Our littlest dude

Finally, an updated photo of the youngest Ramsey, Tyler...


This photo was taken about 2 weeks ago, whilst on holidays in Cairns, and during a day trip to Low Isles (off Port Douglas).

Tyler turned 10 months yesterday and he is one clever little chicken! He's crawling everywhere and pulls himself up on anything and everything. He says dadadadad and occasionally mumumum. He used to say bububub but not really anymore. He yells at us to get our attention when we aren't looking at him. It's very effective haha.
He looooves his food - especially hot chips, which he had far too many of on this trip. He and Brayden will do just fine together, eating hot chips, as Brayden constantly asks for them.

He sleeps through the night (in my bed of course, but hey, whatever works), and doesn't even wake up until 8am! Awesome sauce. He loves his brothers to pieces, and especially likes interacting with Liam, as he's so gentle with him. It's strange but he always seems to end up crying when he and Brayden are alone in a room together. Strange my foot, I haven't caught him in the act but I'm certain Brayden tries to pick him up or something like that.

He has recently begun to show us his stressed out sign, for when he isn't happy or doesn't like something. He grabs his fingers in his opposite hand and pulls on them, usually whilst grunting. He also tries to bite me, but I think that has a lot to do with his teething, which he is doing at the moment. Right now he has four teeth on the bottom and two on top, but I can see the seventh tooth is just about to cut through on the top left hand side. He's handling it well.

He loves his dummy and blankie and unless he's dog tired, he struggles to drift off to sleep without them both.

He loves to have a bath with his brothers and hates to get out.

We've just started going to swimming lessons at PLC on a Friday morning and he likes that. The only problem is that it's right in the middle of his usual sleep time so it's a little bit of a struggle for him by the end. He likes to splash and sticky beak at what everyone around him is doing. He isn't fussed on the teacher dunking him under the water, but then again neither am I.

We've been on three holidays since Tyler arrived and he has just been so great. We drove to the Gold Coast in April of this year, when he was just 5 months old and he was fantastic in the car. We only stopped twice during the 10+ hour drive! We stayed in an apartment where he and I slept in an ocean front room - bliss! It was during this trip that he started sleeping through the night without waking for a bottle.

In the July school holidays we went for a long weekend in Port Macquarie. We stayed in a basic hotel room which meant we didn't have a kitchen. He didn't complain once about having un-warmed bottles. He just went along with what ever we were doing.

Tyler my boy, you are a gem and we are sooooooooo lucky to have you in our lives. I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!! xxxx
