Zoo!

Graham and I popped over to the zoo for the afternoon on Monday. It was a perfect afternoon, 60 something degrees, and the zoo was empty, no waiting! Our zoo has a brand new baby elephant, but he is only out for a few hours each day, and we missed him this visit. Plenty of time this summer to see him! Graham loved the aquarium this visit. I got some cute pictures of him in awe of the fish!

Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to Yaya!

The boys spent the afternoon hitting whiffle golf balls across the driveway to each other.

Hmm....which club for this shot?

Daddy working on Graham's grip.

Sadly, I didn't get any pictures with me and my guys on Mother's Day. Oh well. It was a fun day. I got a nice breakfast in bed, and plenty of fun family time. A perfect day! Though next year I want a picture with Graham!

Relaxing while Mama gets ready...

Touch-A-Truck!

The Tylers went to the Touch-A-Truck event today. It was pretty cool, every kind of big truck imaginable was on display for little ones to go in, sit on, honk horns, you name it! Graham thought it was pretty cool, and had a great time. He was a little concerned with all the honking horns, but overall it was a fun event! I was shocked at how big it was, and how many people were there. I have never seen so many minivans and SUVs in one parking lot in my life! The only drawback was there was no school bus, Graham's absolute favorite thing to point out on the road.

Bye Bye Uncle Nick:(

Uncle Nick is moving to Washington D.C. this week. We will miss him, but know he will be having fun in a new place, and starting a new job!

Out to Lunch!

Someone joined the clean plate club!

16 Months old today....but it was a hard day:(

Today has been a hard day for Graham. He went to bed last night with a cough, and woke up this morning wheezing and coughing, and really having a hard time breathing. We went to the pediatrician ans she confirmed that he wasn't feeling well. Seems as though he has a little virus which had turned into a bit of an asthma-like attack. I had asthma as a kid, and still get attacks under certain conditions, and it seems like Graham may be following suit. A lot of kids get asthma issues when they get colds, viruses, etc. Only time will tell us if this is a pattern to expect in the future, but if I were to bet, I would say so. The worst part was at the doctor they gave him an levalbuterol breathing treatment. These do not hurt, I had plenty as a kid, but they do make you really jittery, which I always hated. The other issue, with a baby, they have to wear a mask to get the medication. The nurse brought in the machine, gave us instructions to keep the mask on no matter what for at least 10 continuous minutes. She warned us that he would hate this, and it would be hard for us to watch. She wasn't kidding. I was in tears, Pat held his arms down, I held Graham and held the mask to his face. It was a long, long 10 minutes listening to Graham scream, cry, flail, and just be so incredibly sad. He felt better afterwards, but was so exhausted from the episode, he fell right asleep. Anyway, we have to now do this every 4 hours for at least the next day and see how he is doing. The first time we did it at home, he was still really upset, but was able to listen to Pat read books as I held him. Before bed tonight, I was able to do it myself as he calmed down and was less scared. I am hoping tomorrow is a better day.
