Doctor's orders: Milkshakes


Last Friday I took Tyler to his 2 year check up. The doctor said he looked great. She first told me I could switch him onto 2% milk until she had me undress him.....and she said, "Well let's keep him on whole milk for another 6 months." She looked at the charts and said he was 6 lbs underweight for his age, falling off the charts....he weighs only 23 lbs. So she told me to feed him mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza.....which are all the things I have been feeding him because this is not the first time that I heard he was small..... he is just a small guy- I mean look at Robert, he weighs nothing too! The doctor did have him run and she said she has never seen a 2 year old run as fast and as well as Tyler did. I told her that could be part of his weight problem, because all he does is RUN around all day long. So I will be making Tyler milkshakes everyday per doctors orders (and hopefully I don't gain 6 lbs too!)
Tyler had his birthday party and had lots of fun with all his friends. This year he understood opening up presents, so he now attacks them and goes through them very quickly! Thanks to all who thought of Ty on his birthday, you made it great!
In other news.....I am on the makeup and hair committee for Amber's next show- Seussical..... meaning I have to attempt "Who hair". This is not an easy task especially since I am not a hair person! If anyone has any ideas I am open to hearing them! If you are in the area and want to see the show, let me know and I'll get you a ticket. This is going to be the best show yet, there is some amazing talent and I am blown away when I hear them rehearse!

Christmas in Virginia

Well I have been pretty busy throughout the holidays....therefore the late post! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that the New Year is starting out wonderful and will continue to be!

I tried to buy less gifts this year (which I did) BUT I still ended up spending the same amount that I did last year! Oh well, maybe next year! Me and RObert did get a few gift....a steam cleaner and new blinds for the house- which we just ordered! TYler has destoyed the mini blinds so we are going for something that can withstand his wrath! Here are a few photos of our Christmas.
Amber got lots of clothes and cds.
