Charleston for the Weekend!

After a successful closing on our Richmond condo, Scott, Tyler, and I jumped in the car and headed to Charleston for a much needed weekend getaway. We didn't do much besides lounge around Scott's friends condo. It was nice because there was nothing to distract us such as no desire to do any house hold projects and/or clean. We just hung out and relaxed. We did get out and about on Saturday for lunch at The Rooftop in downtown Charleston and then walked around the battery for about 10-15 minutes. We spotted a pay phone and had to take a picture with Tyler in it...who knows how much longer they will be around and Tyler will not believe us when we tell him about "the old days." Life is good, we feel refreshed, Tyler was really good and slept most of the way to Charleston and home. Something about those car rides, but with Tyler they are either hit or miss. Tyler update: His 4 month check up went great. Another round of shots, his heart murmur detected on his 1 month checkup is gone and it was confirmed yesterday by the heart doctor as well, we are trying some Prevacid for reflux in hopes it will help his fussiness (not working), I've been laying him to nap on his side and he is sleeping much longer for his naps (a few wake-ups in between but much better!), we even tried some solids last week (really liquid cereal) and it didn't go very well...he is still pushing it out with his tongue (we are going to try again this week), plus he got his first cold, which scared us as he was gagging up mucus from his throat, he rolled over from his tummy to his back all on his own for the first time last Thursday (March 27th 2008), he hasn't done it since but he's getting stronger each day.

This is Tyler in his new outfit from Aunt Amy. He LOVES it!
