Tyler's going to be a Big Brother!

We are expecting baby number 2! The good thing about fertility is ALL the ultrasounds that you get. We did have to go through in-vitro this time around, which is a lot more complicated. It wasn't a pleasant experience and resulted in a few complications on my end, but thankfully it was successful and everything has been going smoothly. I'm almost 12 weeks along and have been very fortunate as far as symptoms are concerned. I'm exhausted, but have only had mild morning sickness. This time around has actually been easier than with Tyler. I'm a LOT more hormonal and moody, but due to the in-vitro I have been on extra hormones etc... so I'd like to just blame it on that! haha Here are some pictures of our second snowbaby! Enjoy!

Water Fun!


,

Tyler is really enjoying the summer time. We got a sprinkler for him to run around in, which he didn't like at first... but after he got over the initial shock of water being squirted on him, he had fun. I don't have any recent pictures of him in the pool, but he's doing really well with his swimming. He LOVES the pool. We have small one at the house just for him, and there is a big one next door that we go to. He knows he has to have his floaties on before he can get in, although he calls them "pants." He realizes that he must have his "pants" on before he can jump in the pool. He's able to swim without me holding onto him and keeps his head up pretty well. He doesn't really have much direction at this point, but considering he's only been swimming three or four times this year he's doing fabulous!

Aw, nuts!





We got a package in the mail a couple weeks ago and we were all bored, so we let Tyler enjoy the fun that is packing peanuts. He moved them from box to box for a while, threw them in the air for a few minutes... then he just rolled around in them! He did help clean up after all the fun was over, it was pretty entertaining watching him while it lasted!
