Look-Alikes

Especially now that Tyler has started to smile, we are delighted to see his resemblance to Ryan. None of our children have much similarity to each other, apart from the blond hair of the boys. This mimics my own family, who looks as alike as George Washington and Gearge Washington Carver. Of course, Ryan looks nothing like his baby pictures, so the mystery remains. Here are two of Ryan and two of Tyler.

Updated Pics of Tyler

Now that I am finally current with all the other pics, here is some taken just yesterday evening. Cuddling with Tyler on the couch is everyones favorite thing to do and he is generally very accomodating. Ryan is having a blast being the "biggest brother" and is very understanding of baby needs and concerned about how Tyler is feeling. Don has the early evening hours with Tyler (his unhappiest time for some reason) and shows what a pro he is in the Daddy department.

Bath time

Our first bath was quite the event. Everybody was fighting for ringside seats and after I got everything ready, Don swept in and did the honors. We are a little weary of baths because of the excema in our family, but there comes a point where rotton spit up makes the decision for you.

Lego Santa

Don took a break from all the baby fun to help the boys make a Lego creation based on a picture they had seen in the free "Lego Club" magazine the boys get every month. Those Legos sure are a hit at our house. They are played with EVERY day - mostly to make Star wars battle ships and fighters. Nevertheless, this was one of the best presents we have ever given (last years Christmas). I would say Legos are about the perfect toy except for the fact they they are so painful to step on!

Home at Last

Tyler is a good kid - getting up about every four hours to eat, eating well, and generally adored by all. Which doesn't mean that having a baby hasn't been quite the adjustment for everyone. But we are glad he is here!

PS Can you tell who we were rooting for in the college championships this year? We were quite disappointed that the good looking fan wear didn't give them enough of an edge.
