Julie had a cookout down at the greenhouses this weekend.  Tyler, Kevin and I went, and Tyler discovered the yumminess of BBQ, as well as the fun of feeding Julie’s dog Cleveland. 4307 4328 4316 4322 4331

What a night last night.  Poor Tyler, he is cutting *three* teeth at the same time right now.  I am assuming they are his one-year molars coming in.  He woke up around 10:30, screaming and crying.  We gave him some motrin, and then a bottle.  He went back to sleep for about 45 minutes, then… Continue reading Molars, lots of molars

Tyler and I met Kevin at Jones’ for lunch today.  Tyler had a blast playing in their kid’s area, which has a sandbox, kid-sized furniture and a chalk board.  As you can see from the first two pics, his favorite “trick” right now is showing people his tongue. 🙂 4270 4264 4243

Tyler is just full of funny little quirks.  It’s one of the great things about watching him get older and develop such a personality.  Lately, he has been in a “everything is a hat” phase.  By which I mean, everything he picks up, at one point or another, will end up on his head.  Cereal… Continue reading Quirks

Extra points to anyone who gets that reference.  (and refrains from pointing out just how much I am dating myself…) 3706

This is a follow-up to the post I wrote for Tyler’s blog.  I also wanted to add in a few personal observations, from the mommy perspective.  When I was young, I never was much of a “kid” person.  Not that I didn’t like kids, in fact I always found it interesting to watch them learn… Continue reading And Baby Makes Three: One Year On
