…and so is Tyler. It seems we have hit that famed fussy stage they go through right before crawling. More than ever now, he is sure of what he wants and is not happy when he can’t get it. He fusses when I go to change his diaper. He definitely needs a change, but I think that just isn’t what he wanted at the moment.

Fights Sleep
He fights sleep like the dickens. He arches his back and squirms when I try to nurse him to sleep at night. My Mom almost fell out of her chair when I told her he was refusing the boob! :-p It was like..wow, this is big. We haven’t been able to get him to bed before 10pm - last night was after 10:30pm.

Wants Mommy
Yesterday, he was playing in his crib with Daddy, when I made a phone call. Chris said when he heard my voice, he pulled up and was clamoring over the crib to get to me. He did that his morning at Susan’s. When I left, he turned around and attempted to crawl in my direction upset. (That kills me when he does that..)

Growing Up
Oh, and he is starting to refuse his solids sometimes. It is all quite amazing really. He is growing into a little boy and is expressing himself. Some days it is tiring, but I think it is just requiring me to step up my game and get creative. He is so fascinated by his world, that he gets bored. He wants to be out touching, tasting and inspecting everything he sees. I think in the afternoons we may start going to the swimming pool - especially if his nap schedule moves to this new schedule.

Lots of Planning to Do - What are your thoughts?
Well, Tyler’s 1st birthday is on the horizon. Any ideas on what we should do? I definitely want it to be low key whatever we do. Also, Halloween is coming up. Tyler costume ideas anyone?
