Tyler's Adventures

Tyler made his first trip to Illinois this past weekend so that I could coach my boys team in some regional league games. He spent the majority of the car ride there crying, we were beginning to think we'd never go anywhere ever again! Luckily he changed his tune for the car ride home and spent the majority sleeping peacefully. He had fun exploring his grandma and grandpa's house for the first time as well as meeting more family members.

Tyler is getting excited for his first Iowa-Iowa State gameday experience tomorrow. He'll be wearing Hawkeye colors (because he doesn't fit into his Cyclone shirt anymore!) but I like to say he has Cyclone blood from those first 9 months =) Kevin and I have promised to be nice to each other all day!

I got a great surprise this week when my college roommate Flores made an appearance from Hartford, CT. Kevin and some other friends were conspiring to surprise Kristina and I, we had fun hanging out this week and Tyler and Jace got to meet their new best friend and have lots of photos taken of their smiles.

Tyler also got to meet Kevin's co-workers this week, they had a "Meet Baby Tyler" party on Wednesday so we went to Kevin's office so they could all see just how cute he is in real life! He was his usual wide awake self (had just finished feeding him before leaving the house) so he was a big hit. By the time we were ready to leave, he had fallen fast asleep in the conference room we were in.

Sunday marks Tyler's 2 month birthday! His newest trick is holding his head up, he's getting so much stronger and can look around for longer and longer each day without needing help holding it steady. Definitely an accomplishment for a little boy with a 95th percentile head size!

Here's a picture of the little guy this morning (right before he spit up all over this outfit and I had to completely change it)
