Watching Scotty Grow

I never thought I wanted kids until just a few years ago. On December 29, 2010, little Tyler Scott came into my life!  Now, I can't imagine my life without Tyler (and his soon-to-be brother or sister).  The past 7 months have been the happiest of my life.

Every morning Tyler wakes up around 7, and I can hear him talking to himself.  When I walk into his room and peek into his crib, he looks up at me and smiles the biggest smile, and my heart just melts. We have our little routine in the morning where we open the blinds, fix breakfast, and watch a little TV, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Every day is an adventure, not only for him but for me as well. People used to tell me about the little accomplishments their kids made, and I thought, "Yeah, yeah, big deal.  That's nice."  Now, I know different. Three weeks ago, he started to get up on all fours, but would not move. Then he could move one arm forward. Then rocked back and forth. Then he would fall forward and get up, just a little bit ahead of where he fell. The he did his own little scooting. Not really crawling, but getting to where he wanted to be in a roundabout way. Now he goes where he wants, and is getting faster every day,

Last week he started to try to pull himself up to a standing position, and now he does it all the time. About an hour ago, we saw him stand up without support for the first time, albeit for just a second or two. I can't wait to see what he does tommorrow!

As the song goes, I love just sitting there and watching him grow!
