Washington DC

We went to Washington DC for our good friend Kevin's wedding. Notice the bump at 32 weeks pregnant this was my last trip but the baby has been to DC - Tyler still hasnt left the great state of Texas in or out of the womb. We are in front of the Capital but Slade doenst know how to take appropriate tourist pictures. Tyler stayed with Nanny and with Grandma and Grandpa. We are lucky to having willing babysitters. He rode the tractor at Grandpa's and now points out any and all tractors. He knows the John Deere green and anything that color with wheels is also called a tractor.

Halloween

For Halloween Tyler was a monkey. We toyed with the idea of having him be Curious George and Will being the Man in the Yellow Hat but tracking down the costume for Will could not be accomplished on Amazon so I had to scrub it. Tyler doesnt get much candy so he didnt really get excited about that part but was very excited to ring door bells and was pretty good about saying Thank You. We sat in our drive way to hand out candy to the other trick or treaters and he kept trying to get into the cars. He was so confused about why we were out there and not going anywhere.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch in Elgin. Although we need the rain its timing was kind of bad for what we had planned that day. We managed to get pumkins and Tyler drove a tractor so it was overall a success. I kept trying to take his picture and he was not that interested in having that done. Close by other kids sat and smiled and were thrilled to have their picture taken while our boy Tyler screamed 'all done' and made the big hand gesture incase we didn't hear him!

Dad's Birthday

We met Nanny, Aunt Molly and the twins for lunch for Will's birthday and got this cute picture of the kiddos.

2nd Birthday Party

Tyler's second birthday was at our house and was an Elmo theme. He had lots of fun and although I dont have a lot of picutres he had five guests his age - all girls :)He opened his first present - an electric screw driver and refused to open the rest for the most part. He was really excited about the screw driver.

2 Years Old

September 17th Tyler turned 2! Its hard to believe time can go by so fast. Some fun facts about Tyler at this point in his life: He LOVES Elmo, he sleeps with Elmo, asks for him first thing in the morning and brings us the remote and asks for Elmo. His favorite foods are blueberries and cheese and he rarely eats meat. He loves the songs Row Your Boat and Jumprope (by Blue October). He is fascinated by lights and moves his chair all around the house to flip the light switches. He loves to jump and to dance. He still loves the dogs and gets so excited to be around them. He knows the colors yellow (lellow) and blue. He helps flip the laundry and squeegees the shower in our bathroom. He can pee on the potty and knows how to put on his shoes. He loves his playscape he can climb to the top, loves sliding down the slide and steering the ship. He will push swings (with no one in them) and say 'wwweeeee'
