All good things must come to an end

Today was a jam packed day for the Tylers.  We started the day off with breakfast tacos from Rudy's.  Amelia and Maria went to Locomotion, a local jumpy gym. Cal and I stayed home and watched the USA Men's basketball team win gold.  Both kids took a long nap simultaneously, which is unheard of in our home.  For dinner we went to Hyde Park Bar and Grill, where for the first time we put Cal in a high chair, which he took to immediately.  For dessert we had some ice cream at Amy's.  I like Amelia's homemade ice cream the best, but Amy's will do in a pinch.  When we got home, the closing ceremony for the London Olympics was on TV.   Maria loved the music and spent much of the telecast showing off her elite dance moves.

You got served

So far two has been a fun age.  Maria does have moments where she can be a real terror and we do experience the rolling on the ground screaming fit a little more often than we would like.  For all the frustrating moments there are ones like this where she decides to put a swim diaper on her head and dance. 

Singing and dancing

I believe the answer to sustainable renewable energy source must be associated with a two year old.  After a pizza dinner Maria bounces and sings for the camera.  I love the look Cal is giving her in the background.

The house is oddly empty tonight. My family left to return home. My mother boarded a train this morning for Fort Worth. Tony made his flight back to Burbank. It was really nice to have them here because as the saying goes "many hands make for light work".

It feels like we have turned a corner with little bug. She is now waking up every 3 hours to be fed and because of it she is generally much less fussy. She is giving us a smile every now and then which makes it much easier to deal with her difficult moments.

Tonight, Bug, Amelia and I danced to Ima Bee by the Black Eye Peas. Bug shakes her arms wildly in typical newborn fashion, but it looks like she is dancing. Amelia listened to that song alot when Bug was still in the womb so whenever we hear it on the radio we feel like we have to dance.

I took half the day off, The Tyler Family had a good day today.
