Pics from Sea World

Pictures from Sea World - San Antonio. Tyler loved it they have the toddler thing down so we all had a good time. He loved the water park part. We didn't make any shows - we attempted the sea lion show but T being a busy body boy we weren't there for long.
See the previous post for all the Elmo excitement but when we got to the car there was an Elmo doll in T's car seat. He was so thrilled. He hugged him and played with him for a good part of the journey to Port Aransas.

Meeting Elmo

We took Tyler to Sea World - other photos and a post to follow but he got to meet Elmo. T loves Elmo and we were interested to see if he liked seeing a big Elmo or was upset but he loved it!!!! It was so fun. The Elmo visits are 'closed sets' but Will was able to get this short video (by the way we bought the photo so they really should have just let us filmed). He was so happy and since it was a slow day in the park he got to spend a few minutes with him. Tyler had such a great time it was awesome to see him SO excited! Elmo walked him to the door but T cried when we left.

I love it! It's ALIVE! Okay, I it's cool.

Grandma and Grandpa got Tyler a remote control car.  He played with it at the resturant before it could move and loved it!

After his nap he woke up and I was excited to see what he thought of it moving.  I envisioned him chasing it and having so much fun.



I seemed to have forgotten at his age anything that moves is quite possibly 'alive'.

After a few times of playing with it he finally decided it was cool and we came full circle.  Now he takes it to us to make it light up and move so we have moved in the right direction.

Risky Business

Tyler got a really bad diaper rash so they recommended we put underwear on him when possible so his little bottom could heal. Well it was an interesting event that resulted int three underwear changes in an hour and half but he looked pretty cute. These photos are from my camera so they aren't great.

A Little Behind - Here's an Update!

After all our Scout activity in December its been forever since I posted anything. Where did December go? Here are the latest Tyler happenings: Words - momma, dadda, no, dog, ball, book, more, all done, this?, lights, duck, monitor and uh oh. He also say moo for cows. I think he probablly says more and we just dont understand him yet. His favorite toys are his broom, anything elmo, Scout the dog (not to be confused with Scout the elf) books and his giant bear. He loves his blanket (the tags specifically), blueberries and cheese. He really likes flipping the light switch, closing doors and pulling tissues and wipes out of their containers. He can stir and sweep, he loves to dance and he imitates so many things its scary. See the picture - trying to be just like dad? :)He can also give a very cute sassy face... maybe that's from me? He refuses to wear bibs - hence the food on his shirt. He is a good sleeper her goes to bed well usually plays in his crib for a while and really doesnt wake up in the middle of the night - I am very grateful and I know very lucky too. He goes through phases of having a fit when we take him to daycare or when he gets picked up. His naughties are trying to destroy the blinds - they should always be half up but Will keeps lowering them and biting. The biting thing has become a bigger problem at daycare. He seems to do it a lot and I have seen it so I know its real... We are giving him a teething toy at school now and yesterday was the first day and they said it helped so hopefully it will be a good solution. His teachers say he isn't ding it to be aggressive but rather when he is excited. Ugh, when they are 16 months old what do you do? Honestly, I am taking suggestions.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

We came home the night before Christmas and made a Pumpkin Gooey Cake for the next day. We went to bed and not a creature was stirring not even a Drake Dog. Only the dogs stockings were left hung by the chimney with (at the time of the photo), it seem Saint Nick had already been there!!!!! Keyley and Drake were very bad this year. Tyler was all snug in his crib in hopes of an Elmo toy and a Radio Flyer would be on their way. When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter that mom told dad see what's a matter?! Dad ran out to the living room hearing Santa's sleigh bells and there was Scout catching his ride up North!!!!!! Dad is super fast with his camera! (thanks dad) Good bye Scout, you have been such fun! Next year - per your instructions - we hope you will return when Tyler gives a gift to another child that may not otherwise get one.

Uh-Oh

Well Tyler decided to end the last day of school 'big' by getting not one but TWO incident reports with three bites!!!!! He bit a friend and then bit another later in the day when the teacher took him aside to talk to him about why that is not nice he bit her!!!!! My goodness. We put the incident reports in the drawer to keep them from Scout, we felt Tyler had been so good lately we didn't want Christmas to be wrecked by some misdirected affection. Some see it as 'bad' but it might have just been a love bite - right? Well on Christmas Eve morning we found Scout looking over the reports. I hope Santa remembers that Tyler is a very good boy that sleeps through the night(mom and daddy love that), loves everyone, gives the greatest belly laugh (his pediatrician said so himself) and gives sweet smiles to everyone! Look at his sweet newborn picture next to Scout, who can be upset with a baby that cute?
