Photo Update

Ok, ok. I'll give you some more. Since I didn't post anything for so long, some of these pictures date back to when Ty was only a month old. He has grown so much and can do so much now. He has even rolled over a few times. He's also starting a kind of army crawl where he bunches up his legs and pushes off real hard. No more leaving him on the couch unattended! We love him more and more each day. Here's what we've been up to lately!

Blessing Day- It was a very sunny February 1st!

Ty's blessing day just happened to be Super Bowl Sunday. We didn't really watch the Super Bowl, but we had all the fixin's for it at the luncheon!

Sleeping like a baby- 8 weeks

Ty and Daddy- 2 months

Sweet Boy!- 2 months

With cousin Claire

Kind of random, but for Valentine's Day Jake got me a wedding band. It is absolutely beautiful! He went to so much work to get it- he had to have it special ordered to match my engagement ring. What a sweetheart! It's kind of a blurry picture, but that's just because it's got so much bling! jk

Ty and Grandpa Richardson- 10 weeks

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We had a St. Patrick's Day Dinner at the Merrell's complete with green apple sauce, green salad, green peas, green mashed potatoes, and green mint ice cream oreo cake. And of course green attire! (Tyler was sleeping, so he's the only one not in this picture)

Don't you just want to squeeze him? 3 months

Tyler and cousin Savannah. They like to hold hands- they did it all on their own!

Family walk around the Mesa, AZ temple.

It snowed a ton on the mountains back in February and Jake and Tyler and I went for a drive to get a better view. I love it- Saguaro cacti with snow in the background. Only in AZ!

Our Sweet Tyler

Well, I've been getting a lot grief from family and friends because I haven't posted new pictures of Tyler. Our computer has been broken for awhile, but Jake's bro-in-law is letting us borrow his, so now I can share our sweet boy with you. Tyler is such a joy and we love having him in our family. He is 3 months old now and can do so much. He LOVES smiling and laughing and it really doesn't take too much to get a smile out of him. He has a little stuffed monkey that he loves and has learned to put it in his mouth. It seems like anything he gets his hands on goes into his mouth! He's a pretty good sleeper during the day at nap times, but gives us a bit of a hard time at night. I'm hoping he'll grow out of it- we've even tried letting him cry it out, but after 25 minutes of a crying and sometimes screaming baby, I can't take it any more. He is so funny because if he's crying at night and I finally go in to get him, he'll often look up at me with a big grin on his face- how can you stay frustrated with a sweet smile like that! I don't have many pictures of Tyler here on this computer, but I'll try and get some more on soon. Enjoy!

Day of his blessing- 2/1/09 Thanks Grandma Merrell for my handsome tux and blankie!
