We started off this month with our trip to Atlanta which I wrote about in an earlier post. Since then we have been pretty low key and trying to figure out our routine for this fall. I started a study at Watermark called Equipped Disciple which meets for a few hours once a week. Tyler started going to childcare for the first time. He did great even though I was a little nervous. It's always so fun going to pick him up and seeing him smile when he hears my voice. Such a momma's boy :).
Brian has been really happy with the start of football season which means Tyler wears the same outfit every Saturday. His Aggie onesie, of course! We can't wait for Tyler to grow up and love the Aggies too :)
Tyler has also discovered his feet. Sometimes I catch him just laying on the floor holding both feet and just staring at them. It is almost like he wants to say, "Are these mine?" He is still sucking on his hands, shirts, thumb, toys, and probably his toes very soon.
Since the weather has been nicer lately we have started taking advantage of the running path by our house. I am doing more walking than running these days but hope to work my way back into it. Its not so easy trying to run and push a heavy stroller! Here is a picture of us on the trail with Brian's childhood home in the background. Who would have ever thought we would be living less than a mile from where he grew up?!
Our bedtime routine has been working pretty good this past month. We usually put Tyler down between 7:30 and 8:30 and you will sleep until around 7am. It isn't the night time sleep that is difficult but the napping. There are some days I think I am going to lose my mind because he will only sleep for 30 minutes between each feeding. That means most of the day he wants to be held or is fussing. Brian has been such an amazing encourager to me during this time. He has come home early from work many days and is always there to listen when I need to talk. :) Here is a sweet picture of Brian reading Tyler a book at bedtime. This kid has some long legs on him...
These have been the hardest 4 months of my life but I wouldnt trade it for anything. Especially when I catch a moments like this...

Food: Still breastfeeding every 3 hours (7:30, 10:30, 1:30, 4:30, 7:30)
Sleep: Naps are a little tricky but he is still doing great at night. He goes down around 7:30 and doesn't usually (key word being "usually") wake up until 6:30 or 7am.
Clothes: 3-6 months
Likes: To be held, being around lots of people, standing up, sucking on his hands

We love you sooo much!
