Tyler is finally gaining some weight now that he's eating formula exclusively. At his 4 month check-up, he weighed 13 lb. 12 oz., he was 24 inches long and the size of his head is still up the 70th percentile! He had to get some shots at the doctor's office...It was so sad because he was just looking up at the nurse with a huge smile on his face, having no idea that pain was on it's way. Needless to say, the smile did not last for very long.
Tyler and I traveled AGAIN recently. A few weeks ago, we made our way up to Charleston, SC to throw a bridal shower for my sister, Joy. My cousin, Lauren, drove with us so I had some help and company. We got to Joy's house on a Thursday night, and on Friday we walked around downtown Charleston, went shopping, and had lunch with Joy, Lauren, my Mom and Aunt Linda. The shower was on Saturday, March 27th, and turned out great. Thank goodness for my Mom and Aunt Linda! They brought their dishes, linens and recipes and helped me make everything nice for Joy.
We had Joy's bachelorette party following the shower. We went downtown and ate dinner at an Italian restaurant called Bocci's, and then went out for drinks. Here are some of the girls toasting to Joy and Chris!
Lauren took some awesome pictures of Tyler while we were in Charleston and I'm so thankful:
The day before Easter, we drove down to Eastpoint for the day. He had a great day with his grandparents and great-grandma. I was able to take some pictures of Tyler with his first Easter basket full of gifts from both sets of his grandparents and his aunt.
Also new: Tyler went to the church nursery for the first time and he did great! He is still inconsistent with his sleeping patterns at night, but we have had a few really great nights, including one night where he slept 11.5 hours straight! Last night he slept for 10 hours. I have eliminated his late-night feeding and I've started giving him a bottle right before bed (usually around 7 or 8). Tyler is very playful and vocal, and today he actually laughed out loud for the first time! He has definitely come very close many times before, but hearing him laugh made me so happy. He is so sweet! Here are some pictures of our four month old chunk:
