Seems this:
was only yesterday. Now it's fall and Xmas is around the corner:

Where I am once again surprised that time passes really, really fast
Tyler turned 1 this week. We celebrated the occasion by giving him gifts that - while age appropriate - seemed way more interesting to his older brothers.While I can't recall what
I did over the last year, I have photographic proof that Tyler was predominantly busy growing:
While at first he seemed to be suspicious of this whole cake thing, he overcame his reservations pretty quickly:

Spring: Sun...and grass mowing
The epic battle between Man and what passes in our house as grass continues for another year. Taking advantage of warm temperatures I took the mower out of hibernation. I underestimated the April sun and got a little sun burned. Not much happening at the moment. World revolves around the kids, so there is no spare time. Here are the mandatory kid pictures:
On that note I am going to bed.

Xander turns 2
Xander had his 2nd birthday last week and boy, is he two. Constant supervision is necessary to keep him out of trouble. His cuteness saves him - most of the time. Happy Birthday, medium one.
The equal opportunity department requires me to post pictures of the remaining kids as well:

Happy Birthday Connor!!
Connor turned 4 today. We celebrated his birthday last Saturday, an event he was looking forward to for the last month. Happy Birthday, little man.
But let's not forget the other two, who had a good time as well:

-itis convention in the Schuetz house
For some reason there seems to be a germ-convention in our house:
Xander had an ear infection, Lisa had strep throat, an ear infection, bronchitis and congivitis and Tyler hasn't slept for more than a cople of hours in a stretch for more than 5 days now. No fever, but there is obviously something wrong with him.Connor and I haven't caught anything yet, maybe we didged the bullet this time. Obviously my free time allotment is non-existent, but here are some pictures of the sleepstealers / germsharers:

Still off the charts
Tyler's 4 month checkup was Monday. He is doing great, in fact he is still off the charts with his weight: 19 lb. 10 oz (= 8900 g). No need to call Weightwatchers yet, once he is off breast milk he should taper off. His height of 26.5 in (=67 cm) puts him around the 85th percentile as well.

The Boys
Having 3 kids means there is no time at all, so you have to appreciate me cutting into my sleep to bring you these photos of the boys:

Weightwatchers stay away from breast milk
We took Tyler to the doctor to get his second Hepatitis B shot yesterday and he weighed in at 12 lb 11 oz (5755 g), when just 2 weeks ago he was 10 lb 8.5 oz (4776 g). At this rate he'll be like 60 lb. by the time he turns one year old. Poor little man has a cold (a gift from his brothers) and is congested, so he has a hard time sleeping (and therefore by extension so do we).

Tyler's first 2 weeks
Tyler is performing according to spec: sleeping, pooping & eating, with some crying in between . His 2 weeks doctor visit has him surpassing his birth weight by 4 oz (now 10 lb 8.5 oz) putting him into the 90th percentile for weight and 85th for height.
Not getting much sleep these days which is exacerbated by the fact that I am back to work for a week now and on 3rd shift for a while (I hope).

PRESS RELEASE - SCHUETZ LOGISTICS LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATION BRAND EXTENSION
Genetic Technology Yields Robust, Scalable, Cute New Life
Annapolis, Maryland - 5 June, 2008 Schuetz Logistics Genetics Systems, working in collaboration with the Biological Imperative Group and Evolutionary Solutions Inc., is proud to announce the successful launch and deployment of our newest brand extension, Tyler Victor Schuetz, 3rd in the series of Schuetz products.
After an approximately 37 week development cycle, Tyler achieved re-entry at 3:51 pm on June 4, 2008 in Annapolis after a mercifully brief and uneventful labor. His gross delivery weight was 10 pounds 4.8 ounce (4670 grams), with a total platform length of 21.8 inches (55 cm), thus being the heaviest and largest of the Schuetz products.
A state-of-the-art newborn, Tyler is equipped with the latest onboard diagnostic and maintenance technologies, including fully autonomic respiratory, circulatory, and waste-disposal systems, as well as pre-installed grasping and suckling subroutines. A built-in acoustic alarm alerts the executive team when ambient conditions are sub-optimal, and the user interface is calibrated for maximum cuteness. After rigorous third-party testing, Tyler also achieved the prestigious Apgar 9 certification for superior build-quality.
"Adopting a standardized infant platform that supports heterogeneous brand propagation enables Schuetz Logistics to improve long-term connectivity and increase overall performance levels," said Marcus Schuetz, co-chair of Schuetz Logistics Genetics Systems. "In the years ahead, we anticipate that Tyler will help expand our conceptual footprint among the much sought-after Generation Z demographic."
Tyler declined to comment. His mother is doing very well, and trying to get some sleep.
