Tyler on he Prowl

We haven’t had too many times taking Tyler out of the house, but here are a few.

We go walking with Tyler. We drop him in the stroller (okay, we gently place) and go out for a stroll, usually while he’s asleep. I already wrote about taking him out and feeding him and burping him while on the road. We generally try to keep him covered, but he gets a little bit of sun, which should help him keep his Vitamin D at proper levels and keep away the dreaded rickets. I don’t actually know what rickets is, but I’m told it is kept away by Vitamin D, also present in the formula he gets.

The first time we took him properly ‘out’ was actually to the store. I wanted to get a few things (we are pretty well stocked, we still have a lot of frozen dinners available) and Tyler was asleep so Jess decided we’d take him out and see how it went. It went well, he was asleep pretty much the whole time, and we just propped him up in the cart, kept our eyes (and hands) on him, and went about our business.

Jess and I had a date night last night where we left Tyler ALONE with grandma for the first time last night. We went to Cheesecake factory, which always seems to have people dressed up for prom going there, and this night was no different. Lots of prom dresses. The service was a little slow (and profusely apologized for) but I didn’t mind at all: we had plenty of time to stare at Jessie and chat about how happy I was. It was a nice outing.

Then today we went out for dinner with the whole family, Tyler included. He was asleep the whole time, but the rest of us got some burgers and fries and it was great. He really is a pretty great sleeper.

Sometimes he has difficulty eating because he tries to put his hands in his mouth.
