I'm Three Weeks Old

We've definitely settled into the parent routine of taking tons of pictures of Tyler. It seems like whenever we're at home we have the camera nearby to capture the next new thing that he does. We're still waiting to get a picture of him smiling, which he does from time to time, but we're always a second too late. I got a new camera from Grandma Ching for my first Father's Day, so we're looking forward to taking a lot more pictures to post for all of Tyler's friends and family.

It was great having Grandma here for the past week, along with Uncle Gavin who came up from San Diego and Uncle Nate who drove down from San Francisco a few times for dinner. We were able to catch up on some sleep, got several home-cooked meals and learned a lot. It was also a lot of fun watching Tyler bond with Grandma.

My First Two Weeks at Home

Tyler's first two weeks home have been filled with a lot of new experiences for us. From changing a lot of diapers to feeding him every couple of hours, it's been an amazing adventure so far. The lack of sleep does hit us from time to time, but it's definitely worth it.

We've also taken him out of the house several times to run errands. So far, he's been to Valley Fair, Safeway, Babies-R-Us, Target and even the farmer's market at Santana Row. He's slept comfortably in his car seat the entire time, which has made these trips easy for us, so far.

His umbilical cord also fell out yesterday, so we're looking forward to giving him his first tub bath tonight.

We also want to take a moment to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to come and visit Tyler in the hospital and at home and also to those who brought over lunch and dinner for us. We feel so fortunate to have such wonderful friends in our lives and for Tyler to have such terrific Aunties and Uncles.
