Yep, I called it the Tyler Tour. My dad has lovingly dubbed our trips home to Lynchburg as this since Tyler was 5 weeks old. We come with so much "stuff" that it's practically like going on tour! Travis joked once that we should get yellow shirts and have "EVENT STAFF" printed on them. In any event, the Tour stopped in Lynchburg this past weekend for a visit with Grandpa, Uncle Eddie, and the rest of the gang. We left home Friday evening after we got Tyler ready for bed, and got to Lynchburg around 9:30. We had a relaxing evening, chatting with Dad and his friend Berkley, and watching Tyler play well past his bedtime. He quite enjoyed showing off and playing with everyone.
Saturday brought a visit to Uncle Eddie's house and lots of visitors at Grandpa's. Oh yeah, and oozing, runny eyes and a gunky nose. Why wouldn't he get a cold? He just got over something else. *sigh* But he was still his happy go-lucky self for the most part, so we didn't worry too much. I kind of figured that it was a side effect of the flu shot that he had gotten on Thursday. But I digress. At Uncle Eddie's, we got to see a very big dog, named Riley. Tyler wasn't too sure about a dog of this size, but the dog really seemed to like him! Tyler was more interested in "reading" Eddie's paper.
Back at Grandpa's, we were visited by Sarah English, a dear old childhood friend, and her husband Steve. This was their first time meeting Tyler and the boy didn't disappoint. He proudly showed off all his tricks, including his newest attempts at crawling. It's more of a backward shuffle, but it looks like he'll be on the move soon! Guess we'll need to start babyproofing! As kind of a side note, it's been pretty difficult for me not to get a little discouraged that Tyler hasn't been a babe on the move yet. I talk to many other mommies with babies around Tyler's age, and most of them are scooting around all over the place. But I try to remind myself that all babies are different. Different milestones, different babes. All in good time. I know in a few short weeks, I'm going to look back on this post and laugh and wish that he was still immobile!!!! But we also had the Radicks and Hamrics over for dinner, as well as Berkley and her daughter, Grace. They brought Tyler an adorable toy, his very own pirate ship! It's a new favorite around the house now. We all had a great night and it was a beautiful evening for a cookout.
Sunday was lunch with Nana and Grandaddy and once again, Tyler worked hard to put a smile on everyone's face, even though you could tell that he was very tired and starting to feel the effects of the newest cold that had set in. He finally caved and took a nice nap on Nana's chest. The ride home wasn't bad at all, as he slept the majority of the way. He most certainly needed it. At home, we noticed that his eyes were really "gooey" (sorry, no better word for it), but he wasn't running a fever, so we didn't do anything about it. We ended up taking him BACK to the pediatrician on Monday though, as it seemed that the "goo" was starting to bother him, and we wanted to rule out pink eye. No pink eye, just a cold or possible bacterial infection. They are running some tests on the "goo" to find out. In the meantime, we have him on Augmentin. If it turns out to be viral, we will take him off the antibiotic. But the doc reassured me that there's nothing wrong with him getting these illnesses so often and that we are doing everything right. He just seems to be a little more susceptible. Oh fun. But he seems to be doing better (again, knock on wood). But we have a couple of busy weeks ahead. Visitors this weekend, visitors next weekend, and Halloween coming up! Can't wait to show you guys the costume!!!!!
