Outside Fun

Like everyone with small children we love to get outside as much as possible.  Reid got a new bike for Christmas and he wants to ride it as much as possible.  We are taking advantage of living right next to the park and we get over there at least once a day or whenever Reid can convince us to take him.  He loves to be outside and wants to practice as much as he can on his new bike.  He is getting really good on it and I’m surprised at how good he can balance already.  Best idea ever are these balance bikes.  Not a fan of training wheels and it bypasses them completely!

Tyler is 4 months

So I haven’t really been on top of things lately and I’m a little behind considering Tyler is almost 5 months but still I'm making an effort here! The months just keep going by so fast that I’m not ready for him to keep getting bigger. Every month I’m shocked at how big he is getting that maybe I’m in a little bit of denial!

Anyway, Tyler is growing so fast and we just love him more and more each day.  He is such a snuggle bug and loves to be held which is a good thing because I just can’t help myself.  He is getting so fat and chunky which makes him perfect for squeezes.  He is also losing all of his hair, especially in the back.  He doesn’t have a bald spot, but a bald ring. Still not sure what color his hair is going to end up being.  The new growth is still so short that it is hard to tell.  I think it’s going to be a dark blond but we shall see. 

He is getting more and more playful. He loves to see what is going on around him and just loves to be outside. He squeals and talks so much more when he is outside.  He pretty much has to be able to see someone when he is awake or else he gets angry so when I am cleaning I have to turn his seat so that he can see me at all times.  He smiles and talks to me while I am being busy so I don’t mind it too much.

I took him to the gym for the first time and has done great every time.  I am thrilled cause now I get to drop the kids off for an hour to have some time to myself and I get a good workout.  It takes forever to get there but once I’m there it is so worth it.   We also took him to the doctor for his 4 month checkup and things look perfect.  He is just as perfect as can be and his doctor is very happy with this development.
