Crib Recall

Tynan's crib got recalled. I guess the company is no longer around and there was something wrong with the bed supports and an infant death was reported. So we had to disassemble his crib and take it the the store for a refund. I know it took me a long time to get comfortable with Tynan sleeping in his own room in a crib, but I actually had a difficult time taking it apart. That crib helped return my sanity! When he started sleeping through the night and napping consistently, it was cause for celebration!

We picked out a new crib (we don't think Tynan is ready for a big boy bed just yet) and put it together, and here it is:

I sterilized the rain forest soother so much after Tynan's little "fingerpainting incident" that I was a bit worried it wouldn't work again. But no, it's still soothing along. (Phew! I already spent way too much on replacement books!)

See how much Tynan likes his new crib?

More on the Swing

Tynan figured out how to swing on the see saw!

Trucks!

5.21.10

Not long after Tynan's blue crayon period, he discovered a different painting medium. Apparently kids don't think that it stinks at this age. And it spreads so easily. He decided to spread it over his hands. And the crib. And the rain forest soother. And the blankets. And the book he insisted on bringing to bed for his nap. (Oh boy, the joys of parenthood!) Anyway, long story short, one of Tynan's favorite books got ruined during this whole thing, so we headed off to the book store to see if we could find another copy.

I couldn't find the same book, but I ended up buying Tynan six books. Four of them are Bright Baby books and he loves them! I wish I had found them sooner!

The four Bright Baby books come in a box set and they are Colors, Animals, First Words, and Trucks. Trucks is his favorite! He calls every truck in it "car." Such a cutie.

Sleepy pt. 2

Tynan loves to sleep on Daddy! Tynan has been waking up in the night about once a week or every other week. I think maybe his 2 year molars are coming in. On this day he woke up very early and we couldn't get him to sleep again. So we went about our day, and about an hour before nap time Tynan couldn't go any longer.

I'm not sure why he's holding the remote. The TV wasn't on. Is it like a security blanket or something?

I came out of the bedroom in the morning and found this. Guess Tynan wanted a little company during the night.

Swinging Along

5.8.10

Shawn was able to put up a fence so we have a private back yard. Awesome! We also got the swing set from Grandpa Bob and Grandma Doreen's house. It is pretty neat.

P.S. The whole neighborhood seemed to be blanketed with dandelions! Shawn sprayed the lawn and they all went to seed. Hopefully the fence will help keep them out.
