Gaven and Tyler first meet (video)

Gaven met "baby Tyler" for the first time at the hospital. He did so well holding him. He was extremely gentle and loving.

Welcome Tyler John

Tyler John joined us 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Despite being early, he weighed a healthy 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20 inches long. Since he was one day before 37 weeks, he is considered premature and therefore we had few extra precautions in the hospital. He also had to be under phototherapy for one night. Big brother Gaven has done extremely well with Tyler. He's very interested in helping care for him and is always holding his hand. I'm sure the two of them will be fast buds once Tyler is able to participate more.

Quick recap

Wow, hard to believe I haven't posted since Gaven's birthday. A quick update since then; Gaven is now a member of the "underwear club", his vocab keeps expanding and he'll be starting preschool after Easter. He's growing up so fast. His main obsession continues to be all kinds of trucks and the people who drive them. I find myself pointing out garbage trucks, fire trucks, etc. in the car alone sometimes. We are very lucky to have such a sweet, happy little guy.

We traveled to Palm Springs to visit my parents for our last trip before the baby. Gaven loved the plane ride and had his own seat for the first time. Cousin Lori also came to visit. The two of us, 34 and 32 weeks pregnant, took Rob out for a wild and crazy birthday.
