Heeeeeeeerrrrrrres Tyler!
Stats:
Born December 31, 2010 at 4:51 pm on the very day and almost same hour as the couples 10 year wedding anniversary- how cool is that?
7 lbs. 3 oz.
19 inches
24 hours of labor
Half asian, half spaniard – mixed kids are the cutest!!
No newborn photos would be complete without one of them crying right? That’s a newborn’s hobby. I have already heard tales in my brief conversations with the new parents of lack of sleep, and hours on end spent feeding, pumping, and diaper changing. Oh how I remember those days….thankfully it passes quickly or we parents would all die of exhaustion before the kids turned 5.  These are Tyler at just 5 days old…haven’t seen him with his eyes open yet- that’s for another post.

How is it humanely possible for the kitchen floor to get this dirty every single day?? Huh huh huh? Oh that’s right, we’re dealing with a toddler, something more than human.
I remember the days when I could easily go 2 weeks without mopping. Maybe longer. Maybe even a month (cue: shocked whispers all around). These days, I MUST sweep daily, and I SHOULD mop every few days, but I let it go a week.
I spose it’s all pretty worth it for this cute little bug though. Is it just me or does he look like he’s getting taller?

Let’s just be honest- I would never ever trade my son- in fact I’m GLAD now that I have my dear rough-and-tumble-but-still-lovy-Nolan-boy instead of a girl. Nolan is so fun! He likes to wrestle and cuddle- he’ll be able to hike beside me when he gets older (there’s always that scary chance that a girl would have turned out missy-prissy which I would have had a hard time adjusting to) BUT, there’s no way around it- girl clothes are simply to-die-for-cuter. My friend’s baby shower for Baby Vanessa is tomorrow and on a whim I decided to try making a baby dress. I for the most part shy away from sewing clothes- they seem intimidating to me, but I went for it because I was feeling good and wanting to try something new. I’m so happy with how it came out!!! I’m practically giddy. What fun. So much darlingness. The pattern was free from made by Rae, a great craft blog I frequent. I made a little felt ladybug for the apron because that’s Baby Vanessa’s room theme. The fabrics out these days are so vibrant and fun too, you really can’t go wrong unless you sew the arm hole openings shut or something. I’ve never made a ruffle and it turned out to be way easier than I had imagined. Now I want to make a million more- to put on the bottom of Nolan’s pants…haha just kidding.
