Relaxing Saturday

I know that I have like a million posts to catch up on. It really is hard when you have someone demanding most of your attention. However, now that Tyler is crawling, I really am liking the new found Mommy independence. I am not ready for the walking though.

Today was our first weekend home in 6 weeks. We thoroughly enjoyed napping with Tyler throughout the day and playing with him. Jeremy took him for a walk right after lunch. And since it was around 90, we decided to try out Tyler's new sprinkler pool. It was a hit. See the pictures below.

And since Tyler was being so good tonight after we got home from eating Mexican, Jeremy shared a little of his blizzard. The first bite wasn't a hit, but the 6th and 7th bites were.

It is 9:30 right now and the house is completely quiet. Hubby and baby are sound asleep. Mommy likes!

Beach Pictures

These are just a few. The others are on a CD that I need to get off, but Jeremy spent a lot of time with Tyler in the pool during our vacation as you can see below.

Where in the South We Have Been

This is going to be a long post if I can help it. So with the past month we have been busy celebrating many birthdays, especially Jeremy’s 30th Surprise Birhtday party.

Below are some of the pictures of the family, friends and decorations at our house. Jeremy was truly surprised.

The next day (June 20th) was Charlie supposed surprise party at the lake. However he found out ahead of time, but didn’t know who all would be there. Tyler was able to get in lake water for the first time. He loved it and promptly climbed up on me on a raft and fell asleep. It was the perfect weather for that trip. I will try to find some pictures for you.

June 21st was Father’s Day. Tyler gave Jeremy a card and some magnets for his cubicle at work. June 22nd was Jeremy’s actual birthday and it was pretty calm, nothing exciting.

On July 3rd, we headed out for Monticello, MS to see Jeremy’s mom’s side of the family. We had a great time with all the cousins, especially the young boys. Tyler loved being around them and watching them playing in the pool. We braved the water twice and Tyler got brave enough to put his head in the water a few times. Fearless!

On Sunday, July 5th we left MS for Thomasville, AL. Only long enough to drop Tyler off with my parents (Nini and Pops) and eat lunch. Then it was on to Sandestin with Jeremy and myself. That night we ate at one of our favorite restaurants, The Crab Trap.

Monday was a day full of torrential storms with lighting and rain. So naturally we headed to the outlets to shop. Second stop was at Fat Clemenzas. Absolutely great pizza! Later that night we made Jeremy’s official birthday dinner at Ruth Chris’s Steakhouse.

Auburn University

Great Grandparents

Bad Blogger

Many changes have been in store for the Peacocks in the past month and I am just now catching up. I will let you know that there will be more time between posts due to me having to post only at home now. Work has put a time limit on internet time, and I need that more for work than personal use. So we will take it week by week.

Back during the first of May Tyler met his great grandparents for the first time. He also had his first hotel stay. He loved every minute of them and the hotel. However we got little sleep being in such tight quarters without the sound machine to sleep with at night.

On our way back from Georgia, we stopped off at Auburn and took a few pictures of Tyler in front of the Auburn University sign and Sanford Hall. Our great friends Charlie and Brittany took the pictures for us. We also took Tyler for his first trip to Niffer's. He wasn't the best at the dinner table but okay.

Now skip a few weeks where Tyler was fussy all the time due to his new bottom front teeth. I have yet to get a good picture of those pearly whites. And then came Mother's Day where I got a porch swing and I love it!!!

Then we go back to Tyler fussy with a cold and trying to cut some top teeth which have yet to show. We took him swimming yesterday for the first time and once he was numb from the cold water, he loved it. He kicked and kicked and splashed. Which leads me to today where Tyler has slept most of the day from yesterday's fun and Jeremy with some of my help laid a palet of sod. We still need about 2/3 of another palet but that will do for now.

Pictures will be uploaded shortly.

A (Tuesday) Day in the Life of Tyler

6 - 6:30 am Wake up and take my bottle with Mommy(I do sleep later on Saturday and Sunday mornings if Mommy lets me)

6:30 - 7 am - Waiting on Mommy to finish getting herself and me ready. I get to play with a bunch of toys in her and Daddy's bed in the mornings. Sometimes I watch the news, but that is boring and I only like the pretty colors.7 – 8 am Mommy takes me to “Miss” Amy in Helena

8 am - Arrive at "Miss" Amy's house
8 – 9 am Eat Cereal & Fruit (It is hard getting a picture of me eating since I get mad if you don't feed me fast enough)

9 am “Miss” Amy & I take Brooke goes to preschool

9:30 am – 12:45 pm Run errands, play, nap, watch “Miss” Amy clean, etc.
11:30ish – Drink another bottle of 7 oz
1 pm “Miss” Amy & I pick up Brooke from preschool

1:30 – 3 pm Run errands, play with Brooke, nap, etc

3 – 4:30 pm Take bottle of 7 oz, play with Brooke, Brennan, and Brittany

4:30 – 5:30 pm Mommy or Daddy picks me up and we make the long drive back to home in lots of traffic. Sometimes I take a nap because I get bored. This time I stayed awake for the drive to the Blockers house for Bible Study, however I blinked.

6 – 6:30 pm Eat some yummy vegetables (Mommy didn't get a picture this night)

7 - 8 pm Hanging out with my friends at Bible Study (Mary Ella, Left; Anna Joy, Right). Normally I am taking my bath at this time because I get messy eating.

8 – 9 pm I finally fall asleep for the night on the way home from Bible Study...learning is exhausting.

This is what Mommy lets me do sometimes after my bath, while she is doing laundry.

Per everyone I have seen lately, I am "way behind in updating the blog." To all of you who have been harassing me, I say this laughingly, I am trying to keep you updated as best as I can. It is hard when you have restrictions on your work internet, which is when I used to post during my lunch break. So please bear with me as I try to update more after I get home after Tyler goes to sleep at night.

As a quick recap since the last post, all three of us have been sick with sinuses, allergies, and a touch of a cold. We have since recoevered and been on the go ever since. I have been on a girls's night, we have taken pictures at the Botanical Gardens, having game night with friends (the guys won this round of Pictionary), and Jeremy traveling to work to Dothan and Tuscaloosa. As for Easter, Wendy served in the nursery with 12 to 18 month olds for the main service and then we all went to the later service together. That afternoon was spent with Lynette and some of her former co-workers' families. It was a great time by all. All in all, we are just busy little bees.

In almost every snapshot, you can see the tons of drool we are battling.

Our pictures were taken by a friend of a friend Kim Davis, who is just starting her photography business. Tyler's pictures should be up within a week. http://capturedmomentsbykimblog.blogspot.com/

Travel to Thomasville

We went down to Thomasville a few weekends back for Jeremy to go turkey hunting. So far no turkeys (not counting Jeremy).

Sleeping while everyone else is getting ready for church

Having his bottom patted...his favorite pasttime

4 Month Check up 3/26/09

I realize that many have been checking the blog thanks to my new page counter and I am lacking in posting. I am having major software compatability issues and it may be another week or so before I can get it all cleared up. So keep checking back.



At the last doctor's visit for 4 month checkup, Tyler was at 15 lbs 3 oz and 25 3/4" long. He is a pretty big boy coming in around the 90th percentile for length and 75th for weight. I think he is getting his length (height) from Jeremy. As a recap, Tyler now can roll over from his stomach to his back, but can't the other way. He is sitting up almost on his own. He pulls and grabs at everything and takes it directly to his mouth. He still doesn't have any teeth, but drooling buckets. We have started giving him solids twice a day. So far green beans and squash are his favorites along with most fruits, except bananas.

Bath Time

Uh...so I have to get a bath?

SUPERMAN Pose!

I know I am handsome!

All clean now, Mommy!

Church

On Sunday we went to church. Since I didn't get any pictures before we left to church, I got a few afterwards. Needless to say Tyler was a mess and here's the aftermath.

No that isn't pee on his outfit. It is buckets and buckets of drool. He had been in his car seat and was eating his outfit.
