I'm guessing it is way past time for another update! Ugh...time just goes by to fast!
Eric is actually growing! Yes, I know that is what kids do but for the longest time the kid just did not get taller or gain weight. Finally he has grown 2 inches and gained 2-3 pounds since June. That means he can actually fit in 2T clothing...yes he is just now going into 2T and he will be 3 in January! :) One tough decision we are making is to pull Eric out of his preschool. He will be finishing out the month of October and then we will stop for the time being. While he enjoyed it at first he really is having a hard time going lately...crying, hitting, etc. Plus I have never felt 100% comfortable at the school he is at so that was another deciding factor. Right now we will just start taking him back to playgroup and probably go to story time at the library. We will rethink it next year and go from there. A cute Eric story...as you will see in the video Eric loves this band that is on Disney Channel in the mornings called Cho Cho Soul. One day Eric was taking an especially long nap so we decided to wake him up. He just wouldn't wake up so we left the door open to his room hoping all the noise would do the trick. All of a sudden I hear him say "hi daddy". I go in to see if he is awake and he is out cold still...he then proceeds to start singing "all aboard the cho cho train...cho cho" while still sleeping! I had tears rolling down my face I was laughing so hard. It was so cute! I do believe he is obsessed!
Tyler is definitely getting a personality all his own lately! He has grown like a little weed too. I'm not sure how much he weighs since his next checkup isn't until he is 9 months old (he is 8 months old today!) but I know he is definitely getting heavy to carry! So far he has managed to get himself into a sitting position once on his own and is army crawling all over the house! Let me tell you this is when personality comes into play. He gets into Eric's toys all the time. When Eric takes them away Tyler starts screaming and fussing at him! Eric better watch out when Tyler is able to really tackle him! :) Tyler is also working on cutting his 8th tooth...yes number 8! He seems to teeth 4 teeth at a time. He gets 2 in within a day of each other and then 2 more within a week or so of that. He got his first one at 6 months and is now getting his 8th one. That is just crazy! I'm hoping that once it cuts through we can go back to getting some sleep! :) He is eating like a champ despite the teething. He still isn't a fan of fruits but will chow down on the veggies. We are starting to give him some more finger foods as well since he seems to prefer that over the baby food. Tyler's favorite pastime is to be in his bouncer and just bounce away...he just gets the biggest kick out of it. He just starts laughing while we are driving in the car...even if there is nothing funny going on. He just starts cracking up randomly. I love it...it is so funny!
Anyways...that is all the news for now. I will try and update a little more frequently so the posts aren't that long! :) I'm only going to post a few pictures here but if you want to see more you can visit our winkflash site at http://swl1109.winkflash.com/ .
