new toys...

sweet baby in his new swing

well...with some major engineering help from grandad...we finally got up our swing tyler received from zuzie & poppy for his birthday. he is loving it!!!

our second new "toy" is tylers toothbrush. he had been enjoying us brushing his teeth until about 3 days ago and it has taken some major efforts to brush them the last couple of days (all 12 of his teeth actually). well, today i was in the kitchen and tyler crawled into his room and then came out with the toothbrush in his hands, looked at me, sat down and then proceeded to brush his teeth. i was hysterical laughing and i'm so glad i was able to take a quick picture of it. so cute!!!

my cowboy

tyler's great aunt holly gave him this cowboy hat for his birthday. she also made this special little book that was titled "tyler's hat book." she had copied lots of images of tyler in various hats he had worn throughout his first year of life...as well as added some "imposed" hats such as a chef hat, a firefighter hat and even an a&m football helmet. it was so special and something tyler will treasure his whole life.

Summer Fun

tyler in his little float

tyler with several girlfriends...including kai!!!

tyler and asher in my backseat....carpooling :)

kailey, tyler, brady and mckenzie - our friends we're going to florida with...supposedly :) tyler and mommy are having so much fun at our "pool parties" this summer. nothing like being a "stay at home mom!!!" tyler just adores being in the water. he will sit AND be happy in his little float for up to 2 hours. can you believe it???? he's a little fish i think. just another situation that shows his relaxed and happy personality. i just love that sweet baby :)

tyler is also really beginning to enjoy being around and observing other children. he is so observant of everything going on around him...he's going to learn some good AND bad habits with all of these play dates we're having i'm afraid :)
