7 Weeks

Things are starting to slow down a little after the holidays. We had a great time over Christmas spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Knight, Aunt Christy and Uncle Tony and Great Uncle Steve. Tyler was so excited he did not sleep very well. When they left, that night he woke up every 15 minutes-30 minutes for 3 hours straight. He is doing better now sleeping 3-4 hour stretches at night, but he misses everyone. He went to his first Christmas Eve service. Today, we went to the Rose Parade and he slept through the entire thing:) Our friends Adam and Becca brought their daughter Sophia over for New Years and we all went together.
We had a big milestone this last week. Tyler smiled for the first time!! It was adorable. He did it for Aunt Christy and Dave. I have seen him do it numerous times since then.
Tyler is 7 weeks old today. We have our second "well baby" visit next week. We have big decisions to make regarding Tyler and vaccinations. Please pray for us, as we want to do what is best for him. It is a tough decision. Also, if you have any wisdom to share with us, please do so.
As the holiday season comes to a close I have been reflecting on the blessings in our life. This year was so special with the birth of Tyler. I am so thankful for this wonderful gift we have been given. He really is a miracle and a blessing!
