First Week of June 2012


 We visited a new park, Towne Park.
 
 
 
 
 

Tiny baby toes.


We went to the library to play and check out books.  (We had just come from the pediatrician's office to have him weighed on June 7th.  He had gained 13 ounces in the past week and weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz.!)


Lunch and dessert at ChickFilA!

Summer Fun

Hanging out on the patio.

 
Sydney lost her second tooth!


Kathryn is tall enough to go down the slide!  Wahoo!  She hasn't actually had the chance yet, but she's excited.  She is on the O'Fallon Torpedos swim team this summer.  


About 2 inches to go!
 


The girls are very excited about the summer reading program at our local library.  I have enjoyed reading books to them and hearing them read books to me.

Funny Faces

He can make some pretty cute faces and some not-so-cute.  The last one is my favorite!

Awkward Family Photos

I didn't post the awkward ones, but here are the good ones from our attempt at taking family pictures. These were taken on May 29th when Tyler was 13 days old.

Tyler's First Week

Sleeping with Dad





Sleeping in Mom and Dad's bed.


Playing in the sprinkler.


Rolling her big, cute, chocolate-y brown eyes.


First bath!  He enjoyed the warm water, but hollered when we were transferring him to his towel.  During his second bath, he peed a little fountain and the girls thought it was super funny!

The Grandmas Visit

Nonnie and Grandma Karen came to meet Tyler and help us out.  We were able to do some fun things while they were here. 

We took Tyler in for his first pediatrician's visit on Monday, May 21st when he was 5 days old.  He was down to 5 lbs. 2 oz.!  Dr. Myer asked that we come back on May 24th to weigh him again, and at that appointment he was 5 lbs. 3.5 oz.  They were happy with his weight gain and asked us to come back weekly until he reached his birth weight. 

We went to the O'Fallon Public Works Fair.  Grandma Karen, Sydney, and Mike walked around and looked at all the big trucks and work equipment and the rest of us sat in the shade.

We snuggled with Nonnie.

We snuggled with Tyler.
 

Mike taught Sydney to ride a two-wheeler!  We took her up to the parking lot at TR Hughes ballpark so she would have a large, relatively flat, open place to ride.  He worked with her for about an hour before the got the hang of it.  
 

The girls got up early to say goodbye to Grandma before she drove back home to Texas.

Tyler's First Days Home



It is always kind of weird to bring a new baby home.  Even though he's #4, it still takes some time to get used to having a new little soul in our home.


 
May 18th was the girls last day of school and we waited for them on the front porch to celebrate the last day of school and welcome them to summer!
 


Reagan sure loves her Baby Tyler.  She loves to rub his head and is always asking, "my hold it?".  


Here is his unhappy face.  Look at his fuzzy hair on the back of his head.
