Our little man....

Tyler is changing so much lately! He's getting so big, and he's starting to look more like a little boy than a baby. He is walking all over, and is getting pretty sturdy on his feet, but he still just likes to have at least one finger to hold on to to keep his balance. One of these days he's going to take off! He's still army crawling all over the place, too. He gets up on all fours every once in awhile, but can't quite figure out how to move.

He's also getting SO smart! :) He knows where our eyes are (and loves to poke at them constantly! He also knows where everyone's eyes are in his books, and loves to show us), and we're learning nose, mouth, and ears. He also can wave bye-bye, give high fives, point at things, clap his hands, and do "so big!" It's amazing to watch his little brain develop and seems like he changes every day. He's really in to books right now, and will sit for 20+ minutes just reading with us. It's the most still he ever sits!

Here are some pictures of him outside....We love the huge backyard area behind our apartment. The back of our apartment faces a huge yard of a church that we walk around in all the time. We're trying to suck up every bit of nice weather before it gets cold. We're loving this nice fall!


There's also a big garden in the yard behind us. Tyler loves crunching around on the dried corn stalks. Any time he can hold a dried corn stalk or a stick or rock or anything he can swing around or throw....he loves it.

Who needs toys when you have a box to climb around in?? He loves looking at us out the "windows" and as you can see, there are a few bite marks out of the windows... :)

Evan has made Tyler a hard core Vikings fan....despite their record this year. :)

Little cutie.... :)

Crawling under the table. He loves being under things lately, and gets really excited when we make "forts" in the living room, or hide under blankets together. He's at such a fun age! Every time he enters a new stage, I say it's my favorite....but this one really is my favorite. :)
