Tyler has learned a new phrase, I am assuming at daycare: he toddled into the bathroom, leaned over the toilet (it had just been flushed), peered in and said “ewww….gwoss!”   He also says it when you change his diaper.  Which, now that I think about it, means that he might have picked that phrase up… Continue reading You Can Say That Again

When we got home from work/daycare, Kevin, Tyler and I were outside.  Kevin was sitting on the cooler, and Tyler went over to the garage and sat down on the doorstep.  He looked at me, patted the doorstep beside him, and said “mama sit down”!  That’s the first time so far that he’s put more… Continue reading First Sentence

not quite yet, but he is definietly on his way.  he will now tells us when he has pooped (he’ll grab his butt and say “butt? poop?”.  once or twice he has actually told us before hand, but we thought he meant he had already gone. He is also fascinated by peeing.  When Kevin is… Continue reading Potty Time

Kevin’s brother Kenny and his wife Missy came to visit us for a few days.  Tyler remembered his Uncle Kenny from a few months before, when we had seen him at my sister-in-law Kathy’s place (usually Ty is pretty shy with new people, but he wasn’t shy with Kenny at all).  He also warmed up… Continue reading Uncle Kenny and Aunt Missy Visit

That headbutting was genetic?  I’ll let you in on a little secret.  Once upon a time, in his younger, crazier days, Kevin was somewhat predisposed towards headbutting things.  (generally after a few drinks).  I never suspected that it was genetic!  Tyler has entered a phase where, when he gets mad he will headbutt things (usually… Continue reading Who Knew?

Ty is (finally!) starting to get the hang of using hte word “yes”.  for quite a while, he would say “no” even when he meant yes.  which led to some funny exchanges, such as, me: “would you like another piece of ham?” Ty: “no” (as he grabs the piece of ham and shovels it into… Continue reading Yessss

Holy cow, is Ty ever picking up words now!  We had brocolli the other night for dinner, so he now knows “brocky”.  He has also picked up corn, sit, apple, sausage (sau-jij), and my favorite so far — “jupes” (grapes).  There are many more, I have totally lost track because he is learning them so… Continue reading Word, Words and More Words

Yesterday we took Tyler to York’s Wild Kingdom Zoo and Amusement Park, in York Maine.  Kevin and I have been there a few times, and decided Ty was old enough now to enjoy it.  He sure did, and I took loads of pics.  I will post some of the highlights here.  At first he was… Continue reading The Zoo in York, Maine
