Fist shakes not bumps

Tyler kept screeching in the car and asking him to stop wasn’t working so I finally turned around and scowled at him then shook my fist. He started laughing then shook his fist back at me. Now whenever his gets yelled at he shakes his fist at us. Obviously we’ll have to be careful what hand gestures we use around the house J

Cheesing it up

We had fun hanging out with Aunt Jessica and Cousin Scarlett when they visited. Here we are posing at the zoo. Notice Tyler sound asleep and Scarlett kicking back in her new stroller with her arms behind her head. Me and Jessica were having fun though!

Double Trouble

Look how sweetly Scarlett is sitting in Grandma's arms - then notice how Grandma has a death grip on the faucet because my seeminly sweet looking boy kept turning on the water and trying to drown the counter tops. At least at the zoo they were strapped in - much easier to keep track of that way!

A New Throne for His Royal Highness

Grandma S. got him a new chair and he just thinks he is all that and a bag of chips sitting in it like a big boy. Well sitting, climbing, trying to jump off of it, etc. He sits in it and looks around all smug that he has his very own chair that he can get in all by himself as you can se from his expression in the picture! And yes I know he has Christmas jammies on in the middle of summer but they finally fit him perfectly so we're going with it. I'm tempted to get a few of my snowmen out....

Bubbles Bubbles everywhere

Aunt Livy got Tyler a really cool bubble machine. It was a gorgeous day out so we went out in front of the house and he chased bubbles – it was great fun. Kept him entertained and running around enough so that he took a great nap that day! Thank you Aunt Livy J

Forget the real animals – statues are fun too!

While I realize we went to the zoo to see the real animals we had a lot of fun posing with the statues. This trip we were with Daddy and Tyler was a little more interested in the other kids rather than the animals. Every time I would put him down to walk he would run towards kids with his arms outstretched like he was going to grab them. While we were looking at the tigers Tyler was standing next to a little boy. He had his binky in his mouth and it was attached to his shirt. Tyler kept reaching over and pulling it out of his mouth and letting it drop down. His Mom would put it back and Tyler would take it out again. I had to move him away from the little boy but he kept babbling at him and trying to pat his arm. It was pretty cute.

Zoo’s are tiring

We went to the zoo 2 weeks in a row and apparently the drive to the zoo is very tiring because just as we reached the parking lot each time he would fall asleep. Of course once he napped he woke up refreshed and ready to rock! We had fun with the girls while they visited and went to the zoo while they were here then the next week we went to the zoo with Daddy. The membership has paid off!

Pool Party

Daddy got Tyler his own pool. Grandma R, Aunt Jessica & Scarlett were visiting and the weather was in the 90’s so he thought it would be fun for the kids to play in the water. He got him a 10 foot around and 30 inch deep pool. Grandma R got them floaty’s they could sit in and once the water warmed up a little Tyler loved it! When we first went in and the water was fresh from the hose Tyler didn’t much like it. He would gasp when you put his little legs in the water and cry. Once the sun warmed it up a bit he even would let you put in all the way up to his neck. He also wore a hat and left it on for the first time. I think he realized that it kept the sun out of his eyes.
