"It's 4:30; time for milking."

Some of you may know this movie quote...(any takers?)
And yes, it's 4:30 in the morning, and I've been up with my baby since 3. He's actually quite pleasant (and wide awake) now that he's been fed and burped and diaper, changed twice. I, however, was starving and thought I better replenish the milk wagon. Some of you have been asking for more recent photos of Tyler...I guess that will have to wait until I upload them from the camera. He is as big as ever, continuing to grow. Another mommy I know has a 3-month-old son, and wanting to compare our boys' sizes, took a photo of them together . They're basically the same size! I'm not surprised, really, since I just put away his 0-3 month sized clothing (they typically go up to 12 lbs.). I don't know what Tyler currently weighs (he was 11 lbs. 4 oz. at his 2-wk check-up and he's about a month old now!), but he seems to be long in the torso. So even though the clothes were long enough to his toes, they often weren't long enough to his bum. What good does a onesie do if you can't snap it over the diaper? Well, Tyler is fussing now...better go help him...and see if I can get more sleep!

No idea on the quote origin.

You have a very sweet baby...pictures are always great :)

You are awesome! "Keep on keepin' on" (you know where that comes from, right :)....)

Love you!

The tiredness is the worst. It seems like I was tired for twently years. But somehow you'll survive. And he'll start sleeping through the night which is HUGE. Ah, the price we pay for these wonderful little people! I'm proud of you!
