out with. I love the first picture, both of their facial expressions are classic!

Meeting Katie

Today was a big day for Tyler he got to meet my friend Katie for the first time and his Aunt Andrea. He was awake the entire time Katie was here which was nice, he is usually sleeping during the day so usually people meet him when his eyes are closed (we are really working on this!).

Loving the swing

Tyler really enjoys going in his swing. He is now able to watch the birds spin, as you can see in the pictures he seems to be smiling. We also like the swing because it can often rock him to sleep when we can't. Ken has stated on many occasions that he wishes he could fit in it...
