Tyler and the Shrinking Teddy 3 months

you are growing up so fast.  you are one of the happiest babies i have ever known.  you wake up with a smile every morning and it carries through the whole day.  the only time you cry is when you need a diaper change or are hungry.  how did i get so lucky?  you are trying to roll over turning your head as hard as you can.  you love to chew on my fingers and have really found your voice.  you might give brady a run for his money in a couple of years.  you are sleeping pretty well as long as it is between mommy and daddy.  you love to watch your brothers and the dogs run around.  you aren't a big fan of tummy time, but i promise you, you will love it some day.  you have taken notice to your hands this month, sucking on them and staring at them all the time.  keep growing and smiling we are so lucky to have you in our life little bit.  much love, mommy and daddy, brady and logan.

Tyler and the Shrinking Cowboy Teddy 2 months

sweet baby boy.  you are growing like a weed.  never thought i would be tossing clothes that you have outgrown into the give away bin so early and no they are not newborn size either.  you have been so much fun this month.  starting to coo and smile.  you are certainly a snuggler and i soak up as much of this as i can.  you are holding up your head really well and those legs, while it doesn't surprise me since you were in my tummy, they are super strong little kickers.  you watch your brothers in pure amazement and wonder.  don't worry buddy you will be running around with them in no time.  you still wake up a lot at night, but this is nothing new to us for the smith boys have never been good sleepers.  you are by far one of my more mellow children, i can only hope that will continue throughout the rest of your life. we love you a whole lot little man keep growing and smiling.

tyler and the shrinking cowboy teddy - 1 month

it is hard to believe a month has gone by since you entered this big world.  it seems like just yesterday i heard your tiny cries in the operating room.  we finally got you back up to birth weight after 3 weeks.  you are a slow eater but are getting the hang of it now.  you do a lot of sleeping during the day and a little less than i would like at night.  i know we will get you turned around.  you are a snuggle bug.  you prefer to be close to your mama all the time.  in fact as i type this post right now you are in your bjorn snuggled against my chest.  last night you loved having your older brother brady sing to you.  you stared up at him and even cracked a couple of smiles.  we can't wait to see what this next month holds as you continue to grow.  we love you little bit.

we welcome tyler jacob

we waited so patiently for these little shoes to be filled with adorable little wrinkly feet.

this would finally make our family complete.

we welcome the newest member of our family: tyler jacob.

the sweetest little face you have ever seen, and as quiet as quiet could be.  i know in time this all will change once your older brothers have the opportunity to show you their ways.  until then we will snuggle you and love every minute of your new life.  what a blessing we have been given.  we love you little ty.
