This month has brought a lot of change for Tyler. He is much more awake and alert (which is why my blogging has decreased so significantly!) and he is smiling and laughing a lot more! He's been pretty good about sleeping at night, usually only getting up once to eat. He enjoys sitting up on the couch or sitting on someone's lap. Mom went back to work on Wednesday, January 7th so Tyler got to spend some quality time at home with Dad for 3 days. Then on January 12th, Tyler started his first full week of day care. It's been a time of transition for all of us but Tyler is doing great with it.

Tyler is actually at his Grandma and Grandpa Ellsworth's right now for the weekend because Mom got the flu on Thursday night and didn't want Tyler to catch the bug (Dad had it on Monday and still isn't feeling 100%). He'll get to meet his Great-Grandma and Grandpa Ellsworth from Wyoming today. We are going to Morris tomorrow so we can spend some time with the grandparents and to pick up Tyler (we miss him tons!). Hopefully we'll all be healthy by that time.

Since I didn't really get the chance to blog much this month, I am posting a plethora of pictures to enjoy! The first pictures are from right before Christmas and then the last ones are from this week. You can tell just how much he's grown in those 3 weeks.
