I'm still waiting for that other tooth to come in on the bottom. I think I have another one coming in on the top too. The one on top might come in before the other one does. They sure are taking there precious 'ol time. A hamburger sounds pretty good right about now. But I guess I'll just have to wait.
I got to take my first road trip this past weekend. I went to visit my cousins, Ollie and Tori, in Peoria. I did very well. I slept most of the way and mom and dad only had to stop once for me to eat. But man was it a long trip, it took 5 1/2 hours. Once we got there it was much better. I got to stretch out and see my aunts and uncle. That first night though I didn't want to go to bed until midnight....what do you expect I slept the whole way up. On Saturday, I got to play with Ollie and Tori...well Ollie pretty much did his own thing and Tori just made me cry. She kept making these weird noises that scared me. But I got used to it and we ended up having a lot of fun. We all went out to eat and then Ollie made me a stuffed tiger and named him Ty. He's such a nice cousin. Mom and dad had to buy me a hat because it was sooo cold and windy. I also got to see my Aunt Annie and Uncle Dale. Sunday morning, we came home and I did pretty well on the way home. We stopped and ate in St Louis. But mom was in to much of a hurry because once she put me in the carseat I decided to spit up everywhere. So it took a little longer but other than that I had a great first road trip.
I've discovered I have hands...well only one. I like holding my arm straight up and looking at my hand. I haven't quite figured out what to do with it yet except chew on it. Mom always tells me I have another hand but I haven't found it yet. Maybe someday.
This is a continuation from my other webpage. I think this one is much better anyways....more pictures. For those of you who haven't seen my other webpage. Here's an update. My name is Tyler and I was born on July 27, 2005. I weighed 8 lbs 9 oz and was 22 inches long. I have had a few bumps in the road since I've been born. I was born with hydrocephalus, which means I have fluid on my brain. But, luckily there was a surgery that fixed that. I had a shunt placed in my head when I was only 4 days old to drain the excess fluid. I ended having to stay in the hospital for 3 weeks before I got to come home. Which didn't last for long. Six days later, I had to go back to the hospital because my shunt malfunctioned and I had an infection. So 2 more weeks in the hospital, which wasn't fun at all. But I got a brand new shunt and it's been working great!
So now I am 6 months old. I weigh 15 lbs 5 oz and 26 inches . I am smiling, and cooing, and laughing a little. I just got my first tooth last Saturday, which is pretty exciting. I didn't know what it was at first. I kept touching it with my finger and it kept poking me. Luckily, my parents told me it was a tooth and everything was ok. Now my dad thinks I can eat anything. Anyways, keep checking in for more updates
