Fair Time

Ahhhh...the Bloomsburg fair! Another sign that Fall is here! We spent the entire day at the fair on Saturday and had a great day with some not so Fall like weather - it was hot! We ate a lot of good food, visited with the cows, pigs and sheep and spent some time playing in the front yard of the historic house exhibit. At one point we had a half naked baby as part of the exhibit when Tyler crawled away as I was changing his diaper - hopefully this roll, squirm, crawl away stuff during diaper changing is just a phase! It's like he wants to yell "We're going streaking" as he does it he's so happy and proud as he runs away from us :) While we were playing he was standing without holding on to anything and he took a step! Yep, just one, but life may start to get a lot more interesting pretty soon! :)

Lazy Sunday

We've been working on waving for a while now and today Tyler waved to the neighbors as they pulled out of their driveway and they were yelling Hello to him and he yelled right back it was too cute!

This past week Tyler managed to eat a "bush" or at least that's what Dave described it as. He started choking on it (I guess the "bush" was a bit dry) and Dave had to turn him over and give him the ole' whack on the back to get it out...or I guess in b/c he ended up swallowing whatever it was. Thank goodness I wasn't home I'm not ready for this yet! Remnants of the leaves he ate today are still on his chin in the picture below. I'm not sure how he manages to sneak these by us in to his mouth, but we're pretty sure he has a small forest in his belly. I'm sure a long, long time ago people probably ate leaves and trees to survive - it's gotta be good for the digestive system :)

Back to Reality

Our unrealistic world started almost 3 weeks ago when my Mom came down to watch Tyler for the week b/c we're switching day cares and had 2 weeks off in between. She had dinner on the table every night, laundry was done, beds were made and the house was cleaned. Then came the long labor day weekend and after that Dave and I jetted off to Colorado to go to our friends wedding while Dave's parents watched Tyler for the week. Everything was perfect - the bride and groom were happy and beautiful, wonderful weather, gorgeous setting and we had an awesome time with friends. We rented a cabin in the middle of the mountains, drank mimosas in the hot tub overlooking the Rockies, laughed, danced, drank more and laughed some more. Good times!

By time Saturday came we were ready to see the big guy and it made it worse b/c he got sick and Dave's parents had to take him to urgent care. Not that he wasn't in good hands, but of course I'm going to worry about him no matter what! We got home Sunday and he ended up having a sinus infection and fever (that lasted for days) and then developed an ear infection...back to the doctor on Tuesday...a little stronger antibiotic and upping the Tylenol dosage and he's on the road to recovery. Dave and I were alternating taking days off of work and his Mom ended up coming down to watch Tyler so we could both go to work. She came armed with dinner for the next 2 nights asking what we needed done around the house and again we had a clean house with beds made and dinner on the table - Dave and I have the BEST parents ever! Thanks guys! Tyler is finally feeling better other than a little stuffy nose and and we're so happy b/c it was terrible watching him be sick. I'm positive this won't be the last time we go through this, but hopefully you get a little more use to it as time goes on. :(

You know he's feeling better when the tupperware drawer looks like it threw up



There's something about the dishwasher that Tyler loves and he makes a B line for it every time you open it and then he yells at you when you close it

Labor Day

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Spent time with our families, ate lots of bad for you food all weekend long and went to my church picnic on Sunday. Homemade food, polka music, seeing old friends, cheap beer, fall weather...doesn't get much better than that :)

Football season is here - touchdown!!
