Tyler put his own hat on the other day and he looked like a little ganster (gangsta?).

It's official....Tyler has his first crush. Whenever we ask him about Kinley he goes CRAZY! He calls her "Ko-Kee." The "crushing" starts at around 20 seconds. Sooooo cute!!

I videotaped Tyler asking for his paci the other day because I never want to forget how he looks (like a little old man with dentures) when he says "pa-pa." Hehe.... Cracks me up!

Two months from today my baby will be two years old! Wow!

Tyler has been in a great mood this week (thank goodness we worked through whatever issues we had for the past two weeks) and I was able to capture some fun pictures of him playing in his jammies last night. :)



"Mr. Fix-It" (his jammies even has a little tool belt..hehe)


Lots of smiles for Mommy and Daddy last night!

Last Sunday we celebrated Annabelle's first birthday. Annabelle is one....how did that happen?!! The theme of the party was butterflies and everything was absolutely precious, especially the birthday girl!!

Here is the adorable birthday girl!



With Mommy and Daddy :) (Josh and Lacey)

Tyler's vocabulary has exploded in the last couple of weeks. I'm amazed at how many words he says! I've been frantically trying to write down every new word I hear but it's becoming increasingly difficult because there are so many. It's also difficult because he will try and say almost anything you tell him to say. So, I've written down the ones that he uses the most and on his own for this baby book update. ;)

Here we go....

• Bebe (blanket) We are very serious about our blankets. Lately he "needs" 3 at all times, plus the little blue doggy.
• Ow Shide (outside)
• Ish (fish)
• Week (creek)
• Git Down (get down)
• up
• Chuck and Truck (believe it or not...there is a difference!)
• Chip which sounds like Sh*t (lol!)
• Tyler likes to tell me "I poop" (he's been right one time...ha!). Our conversation goes like this: T: I poop. Me: Did you?! T: I poop. Me: I bet you tee tee'd, not pooped. T: oooh, tee tee. It's hilarious!
• Tyler also likes to tell me "Abby poop" whether she did or not.
• Baa (bath)
• Hit (sit) He's very serious about having you sit in the exact spot that he wants you to. He will grab your hand, take you to where he wants you and point his finger on the floor telling you to "hit, hit, hit." Rolf "hitted" in the wrong spot the other day and Tyler wasn't happy about it! ha!
• Bowww (bowl)
• Pate (plate)
• Pway (play)
• Tow (toy)
• Ouch
• O noooo (this is my favorite right now. He says it with great concern...so cute!)
• Toe
• fewt (foot)
• Know (nose)
• Piper (diaper)
• Cone (corn)
• Wowee wide (4-wheeler ride)
• Wick (Mrs. Andrea's husband)
• Gen (Our friend Glen)
• Tyler bosses the dogs around like there's no tomorrow! It cracks me up. I heard him telling Bailey "Baywee....NO NO" over and over the other day. Bailey wasn't even near him...ha!
• I took our Christmas lights down one day while Tyler was at school. He came home and immediately ran to where his favorite lights were telling me to turn them on. He got upset and said "lllight?" It was so sad. :(
• Tyler knows that a right turn on our street means we're not going to see Boppy. How he knows this I have no idea.... He gets very mad and cries the rest of the way home exclaiming, "Boppy! Boppy! Boppy!"
• Speaking of crying......it's not always happy at our house. Tyler has always loved going to Mrs. Andrea's house but lately he doesn't want to come home! When I get there in the evenings he runs the other direction squealing "NO" (and not with delight). Way to make a Momma feel good buddy! I'm happy he likes school but sheesh!! This incident usually leads to him crying all the way home, followed by more crying at home, followed by an early bath, early dinner and one exhausted Mom by the time Rolf gets home. It's life, it happens, it's just a phase but I don't have to like it, right?! ;)
• We were at the creek this past weekend. Tyler was sleeping in his pack-n-play in our room since Glen was in his room. It was barely dawn and I heard a dog barking. I knew exactly what it was but Rolf FLEW out of bed and looked out the window. He thought a dog had gotten into the trash.............it was Tyler's blue dog barking under the covers in his bed. I played opossum for a minute (acting like I was still sleeping) while the dog kept barking until I finally started laughing and told Rolf what it was. We both got a pretty good kick out of it. Silly blue dog!

Told you I had a lot of updates! Here are a few random pictures that don't really go with any other posts...

Tyler wanted Bailey to play ball so bad but she was sound asleep.



So he decided to join her :)


Wowee wide!
