A Busy Weekend!

This has been an event-filled weekend! First, my repaired highchair finally came in, so I got to eat in there for the first time. I like it, and Mommy does too because she doesn't have to bend over to feed me like she did when I ate in the swing!

Then, on Friday night, I went to the mall with Mommy and her friend Lauren, and my friends Brennan and Cristiana. Then they came over to play and eat pizza. Their Dad came too. Brennan is about three weeks younger than me and we had so much fun! We rolled around on my playmat (Brennan has less junk in the trunk than I do, so he can already flip BOTH ways! What a big boy!) and played in my excersaucer!

Then, on Saturday, we went out to see Mommy's cousin Megan and Ava! Mommy forgot to take her camera, so we don't have pictures of that. But Ava ate cheerios and I layed on her playmat, and we both watched Elmo! Mommy and Megan ate Chick-Fil-A and yummy cake, and just talked and talked. Those two wouldn't shut up! And then when we got home, Uncle Randy and Aunt Becky and Cousin Travis came over! They hadn't seen me in a while and were amazed at how dashingly handsome I have become. Of course I know I'm handsome. Mommy tells me everyday!

And then finally, today around lunchtime Mommy took me on my first BIG BOY stroller ride! I got to face forward for the first time and I loved it! It was such a nice day (although a little windy) and I looked around at the sky and the trees. A couple doggies stopped to lick me too!

And now, as Mommy types this, I am passed out in my crib. I am one tired boy after all this action!

He Has More Than One Outfit, I Swear

Seriously, how many times has this kid been photographed in the blue striped onesie? Ridiculous! We do really like that outfit cause it's so soft, but Mommy is going to make a concentrated effort to branch out. It'll probably only fit for a couple more weeks anyway.

Btw, I've been finding lots of ways to entertain myself lately. Some of them involve paper towels.

Also, Gabe and Kelsie came to visit us for Valentine's Day. We went up to Breckenridge and it was really fun! Mom and I stayed at the house with Kim and Sam while everyone else went skiing, but we still had a very good time. I've started to notice my surroundings so I don't sleep very well when we're away from home, but I crashed and slept the whole way home in the car.

And that's about it from the Knoche household this week. We're so exciting.

Feet Are Awesome!

My new fave thing to do is hold on to both of my feet. I may or may not chew on them every once in a while. Feet are way cool.

I'm also working on sitting up. I sat up today by myself for 30 seconds. I'm getting to be such a big boy. It makes Mommy kind of sentimental.

Gramette left today. WE ARE SAD!!!!!!! But we'll see her soon at Easter. Grandpa has promised us the Golden Egg and we are pumped!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, and I forgot. I'm eating bananas now too. I heart me some bananas.

Ear Update

Tyler appears to be feeling better. He's sleeping again--halleluah!!!!!! That pink stuff works! Although it gives the boy a nasty diaper rash......no pics today, but just thought ya'll would want to know that he's better :)

In other news, Gramette is coming tomorrow! Tyler is beside himself with excitement and in anticipation of being held ALL weekend!!!!!!!!

Two Firsts

Happy First--sweet potatoes! Loved em. Have eaten them a couple times now.

Yucky First--ear infection! Hate it. Mommy slept about 30 minutes last night because she was up dealing with me--I wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, nothing! But I didn't run a temperature until this morning, and then she knew something was wrong. So I went to the doctor and got some medicine. It's interesting because the pediatricians have actually adopted a "wait and see" policy with all ear infections (as in, no antibiotics unless the infection is really severe) but that policy doesn't apply to kids under six months. And since I am a lowly five months, I get the pink stuff twice a day. And Tylenol as often as my crabby self requires it!!!!!!!!!

Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy

I keep trying to get a good picture of him in his bouncer and he keeps turning away from me! I finally got him to look back at me though! He loves his bouncer too, of course! This kid is so mellow he'll hang out wherever I put him......where did he come from?????
