On the way home from daycare, the moon was full and Tyler noticed it out the car window. He reached out and said “ball, have it? have it?” He did it again when we got home and Kevin got him out of the car. Kevin and I both said simultaneously “If we could give you… Continue reading Giving Him the Moon

First Haircut
Well, I finally couldn’t deny it any longer — my little baby desperately needed a haircut! Kathy had taken this picture of Tyler at daycare, and I realized he was looking a little, uh, shaggy… Tyler’s mugshot We took him to Big League Cuts, and they gave him this nifty certificate (and a baggy with… Continue reading First Haircut
Allergy Update
We took Tyler for an appointment with his allergist yesterday. We have been suspecting that he is outgrowing the milk allergy, but it will be nice to hear what the allergist has to say. Ty has had a couple of “accidents” at daycare, and drank some milk from another child’s sippy cup. We all held… Continue reading Allergy Update
Hey Little Bug
As we were leaving the house the other day, Tyler saw a little beetle crawling across the mud-room floor. He bends over to inspect it, then crooks his finger at it and says in a squeeky falsetto “hey little bug, c’mere. c’mere little bug.” Where did he learn that? How do they pick up these… Continue reading Hey Little Bug
This Post Brought to You By the Number “4”
For a while now, Tyler has been able to count to 12. It was probably about two months ago that I heard him counting out the numbers while walking down the stairs. For some reason, though, he almost always skips the number “4”. So this is a post to show a little love to the… Continue reading This Post Brought to You By the Number “4”

Ty has been having a great time with his new kitchen set. Yesterday I watched him cooking. He “cut up” some vegetables, and I heard him saying “more peppers! more peppers! broccoli stew!” He put the food in the microwave, pushed the buttons, waited a few seconds, then said “all done”. He took… Continue reading Little Chef

Air Are Oooooo?
It was so cute the other day when Tyler was looking for Shiner, he was walking around the house the going “shiner, air are ooooooo? air are ooo, shiner?”.
“Undecorating” the Tree
Tyler and I had a nice time decorating the tree together. I tried to show him how to hang the ornaments, but he didn’t quite get the concept. I would give him a ball and tell him to hang it on the tree somewhere, and he would take it and cram it into an opening… Continue reading “Undecorating” the Tree
Dizzy, Dizzy
I really think we are going to end up with an adrenaline junkie on our hands. Tyler just loves to rough-house and climb, and play games that end up with him flying in the air and whooshing down, only to be stopped at the last second. He also loves to do things like stand in… Continue reading Dizzy, Dizzy
