Tyler's 1st Birthday!








I cannot believe that my baby is 1! How is this possible? Has a year really gone by already? There were times during this year that I never thought his birthday would come and then all of a sudden his first birthday has come and gone! Tyler is such a joyful, laid back kid. He loves life, his brother, mommy, daddy, and Charlie. He loves to be outside if at all possible and he loves to climb on things he shouldn't! He keeps us on our toes for sure.

Some of his recent milestones are walking (running is more like it), sleeping through the night and saying a few words! I'm ecstatic about the sleeping one! :) He started walking just before his first birthday and in the past 2 weeks has given up crawling altogether. It has opened up a whole new world for him and really shown Brian and I just how much busier our already busy lives can get! As for talking he says "momma", "dada", "dog", and "cheese". He also has a word for Eric but I can't figure it out for the life of me. He probably says other things that we just haven't picked up on too. He has become slightly picky in the food area but we can't figure out if that is because he is cutting 3-4 more teeth or true pickiness.

He had his 1 year checkup last week and is proving to be a bigger kid than his brother to this point. He weighs 20 lb 6 oz (same as Eric at a year) and is 29 1/2" tall (2" taller than Eric at a year). This puts him in the 1oth percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. The doctor said he is very healthy and right on track for his age.

His birthday party was so much fun! Thanks to everyone that came and helped up celebrate this major milestone in Tyler's life! Thank you also for all the wonderful gifts...he loves them all!

Stay tuned for more updates on all of our recent adventures! :)
