Eight Weeks/Two Months:
We took T. Rex out for his first big outing near the end of February. We met up with Mike and Erin and kiddos at the Denver Aquarium. We at dinner at the aquarium restaurant complete with mermaids waving to us from the fish tank and shark rice crispy treats and Landon trying to take home a piece of calamari (one of the mini squids) to keep as a pet once he found out it was a squid. Tyler spent pretty much the whole outing snuggled up in the Moby wrap asleep but Steve and I enjoyed the outing :)

Right at two months old Tyler started sleeping in eight hour stretches. His sleep patterns had been really really unpredictable at night. Sometimes he would sleep for 5 hours, others 6 or 7 or even 8 but nothing was consistent. When I told the pediatrician this at his two month appointment she told me that if he sometimes slept seven hours then he could go seven hours between eating at night- so next time he woke up after 5 hours try giving him his pacifier and see if he would go back to bed. Well I tried it that night and when he woke up at 4 am I gave him his pacifier and he went right back to sleep. The next night, same thing. Then, the next night he went 8 hours between eating. That meant I got seven hours of uninterrupted sleep! And he has rarely woken up in the night since then. Yep- I am that lucky!
These are potentially my favorite pictures of him to date. He was a preppy gangster on this night. Shirtless, pants sagged down a bit so his diaper was hanging out and a Gap hoodie. Oh ya. Big Time.
