Tyler Time!!

While Lauren has been in the spotlight, our little man didn't sit by the sidelines. :) I had intended to share 14 things about Tyler on my "7" post, but that reflection went another way ~ so I'm taking some creative license while he still IS 14 months and doing a bit of catch-up too!

14 Tidbits about Tyler:

1. Tyler still LOVES LOVES music; he will stop whatever he is doing to boogie if a tune catches his ear. He also likes to sing along!

2. Tyler is chatty. :) A few new words include: "bye-bye", "Bella"(our neighbors dog....lol ) "up" and "NO NO". Just this week he put two words together and usually it takes the form of, "Mama, MOE"( more ) & sadly "No , Mama" :)~

3. Tyler can find his nose, head, feet/toes, tummy, ears & mouth.....and he loves to show off his new skills! :)

4. At his last check-up he remained at the 90% for height and the 50% for weight. Most of Tyler's weight in his adorable cheeks & thighs. *giggle*

5. Tyler adores books (faves include, Where is Baby's Belly Button?, Brown Bear, Brown Bear & Elmo Loves You ), balls & trucks! He hoots & goes "vroooooommm" when a car passes us outside.

6. Tyler loves his big Sis & her bedroom is his favorite room in the house! LOL

7. Tyler loves to try new foods but likes constant change in his menu, otherwise known as, "Mama Buffet". His favorite stand byes are yogurt, apple chunks, Elmo crackers & pasta.

The remaining 7 are in picture form with one brief commercial interruption. ;)



8. Tyler loves to empty his toy baskets and wastes no time filling them right back up (with himself) ! LOL
9. Our little ham relishes putting on silly hats and entertaining the family. Its also understood that Mama will take him right to the mirror for his close scrutiny of said hat! AND look at that dimple........the home of many kisses!

We interrupt this post for a brief public announcement:

"Hair Apparent": As Anne Marie noticed in my last post, Tyler got a haircut recently! I didn't blog about it as it fell during our crazy busy time ~ it was also very traumatic for the both of us. He didn't like the experience AT ALL and it took every ounce of my Mama skill to keep him (and me) from sobbing. The hairstylist also noted that our baby boy has THE worst set of cowlicks she has ever seen. AND when it was all said & done, I didn't care for the initial cut, but his hair grows FAST and I do love it now. The above & below photos are the pre-cut shots. :)

This photo was probably the ONE shot that prompted our trip to the salon. That & because Daddy was tired of folks commenting on our "beautiful girl". *grin* Let me just say that Tyler is ALL BOY & we love it!

We now return to our regularly scheduled post:

10. Tyler (pre hair cut) loves riding like the wind on his blue horse!

11. With "La La" at school, Tyler has turned his entertainment skills and affections towards Lexi. As you can plainly see, she is delighted. ;) He also adores our neighbor's dog and will pucker up his mouth a block away in preparation of giving her a big ole kissy!

12. Tyler (post hair cut) loves his wheels! Any wheels & all wheels will do!

13. LOVES LOVES being outside. He will stay out for HOURS and cries when its time to come back inside. He melts my heart! He also loves his new sneakers and brings them over right after breakfast as a hint its time to head outdoors. LOL

14. Tyler loves to have fun. If you have ever heard the phrase, "make a joyful noise"........that's Tyler. He loves to laugh.....loves to make us laugh......and can almost always be coaxed out of a grumpy mood with tickles and hugs!! He is such a happy little guy and makes us smile each day!
