Many firsts for Tyler

Tyler is growing up so fast. He is actually 7 months old now. He took his first trip to Galveston for his Aunt Susu and Unlce Dean's wedding. He also went swimming for the first time. It was too cold to go to the beach but I still dressed him for it. He has cut two more teeth in about 2 weeks since my last blog. Mommy likes to put him in silly hats. He loves to smile and show off those dimples and if you look real hard you can see two bottom teeth. Plus, he got his first tattoo. He is getting to play in Klayton's jeep and he loves it. I have taken several pictures of Tyler just like I did with Klayton and I can't wait to make a photo album of the Chance boys! The similarities are remarkable. K4 gets to have her own photo album!!

Easter 2008

Tyler is now 6 months old and weighs 17 lbs. He FINALLY got in his first tooth. I think it took three months. He is definetly a character, I put his hat on straight and he would move it to the side. I would straighten it and guess what......he would move it back. He had a good Easter and got his picture taken with the Easter bunny!

At first he is not sure what this brown thing is because he is used to Clyde, my black cat.

And it didn't take long for him to make a new friend. I guess Tyler told the bunny that carrots are his favorite food too! We are going to Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Dean's wedding in Galveston this weekend so stay tuned for some beach photos!

Tyler is 5 months old now, weighs about 15 lbs. and is holding his head up. My preemie is right on schedule!

Maw had the camera again. She got some great photos of Tyler. He's smiling and laughing.

Tyler got to take his first road trip to Austin.
Klayton was all smiles and ready to show us all his cool stuff.
Aunt Kelly got to play with Tyler as Klayton introduced him to Rolly
"rock and roll"














GQ.....here I come!

My favorite photos

I couldn't get all the photos on the blog so I picked my favorites. I am such a proud Aunt and Mommy!!

Happy New Year 2008

Where did those dimples come from?


If you look really close you can see Tyler under the tree with all his Christmas gifts.

We had alot of firecrackers around our house on New Year's Eve which kept Tyler up late...when they stopped he crashed!









Here is Tyler helping Daddy and Popo work on the cars! Greasy baby!

He's really trying to play in this walker but his legs are just alittle too short!!

He is 4 months old, weighing in at 14lbs!!
He is starting to teeth and sleep through the night. We may begin baby food in the next few weeks.

They grow up too fast!!! And who ever said that if it is your child it's poop won't stink.........LIAR!!!!

Happy New Year.........

Christmas 2007 cont..........

Klayton loves ribs!! Like I said Maw and the boys was hilarious!

Klayton really liked his tool bench. I miss it! I enjoyed playing with it as much as he does. He was also happy with his Bob the Bulider "can we fix it" stuff and Thomas the Train. Such a big boy!

Uncle Kevin feeding the baby......too cute. Aunt Kelly did too but for some reason I didn't get a picture of her with Tyler. (sorry Kelly...we will definetly get one next time)

Christmas 2007

Christmas was awesome. We had it early with K3. Klayton came and stayed with us for four days.

Tyler is now 3 months old and weighs 11 lbs. Despite getting a winter cold and needing breathing treatments, Tyler managed to visit Santa, roll over, smile, and play with his musical toys.

Getting the perfect picture of Maw with the boys was hilarious.

Klayton got lots of toys and sang and danced for us.

I couldn't have had a better Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2007

We have so many things to be thankful for this year. Tyler is now 2 months old and weighs 9 lbs.

With Daddy being a Longhorn and Mommy an Aggie things get alittle tense this time of year but....

I have to admit we were so pleased with the score of "The Football Game" 38-30...........Tyler salutes all you t.sips.

As Klayton would say "Go Ayyies"

Halloween 2007

Mommy couldn't decide whether he should be a baseball player or just dress in "glow in the dark" t-shirt and boxers (which I purchased at Build a Bear) and I was not the only preemie Mommy to do so. He slept most of the time but we did go door to door with his cousin Zachie.

Baptism October 21. 2007

Tyler and I got baptized on the same day. K3, Maw, and all the Wilson's were here to celebrate. It was also our one year anniversary. What a glorious day!

Our first night home

Clyde kept watch of little Tyler, he would sleep on the bottom of the bassinet. Tyler was so small his bed looks huge.

October 14, 2007

I haven't blogged in a while so I will try to catch everything up briefly. This is us in the NICU and we got the approval to take Tyler home. We were so surprised because he wasn't going to be released for a few more weeks.

His car seat has extra padding for his little head. He was so small, but he actually weight 5 lbs. Mommy was so proud.
