Weekend at Home

We had a low-key weekend at home for once (thank goodness)! Dad finished up his rotation of working nights, so we're thrilled to be on the same sleeping schedule again- it was lonely without him. Tyler is doing much better than he was earlier this week. Though he still has a lingering runny nose and cough, at least the green goop is gone and the purple under the eyes has faded (from the sinus infection- who knew babies got purple bags with sinus infections, the way adults get dark bags when sleep deprived)??

We don't have much fun to report. Mom got a flu shot (Tyler to follow once healthy again). Tyler and mom went to the farmer's market Saturday morning and bought lots of local veggies, baked goods, and pastas. We'll have to go back on another Saturday when dad can go with us- it was fun, but not as cool as Lexington's farmer's market :( OH- and on Sunday, we (the adults) stained and sealed the back deck... the big accomplishment for the weekend!

Mostly we spent the weekend wiping snot and practicing standing up. It is by far Tyler's favorite thing to do- he gets so excited and proud of himself!!

Chewing on the sippy cup (water is no fun to drink) while standing up

This looks like we're having WAY more fun than we actually were. Tyler's not so sure about his new horsey toy. Probably because his legs aren't quite long enough to both touch the ground on either side, so his balance is very iffy. He definately can't be more than a few inches away from us while on this for now!!

Only one leg touching the ground, making balance very uncertain. He can't stand up at all on his own yet, horse or no horse!! Note dad's foot in the background, ready to lurch in as he falls (which he did).

Happy to be standing, and still loving the exersaucer.

Again, favorite trick. If only we could do this without constant help. It makes mom's arm exhausted by the end of the day.

Yup... still standing :)
