Nine Things About.......

.....Tyler at nine months!

Two months ago today our beautiful baby boy was forever placed into our arms. It is incredible to us that in just a few short days we will also be celebrating 2 months home. 2 months of amazing days as a blessed family of 4......2 months of watching my TWO kiddos develop a loving sibling bond....2 months of witnessing so many remarkable changes in our little guy! My heart swells with joy & love as I reflect on this milestone day.......and without a doubt THESE 2 months since Tyler bounded into our lives have gone far quicker than ANY of the months we spent waiting to meet him! How is that possible?? :)

So, with that in mind, I thought I would share 9 tidbit about our boy! I guess since he's only just 9 months today, these have all been feats at 7 & 8 months and some of them he has been doing since the day we first held him in Taiwan. Enjoy!

1. Tyler has a marvelous sense of humor. He loves to do funny things to make us laugh( and expects us to clap!) and always notices the absurd in any situation. We hear fabulous belly laughs each & every day from this little clown!

2. He can say "Mama" and first said it at 8 mos. 8 days!! We are not sure if he totally knows to only assign it to me, but he has been calling out for "Mama" if I step from the room for a moment! It makes my heart sing!! He also says "Da da da" and "ba ba" for bottle. He's very chatty and fits right in to our household! LOL

3. Tyler loves to go to the park and swing on the baby swings! He could swing for hours!

4. He loves to play "patty cake" which his big sis taught him our first full day at home!

5. Tyler adores music and will bob up and down ( dancing!!) to the music! Then he always claps for himself! LOL

6. Tyler's favorite song is the music video from "Kung Fu Panda"; though he has not seen the movie of course! :) He claps and babbles when he spies Po (the Panda) and watches his sister do her karate moves while it plays!

7. He's a water baby! Adores his bath & makes quite the splash!

8. Tyler adores his books and recognizes all of his favorites! He blows raspberries and jiggles his whole body with glee when we pull out a fave!

9. Tyler loves loves to cuddle and give giant open mouth kisses. He nestles right into the crook of our necks and giggles and coos. He melts my heart!

So that's a little glimpse into our best little guy. I could have easily shared 90 things about Tyler today!! Below are a few pictures I thought you might enjoy!
