Two Month Old Tyler

Hi Everyone!
Tyler went to the doctor today for his two month check-up. Tyler is 24 inches long and weighs 13.4 pounds. That puts him in the 90th percentile in height and 75th percentile in weight! Tyler is so long he quickly outgrew many of his clothes and is already wearing 6 month sizes. He also received his first set of shots, not a happy baby.

This month we have seen many changes. He started smiling, especially in the morning, which makes us happy to wake up to such a happy baby! Another thing that makes Mom and Dad happy is sleep! Tyler is now sleeping up to 6 hours through the night! Tyler's attention span has grown and he really enjoys playing underneath his activity gym. He is really taking in his surroundings and has even spotted the dogs playing. His favorite thing to do is to go on walks in his stroller and sit and swing with Mom and Dad on the back porch. He loves being outside!

Tyler took his first overnight trip to Atlanta for a family reunion. He was able to meet cousins, aunts and uncles. He was such a good baby while we were away from home.

Tyler is changing so fast and we can't wait to see what he will do next!

Love,
Celeste, Jason and Tyler

Tyler's First Month!

This past month has flown by so fast! Tyler has changed so much over these past few weeks! Tyler weighs in now at 11 lbs and 3 oz. Our arms are getting a workout! As our pediatrition said, we want him nice and plump! We are hitting that target, look at that chin! For the most part, Tyler has been a really good baby. He has already earned his first nickname as Mr. Tooters. It is what you're thinking! He only gets us up once during the night for his feeding. He loves swinging in his swing and being outside. We are thinking that he will have strong arms because he is constantly moving them, even in his sleep! He already had a strong neck. The day he was born he was lifting his head up and turning his head from side to side. He is now working on those leg muscles, his kick is pretty powerful!

All three of Tyler's aunts have come to Huntsville to visit. He will be one spoiled nephew with Rachel, Catherine and Elizabeth. Both sets of grandparents are spoiling him with love! They can't get enough of him! Tyler also had visitors that included his great grandmother Dunn, aunts and uncles, cousins and Mom and Dad's friends. The dogs are slowly adjusting to Tyler, they miss all the attention they once had.

We just can't believe he is ours! We are so blessed to have him in our lives. We just stare at him and can't believe all of the changes that have occured over the past month. Thanks to everyone for all the calls, e-mails, cards and gifts! We appreciate all of our family and friends love and support!

Love,
Celeste, Jason and Tyler

TYLER JEFFERSON HOLDER

All,
Tyler Jefferson Holder has finally arrived. He was born May 4th at 9:46 am. He weighed in at 8 lbs 10 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches. Celeste was amazing during her pregnancy and delivery. She is recovering well and is excited about becoming a mother. I wanted to give a quick update to the website and add a couple pictures. Celeste and Tyler are being discharged from the hospital tomorrow and we will be welcoming both of them home.

Valentine's Day

UPDATE

We celebrated Valentine's day by getting the 4D ultrasound! It was an amazing experience to see the little guy moving around. Apparently he enjoys putting his right hand in his mouth. The pictures showed two hands, two feet, his boy parts, his face and that he likes to move around. The nurse said he is healthy and everything looks normal. The 4D ultrasound is worth the money. The nurse printed out 13 snapshots of the little guy and provided us a video of the ultrasound. It is hard to capture a clear picture from the snapshots but in watching the video you are able to put pieces together to form clearer pictures.



After our ultrasound we went to the Fresh Market and purchased crab cakes, shrimp, and steak that we cooked for our Valentine's dinner. The Fresh Market is an upscale grocery store that specializes in fresh seafood, meat, produce, and baked goods. It has become our favorite store.

Since the last post Jason made a trip to Rome, Italy for work. He was gone for just a week but Celeste ended up getting sick while he was gone. All is better now. The baby's room is pretty much ready thanks to the addition of a glider rocker from James and Ann. Celeste can tell the baby is getting bigger, she can feel the baby's movements are getting much stronger.

Celeste goes back to the doctor on March 2 for her 32 week appointment. After this appointment the doctor's visits will increase until the baby is born! After our next appointment we are headed to Atlanta for our first shower. We can't wait to see everyone!

Happy Valentines Day,

The Holder's

The New Year Is Here!

It has been a crazy couple of months! This is our first baby and we are still trying to figure out everything that needs to be done. In the first six months Celeste has had a fairly easy pregnancy with the exception of sore feet and being very uncomfortable. It has been an exciting time for us as we celebrated Christmas and the New Year with the idea that this coming year we will be having a son. This also led to our families showering the little guy with all sorts of gifts for the holidays. I hope he likes blue...

Celeste will return to the doctor next Thursday for the 28 week checkup. Then on February 14th we both will recieve a wonderful Valentine's day present as we will get the 4D ultrasound. Can anyone say blonde hair and blue eyes. Well we probably wont know that but we are hoping to get a good picture.

Take care,
Love,

The Holder's
