"Mr. T"

Now, for updates on the baby, Tyson, AKA, "Mr. T".  Tyson had been sleeping through the night at about 11 weeks old.  That lasted a week or two, and he was back to waking up once or twice each night.  Hopefully we can get him sleeping through the night again soon!  We started him on cereal about two weeks ago.  He loved it from the first spoonful!  I was hoping it would fill him up, so he wouldn't wake up during the night to eat---so far, no such luck =(

He has been rolling lots more lately.  We can lay him on the living room floor, and return 5 minutes later to find him 5 feet from the place we laid him.  It's scary to think he's mobile already!  He has also discovered that he can hold toys and put them in his mouth.  This helps keep him occupied.  Tyson doesn't really use his pacifier anymore (which makes me a little sad, because I was hoping he'd really take to it, and use it to soothe himself to sleep at night).  He has, on the other hand, really been gnawing/sucking on his fingers. (we'll see if he becomes a thumb sucker).  

He loves to watch Kayden and Tyler play.  Tyler has finally realized that he needs to be gentle with Tyson, so I can leave Tyson within Tyler's reach and not fear for his life =)  His big brothers can really get him laughing, it's so fun to watch.  

Tyson is still sleeping in his pack n play in the toyroom.  This is for a couple reasons.  #1:  there is no room in Kayden and Tyler's room for another crib and #2:  I don't want him to wake up his brothers when he wakes up during the night.  Once he starts sleeping a little better at night, we'll have to move him into Kayden and Tyler's room.  It will be tight, but we're working figuring out a creative way to make them all fit.  My plan is to have Mike build a loft for Kayden (with rails of course) and put one crib under it, to later be replaced by a toddler bed when Tyler is old enough for that.  I am just not ready to move Tyler out of his crib!  We only own one crib, but my friend Gail is going to let us use hers for Tyson.  

With the start of the new school year, Tyson also started daycare.  During the summer months when I worked at Kids Company he stayed with Auntie Mazih.  He has been doing really well.  Sharon says he is always really happy!
