Tyler is growing by leaps and bounds! He's so stinkin cute when he smiles! He's also doing a lot of baby talk now, lots of cooing and gurgling. He's 12lbs 4oz and 22 1/2 inches now and he can hold his head up and look around really well! He can also bear weight on his legs and push up w/ his arms! The Dr's say he's very strong! He's still not sleeping through the night though...not even CLOSE! He sleeps from about 10-2 and then he's up every 2 hours after that. He makes a lot of noises frequently and seems to have a hard time getting comfortable. I feel so bad for him! I wish he could sleep easier! We've also decided to delay some vaccines, and totally eliminate others. Here is our tentative schedule, still have a bit more research to do.

Allyson just started vacation bible school and she seems to really enjoy it. Today was her 2nd day and she seems to be learning a lot. I was laughing when she told me how "this guy used a stick to make a path in the river so the bad guys wouldn't get him and his friends!" LOL! They are watching Veggies Tales and reading, playing outside, learning new songs "God is bigger than the boogie man", and they even made tie-dye shirts, painted a wooden snake and filled a pen w/ colored sand! I'm so proud of her!

Natalie is attempting to potty train. She went the whole night last night w/out peeing in her diaper (YAY!) but she REFUSES to go on the potty. She pretty much goes 1st thing in the morning in her diaper, then she puts on her big girl undies, then she stays dry til nap when I put a diaper on her. Then she goes when she wakes up (in her diaper) then big girls undies, then a diaper at bed time. There seems to be nothing in the world I can bribe her w/ to go on the potty! She's one stubborn little girl!

Here are some recent photos! Enjoy!
