Well, I am back at work today. Tyler is fine (although he has developed quite the cough which I am a bit worried about) and back at daycare. Besides that cough, no runny nose or fever, so who knows - allergies, maybe? Anyway, it has been a LONG week and I am looking forward to the weekend. Wanted to give a couple of updates:

Cute Tyler Stuff
The other night I hear Tyler stir and went to check on him. He was resettling himself, but before he was completely silent, I heard him say “ah-pple” and again “ah-pple”. That was it - he was out! I guess he had been processing his day because there was a lot of talk of apple that day. It was the cutest thing.

Tyler, Sticks are not for Mulching

Walk Routines
So when Tyler walks with his walker I will sometimes walk right next to him shuffling my feet. He thinks it is hilarious. He has this funny routine. He will walk for a little bit, stop, step out to the side I am on, grab my leg, and lick my jeans (almost more like a kiss or something). Then he is off an walking again. I don’t know what he is doing, but it is the cutest thing to see.

This Weekend
We got a lot done this week, so I guess I should take it easy this weekend, huh? We will a little bit. We have Chris’ folks lined up to do a little babysitting on Saturday so that we can go see Harry Potter (again, the midnight how wasn’t enough) at Alamo Drafthouse. Then later that night, we will be heading to Saltlick so Tyler can have his first real BBQ. We are attending a birthday party there. The plan is to head home when Tyler is tired with the hope that he will just crash in the car on the way home. Sunday we have a baby shower to go to as well. In between, I have a few things I want to get done, but I will try not to get too crazy about it.
