One More Week Before March For Babies Walk #3!

When I was born, I weighed only 2 pounds and 13.5 ounces.  I was 5 weeks old in this picture with many of my scary tubes and wires off me.  This is the first picture with my new penguin friend to help my friends who could not visit me in the hospital realize how tiny a 3 pound baby is. 

  

 This will be Tyler's 3rd year with walking March For Babies in Lebanon, NH.  He spent just about 2 months in the Intensive Care Nursery at Dartmouth-Hitchcook Medical Center. Since then he has blossomed into the kindest, most fun loving kid you will ever meet.

 With out the support and research that the March of Dimes provides, Tyler's and many other premature babies would have very different stories.  Our walk in only a week away.  So please hope for a dry day and support us in our 3rd Walk!

Starting to get ready for the walk!

Alright!  Snow!  Yippee!  Hurray!!!

Well Hello all!  We are all doing well and just enjoying a good moment.  Everyone is well and happy.  Tyler is growing like a weed and changing into an energetic little boy with a love of all things trucks.  He's got an amazing vocabulary and usage of what each truck does and why it does it.  He pretty much plays, dreams, and lives for looking at trucks, trains, construction equipment and garbage trucks.  No question, He is a boy.

We are starting to get ready for the Upper Valley March for Babies walk in Lebanon on May 12th.  We are all going, most likely this will be the last year for our little red wagon.  So cheer us on and help us out please!

Lolly Pops.

This week has been dealing with runny noses, ear infections, and fevers.  So how else to brighten a sick child's day other than with a lolly pop.

What normal looks like.

We have had a really busy summer.  Doing normal, busy summer things.

Click me to see what normal looks like.


Our wonderful librarians caught us in the act of normal last week.  Let me tell you, it feels great!

Here are more acts of normal that we engaged in over the summer.

Freezing at the top of Mt. Washington

First Day at school

Saying "Hi" to a baby chick.

Funny blue tractor rides at Storyland

Ok, so popping out of a pie is pushing normal a bit.  But hey it's normal for our kids!

Contemplating how huge crane rigs work.

Tootling around in his car at Grandpa's!

So normal has our summer been, it's been hard to write.  Which in the grand scheme of our lives, is a good thing.

Both feet off the Ground!

Big day for Tyler!  We've been working for months to get him strong enough to jump.  It's a gross motor skill that has been lagging behind a bit.

That toe is off the ground!

We do a lot of jumping around here.

Tyler had an appointment with his development team Wed of this week.  He did really well.  We should have the report in a few weeks with the specific information about how well he's doing.  Tyler also has started school and will have classes through most of the summer.  He loves it.  Goes in with out a care that I'm leaving and cries when I come to pick him up.  He is so ready for school.  With any luck, we will enjoy a very fun summer.

Big Boy!

 Happy Happy Birthday, Tyler!  I can not believe you are 3 today.  What a handsome big boy you are.

We Love to wear our PJ's like this or with just one leg up.

We had a good day.  We will officially celebrate next weekend.
