6 Months Old

A lot of changes took place at the Ivie house this past week. Tyler turned 6 months old on Saturday, he received his first two teeth on Sunday, and we started the "weaning" process on Monday (Tyler started daycare). It seemed as though everything was coming all at once! You can imagine how hard the whole daycare thing was for us, especially since Tyler has been able to be at work with us for the past six months. Russ and I searched high and low to find the best daycare provider for Tyler – we wouldn’t settle for anything less. Believe it or not, we found the perfect lady in all of Sevier Valley to watch our "little man". Her name is Cinda, and she is awesome! Monday morning came quick and we tried to be as prepared as possible. It was hard to leave our “little man” behind, and an eight hour work day never seemed so long. To be honest, we all had a few rough days adjusting to our new routine, but we managed to make it through the entire week. Let's just say, our weekends have a whole new meaning now. We love being together as a family! Thank you Miss Cinda for all that you do – we appreciate you so much.

On the 5th of September, Tyler and I made our first trip to Provo. Our mission was to have his 6 month pictures taken and pick up a few odds and ends. I expected this day to be a complete nightmare for both of us! Surprisingly, Tyler was a complete angel until the ride home! Let’s just say Tyler let me know he’d had enough just as we passed Nephi. He exercised his vocals all the way to Richfield. We’ve never been so glad to be home! Below are a few of our favorite pictures of our little 6 month old. Considering the long day of shopping prior to these pictures, we think they turned out pretty cute. Thank you Aunt Casey and Cousin Kael for spending the day with us...we couldn't have done it without you!
