Then and Now...

4 months Old...Just big enough for my Jumpy!

6 months old...and wearing my self out in the jumpy!

10 months old...quickly out growing my favorite toy and still playing until I can't stay awake!

My Big Boy

Tyler is growing like a weed. He is just too much fun! I can't believe I am about to have his first birthday party. It seems like we just brought him home. He's so full of energy and lately he copies everything we do, which his daddy finds hilarious. I have a feeling Daddy is going to get Tyler in lots of trouble! Tyler is so sweet. When he puts his little hand on my face and talks to me, my heart melts! I am so in love with him. Words just cannot explain how a mommy feels about her little boy. People warned me, but I could have never imagined! I love watching him learn new things and he's fascinated about everything. He can't sit still for longer than 2 seconds (get's that from his daddy), he has to open every drawer, cabinet, you name it he has to touch it and play with it. He keeps us on our toes! And he's a human vacuum cleaner....if there's something on the floor he's going to find it and eat it...food, dirt, grass...doesn't matter. It all taste good! And speaking of food, our little man has 4 teeth and boy does he know how to use them. If he sees you eating, you better be prepared to share! The other night I went to KFC and got a pint of mash potatoes and gravy...Tyler left me about 4 bites!!!! He ate the ENTIRE container by himself!!! He's just a barrel of fun and we are loving EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of him!

Feed Me Mommy!

I am played out! And I've got all my stuffed animals to keep me company.
Look at my shoes!

Streeeeeeeeech! Almoooooost.......Mommy help me! I want the phone! (look at those Tippy Toes!)

Too Cool for Words

Tyler loved the warm weather we had a few weekends ago. We pulled him around the neighborhood in the wagon and he wore his hat and sunglasses the ENTIRE time! I was so tickled! I thought he would pull them off but he didn't. He was too precious!

Look at him holding onto the side of the wagon! Too sweet!

My Boo Boo

I was sitting in church on Sunday and about had a heart attack when I saw Tyler's number flash on the big screen, which means a parent needs to go to the nursery b/c something is wrong. So I race out of church to go and rescue my baby.....well he was fine by the time I got there. Apparantly Tyler thinks he is a big kid and trys to copy everyone. He pulled up on the chair to get something, fell and busted his lip. By the time I got to him, he was fine. Apparently a nice bottle and a very nice lady rocking you can easily make a fat lip feel better. What can I say...he's a rough and tumble kind of boy.

Redneck Child Proofing

When you have a child that does this....

You become forced to do this...

Fun New Website

I have to admit, I am addicted to shopping online. Even more so now that Tyler is here. I just don't have time to do 'real' shopping like I used to. Well, I came across the neatest website recently called Ebates. All you do is log on to ebates and connect to your store you want to shop at. You earn rebates just for shopping! I've already earned $10! You earn money for shopping on ebay, Target, Vista Print, Sephora...you name it and it's probablly listed. And they give you referral dollars too! Hint, hint...go and sign up and I get $5.00 and YOU get $5.00! Hey, it's a win-win!

On a "Tyler Note"...he has strep throat but is still so incredibly happy. I really don't know how we got so blessed with such a sweet baby! Frank has been really good with helping watch Tyler. I stay home in the mornings and Frank comes home at 1:00 so I can go into work for a few hours. Most dads would not do that, but I didn't even have to ask Frank! He just offered! And it's been such a big help. I've got some really good pictures to post from this weekend of little man but my camera battery is dead. I'll charge it and post tomorrow.
