Things I Love

As mysterious as this title is, I'm going to fill you in on some of the things that I love about Tyler.  Other than him working on a third tooth coming in and a fever followed by crankiness, it's been a relatively calm week.  I am completely fine with this and will take it anytime! 

Having a baby has brought a whole new joy to our lives and I wanted to share some of the things that I love about this little guy.

- I love it when... I hear Tyler and Michael laughing together.  It really is the best sound ever!
- I love it when... I can hear Tyler's hands hitting the floor as he is crawling around trying to find me.
- I love it when... I come to pick him up from school and he gives me a huge smile as he is crawling towards me.
- I love it when... He drinks his bottle in our bed in the morning and lets out a big sigh after he finishes.
- I love it when... He entertains himself by playing with his toys for an extended period of time.
- I love it when... I say mama, mama, mama, and he looks at me for a second and says dadadadadadada!
- I will love it when... He says mama as much as he says dada.
- I love it when... He pets Dakota on the paw or snout and smiles.
- I love it when... He giggles if I tickle his feet.
- I love it when... Dakota gives him a kiss on the cheek.
- I love it when... Michael changes his diaper and it's a dirty one- haha.
- I love it when... I see a trail of drool behind him as he crawls around.
- I love it when... he falls asleep with his "lovie" over his eyes (just like his mommy).
- I love it when... he is asleep on Michael's shoulder.
And finally, I love it when someone says hi to him and he smiles, turns his head away, squeezes me and buries his head in my chest.  The absolute best!

Check out my droooooooool...

On another note, when we were in Atlanta last week, Tyler was finally introduced to his Great Great Aunts, Picky Pic and Helen and his Great Uncle, Mark, along with some other relatives.  It was unfortunate the reason we were all together, but it was so great to see everyone!  Also, Tyler is a wonderful distraction to the stresses in life.  He really can bring a smile to your face regardless of the situation.  The sheer innocence of a child is just another reason why I love my little man!
