Dad's Lad

Tyler is definitely getting bigger and taller and more of a personality. He gets more and more fun each day. He now smiles quite a bit and has his two bottom teeth coming in so that causes him to be grouchy at times. I can't complain however because he sleeps well through the night and has seen month 2. We started using cloth diapers 3 weeks ago and so we do more laundry now also. At first I was a little reluctant because of the upfront cost and effort that would have to be put into it, but it will be cheaper in the long run. Lindsay is also pretty good about washing them so I don't have to do the dirty work.

Tyler is starting to giggle more and he gets his talky streaks in the morning around 9am. He is a morning person like his Dad and is always in a good mood from 7 am to 11 am. He also learned how to push himself up into the pushup position when he is on his stomach.

We went to Santa Barbara last weekend for our anniversary trip and had a fun time. It was the first time that we have been on vacation in a while and we took Tyler along for the trip. He must have known it was our anniversary trip because he didn't fuss much the whole time so that was nice. We went to Universal Studios in LA and spent 5 hours there. We had fun and I have never been there so it was cool to see how films were made and some movie history. We got Tom Cruises autograph also. Ok no we didn't but we saw were some of his movies were filmed and we cruised on a Trolly that took us around the park.

We spent the night in a Worldmark timeshare in Solvang and it was pretty nice. We arrived in the condo and they left a crib in there for Tyler and we couldn't figure out how to put the crib together. After an hour of trying to asseble this plastic/metal crib we called the front desk and they couldn't figure it out either. So we read the directions for the third time and realized that we just didn't do one step correctly so we felt dumb. So part of me wanted to complain to management that it wasn't setup correctly and the other part of me would feel dumb that it took me an hour and a half to figure it out.

We spent the night there in Solvang and went to Church the next morning. It was a cool little Danish founded city and had lots of shops with things from Scandanavia so I was a big fan.
