4th of July

Where is Tyler at....he is that lump hiding beneath the brown blanket.

For the 4th of July, we were going to go to the Pocatello Parade downtown, but, we had a really bad night the night before and we all ended up sleeping in. Yeah. Later in the afternoon, we went to the Miles' for a barbeque and some fun. Tyler ended up playing in the sprinklers with his cousins and we adults played some serious water balloon volleyball. When it started getting dark, we went to the front yard to light some fireworks. Tyler was absolutly terrified. He hated them. We ended up just putting the boys in the car and headed to my mom and dad's since that is where we were going to sleep. They were in their backyard setting up their little blanket when we arrived and so webrought a few more out. Tyler hated it at first and would only lay under the blanket. He eventully landed on my lap and watched the fireworks through his fingers that were covering his eyes. The funny thing is that Tyler actually fell asleep midway through the fireworks.

Nasty Thrush...

A few weeks ago Jason and I got THRUSH. It is a nasty nasty, painful yeast infection. I was hurting so bad. The doctor ordered medicine for both Jason and I. He had two different kinds and I just had to take a pill once a day for 3 days. It's gone now, but I was seriously thinking it wasn't worth nursing with how bad I was feeling. I am glad it's gone. Hopefully it won't come back.

Jason

Since there is so many Tyler posts, I decided to post a few pictures of Jason. Tomarrow he will be 4 weeks old. Oh my goodness. It's gone by really fast. Not a lot has changed. He's still eating every few hours, I'm still a feeding machine. Tyler hasn't been too nice to Jason this week. We've had a lot of time-outs lately. Jason still likes his pacifier. We've already lost two and so I went to Maternal Instincts yesterday and bought 4 more. He loves being bundled up and carried around in that awesome carrier mom made me. He's been waking up more, for a few hours at a time sometimes. Needless to say, it's still an adventure here at the Miles house. We're still trying to ajust, but we're loving every minute of it.

Swing

This is a swing that Papa Miles hung under his deck. Amy got it out on Father's Day and Tyler loves swinging on it.

Family Fun Day.

This is the coolest sling ever. Mom made me one. I use it every single day. It's the best baby sling I've ever used.

Here we are enjoying our free snow cone.

This was one of Tyler's favorite thing of the day. He just rocked and rocked on this alligator teeter totter.

He also liked jumping in the jumping toys.

Making a bookmark.

Tyler is pointing at the butterfly he made....it flew and landed on his shirt.

Last Saturday we went to Pocatello's Family Fun Day. It was at Ross Park and it was FREE!! There was a bunch of booths set up and activities directed just for kids. We had a lot of fun. It was really hot though. I'm glad there was something focused just for kids we could go to.

Awesome Park

WEEEEE!!!


Tyler hates these kind of bridges. I had to help him cross it and it still took him about 5 minutes to cross. I thin he's afraid of the holes and seeing the ground.

Tyler really like this Hippo. He climbed in and out of it so many times.

This park was next to the play-land in Idaho Falls. We took Tyler to it after we went on the rides. The park has a super soft floor and some pretty cool toys. Very different from what we have here in Pocatello. We'll have to remember to go there again when we go back to Idaho Falls. The one bad thing about it is that it was super crowded.

Tautphous Park

Last week we went to Idaho Falls because I started treatments on my tatoo again. Well, we decided to take Tyler to the Tautphous Park Funland. It was way fun. He first wanted to try to go on the carousel with the horses. So, Cory put him on a horse on the outside of the carousel, but the ride worker wouldn't let Cory walk by Tyler, so Cory left and Tyler just cried. But, when he got off and watched, he kept saying "Neigh, Neigh," every time a horse would pass the fence where he was. It was funny. After the carousel, Tyler tried the train, which was a much better choice for him. He was the only kid on there and he loved it. After the train, Tyler and I went on the ferris wheel. I thought Tyler would be the one to get scared, but he loved it and I was the one to get a little nervous when we were at the top. It was so much fun. I'm glad we were able to go.

Don't cry over broken eggs....

This is what you get when you take a nursing mom and a 2 1/2 year old.




A whole carton of eggs spilled on the kitchen floor. All of them were cracked and Ty managed to get the three worst ones on the counter. I thought he went in the kitchen to get some grapes or strawberries, this is not what I was expecting to see. Funny boy.

2 weeks old

I'm a hungry little bird.

What a good big brother.

So precious.

Sleeping baby.

What a cute little baby.

A little smile.

Oh no, he's starting to wake up.

I can't believe that it's already been two whole weeks since Jason was born. He really is starting to change. He's not as swollen as he was and his umbilical cord finally fell off. He's turning into a real baby now. He mostly sleeps, eats, and poops. He's starting to walk up more in the afternoons. He likes the sun and tries to lift his head towards it when it's shining through the windows. Whenever Tyler and Cory are being loud, Jason tries to see what they are doing by leaning his head in that direction. Jason really likes to wake me up int he middle of the night though. Ecspecially when I am almost asleep. I think he senses that and then he cries for me. He likes to be held in a carrier with his ear next to your heart. He likes to be nice and snug. He doesn't really like his car seat as well as Tyler did. He likes the gumdrop pacifiers, good thing we sell them at work. They are hard to come by. And, when he's hungry, he's hungry, there is not much warning.
