Busy little Tyler...

I am finally getting around to updating my blog! We've had a busy last couple of months, and Tyler is getting more fun every day! He weighs about 26.5 pounds, and is getting really tall. We think he's so big!! He's starting to jabber constantly. Once all that jabber is real words, I have a feeling it's going to be non-stop talking! His favorite "phrases" are "booka booka," num a num a num a" (when food is really good), "dekka dekka", etc. He says "mom" quite often, and also says "da" for dad. He did start saying "uh oh" tonight, too. He's trying to say a lot of words, and he's getting close to saying words like "spoon" and "cookie." It's a lot of babble, other than that, though! It's SO cute! :)
He's learning so much right now, and it seems like he's making new developments every day! He knows who his grandparents are, his cousins, and lot of his aunts and uncles. He'll point to them if you ask him where they are. He also is starting to listen to instructions and obey, like, "go to the bath tub," or "let's go downstairs and play," or "don't put that pea in your ear." :) We'd like him to learn now that he can't walk down the stairs yet by himself, and he shouldn't poke his baby cousin Ethan's eyes, and daddy really doesn't like it when he pushes all the buttons on the cable box.
He loves playing chase around the house with us, going for rides around the basement in his big red wagon, riding his little motorized four wheeler, reading books, etc.


Here he is running around the house in his "cape." He thinks it's the funniest thing! Ahhh....he must be my son. He's already sucking chocolate syrup straight from the bottle.... :)

Here is Tyler checking out his baby cousin Ethan. Shortly after this he was poking his eyes, trying to get his pacifier out of his mouth, rocking the seat, etc. Ethan slept right through it all...

We've been doing a lot of painting in our house, and Tyler is obsessed with paint brushes (as well as toothbrushes, make up brushes, hair brushes, dish brushes, cleaning brushes....you get the idea). Here he is helping us.

He got a little fourwheeler for Christmas from his two big cousins Ethan and Luke, and he loves riding it! He won't always push the button to make it go by himself, but he loves cruising around the basement on it!

Crawling through his tunnel....

All bundled up!

He loves singing into his little microphone...

Anything his daddy does, Tyler has to do. The second Evan gets a tool out or starts building/fixing something, Tyler is right there. He's SO interested!
