My Mom and Alex watched Tyler for us on Friday night so Dave and I could have a night out! We went to see Phish in Camden with a few friends – it was our “you finally bought a house” celebration. The show was pretty good and it was nice to have a night out and about. Of course going out for the night now means when you return home you still have to be Mommy and Daddy and function on very little sleep because Tyler doesn’t care if we were out or not…when he’s ready to start his day that means we are too!!

We finally closed on our house last Tuesday and are officially homeowners!! Barely awake and after a 2 pots of coffee we started moving on Saturday. We had lots of help from our family which was awesome and we’re trying to get some stuff moved over to our new house while keeping enough in the old house so we could still live. Things have been so hectic here and there’s lots of stuff to do before we move in. Mr. Fix It has already made about 25 trips to Lowe’s. I think he should start working there in his spare time so we can get a discount. His newest endeavors include learning how to dry wall, fixing the water line on our fridge, getting the swing set power washed so we could put stain on it this weekend and getting everything ready to paint. My newest endeavors include swinging on the swings with the little guy, chit chatting with neighbors and finding out that we can walk to an ice cream shop – bonus! I'm sure we will wear the path out :)

We love our new house and a ton of neighbors have come over and introduced themselves to us – everyone is so nice! The guy next door has already offered up the tools in his garage to Dave and told him to use whatever he needs. It feels like a close knit neighborhood and I’m so happy b/c that’s the kind of neighborhood I grew up in and I would love for Tyler to be able to have the same experience! We already found him a friend and hear there's lots of other kids to run around (and get in trouble) with – can’t wait (ok, maybe I can wait on the get in trouble part)!

Here’s what Tyler has been up to. He thinks it’s funny to stand on the couch and then fall in the pillows! We also had to put the bumper back up in his crib b/c he kept getting his legs stuck in the rails and would end up crying in the middle of the night and we'd have to go free him - he's a wiggle worm! And I think we have our first attachment...he loves cuddling with his little blue blanket we usually let him have it for a little while in his crib, but then have to take it away b/c he also loves to cover his face up with it and it freaks me out!
