Holy Cow! (or Penguin)

Today Tyler is one year old!

I think I know how dogs feel now that one year felt to me like 7. I'm writing this just a few minutes before 3:58 the moment he was born. Much has changed in that year
  • Then: 2lb 13.8 Oz Now: 19lb > 6.5 times heavier. Uncle Tim suggests a party when he has cleared 10x his birth weight (~28 lbs). Rachel will be 95 lbs before she is 10x her birth-weight!
  • Then: 14.5" Now: 29" exactly double! Odd side note--From the back of his neck to the bottom on his bum it measures a 1/2 inch short of his birth length.
  • Then: 9 tubes, wires, Now: nothing!
This boy can grow!

Early Intervention has been on us to get Tyler to push up with his arms.



He's come along way! He's almost able to to pull those legs under him himself. If you put him on all fours, he can stay there and rock.



To think in a year we have come such a long way! Go Tyler!
