My Second Trip: Louisiana

Mr. and Mrs. Kyle and Miriam Krober

This weekend we got to go to Louisiana for the Krober/Tyndall wedding. Daddy was a groomsmen. It was a quick trip. but we had a great time and I slept pretty well for being out of town. We left Friday morning and arrived in New Orleans at about 4:00pm, just in time to drive to Baton Rouge, get daddy changed and to the rehearsal. After a slight detour that the GPS took him and Grandpa on, he made it in time to get instructions for the wedding and head back to the hotel for the rehearsal dinner. I took a little nap while we waited for him. I did well on the airplane on the way there. I slept a little while and played with daddy for a while. I got to stay up a little later than usual to go to the rehearsal dinner.
The next day was the wedding, but it wasn't until 6pm, so we got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Knight. We went to lunch at BJ's with all the Krober family and then went back and went swimming in the pool. Look at the trick that Grandpa taught me:) Then, we went to the wedding. Mommy had fun running around taking pictures while Grandpa played with me in hallway during the wedding. We went to the reception afterward and I spent time with my friends Sophia and Brooke. I got really tired and cried because I wanted to go to bed.
On Sunday morning we got up and headed to New Orleans. We stopped at a plantation on the way, called Nottoway. It was huge. Grandma and mommy took there own un-guided tour, which they found out later they probably were not supposed to do. They had fun though. They walked around taking pictures and finding hidden passageways.
After the stop at the plantation we were on our way to the French Quarter. I was so tired and screamed for about 1/4 of the trip. I finally fell asleep about 30 minutes from New Orleans and slept for about 2 hours in the car seat. I did not even see Burbon St., or any of the neat architecture in the French quarter. I missed the fried shrimp, gumbo and crawfish. I woke up in just enough time to get back in the car and head to the airport. The trip home was a little rough for me. I did not want to sleep or eat. I just wanted to move around. Daddy wasn't feeling well and mommy was tired, but they played with me. When we got to the car at the airport I feel right asleep at 9:30 and did not wake up when mommy moved me to my crib. I was home safe after a fun filled weekend in Louisiana.

So in love!

I was putting Tyler to bed tonight and was thinking about how much I love him. I did not know that I could love a person so much. Before I met Dave there was my family..I did not know I could love anyone more than them. Then I met Dave....I did not know I could love anyone more than him. Then Tyler came into being. I just love cuddling with him. I love it when he falls asleep in my arms and I put him up on my shoulder and he snuggle into my neck. I don't want to put him down. Every time he smiles and laughs I just light up inside. I am so blessed to have such an amazing little boy. I look at him and I wonder how do people not believe that there is a God. He is such a beautiful creation.
Today was special. I went with Paul Kim to visit his Grandma who will is 93 years old. She asked if she could hold Ty, with my help. So we did, she immediately started praying for him. I don't speak Korean, but I know that is what she was doing. I could tell from her passion that she was filled with the Holy Spirit. She prayed, even prophesied for Tyler that he would be like Samuel. Samuel was a prophet and a wise leader from the Bible. His mother and father dedicated him to the Lord after having a hard time conceiving(which is actually what Dave and I had done after months of trying ourselves). When Samuel was a child, he heard the voice of the Lord speak to him. As an adult, Samuel played an important part in uniting the tribes the Philistines. Samuel anointed Saul and David, who were both men after Gods own heart and that he used in a great way to change humanity for the better. I hope that God will use Tyler in that way, so we echo the prayer of Paul's grandma, that God would use Tyler to further His Kingdom, spread the love of Christ, and bring peace on earth.

So Tyler is getting pretty strong and daddy taught him to do pull ups on his Boppy toy.







This is what happens when daddy and Tyler do laundry together...

6 Months Old already

Tyler is 6 months old. He is not a newborn anymore. He is full of life and smiles. His new thing is that he loves to suck on his feet. He is sitting up pretty well. He still wobbles and falls over sometimes if you don't sit there and help him balance. The little red outfit he is wearing in the picture was daddy's outfit when he was little.

A little while back we decided to start using cloth diapers. Above is a pic of Tyler in his new Thirsty diaper. We found them on Amazon.com. We really like them. A lot less trash...easy to do...a little cheaper than disposables...they leak less...less diaper rash and better for the environment. We are using a diaper service called Dy-Dee Diaper. They come pick up the pre-fold diaper inserts once a week and bring us a new bag of them. The covers come separate and you buy them. All in all, we are happy with our decision to switch to cloth.


Mommy's birthday is coming up and she got a patio set for the balcony. Her and daddy have enjoyed many nights at home and thought it would be nice to be able to eat outside. Last night was the first time. It was perfect.

The Boyz

Tyler is so blessed to have two close friends already. This is Ethan (left) and Clayton (right). Ethan is 9 weeks old and Clayton is 6 weeks. These are his little chubby buddies. They hung out today and we thought it would be the perfect time for a photo opp. Mommy is good friends with their mommies. Tyler and Ethan went swimming today with their matching shirts, thanks to Elizabeth. Since they can't wear sunscreen until after 6 months, she bought them these SPF 50 shirts. They are great since the sunscreen washes off and these don't:)

Yum Yum

We decided it was time to start little "yak yak" on some solid foods. He was acting more hungry than usual. He was watching us intently as we ate and he is 6 months now. He is gettin gused to the idea, but not real excited about it yet. Tonight he seemed to like it more, because we gave him sweet potatoes instead of rice cereal. Who likes the taste of plan rice anyways? Next..avocado..in a week.
