Little Snow Bunny

Daddy thought I was super mean for doing this but I have to take advantage of these rare opportunities plus Tyler had a super cute outfit to wear. Here are some pictures of Tyler out in the snow. He did not like it in the backyard. He kept falling down but when I took him out front he was having the best time.


The next set of pictures are from him in the front yard. You can see the change of mood in the pictures.

Thank You Mom

Thanks to my Mom and all of her hard work our little stocking trio is complete just in time for Christmas.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I am soooo excited my very first WHITE Christmas!!! It went from 75 degrees yesterday to a whooping 30 degrees today. This morning they were forecasting about 2 inches for my area. I know to some of you this is nothing but to me this is HUGE. It started snowing around 10 am this morning and this is what it looked like out my front door.

A couple of hours later this is what it looked like.

Another couple of hours later... Sammy decided he wanted to play in it. For some reason he loved the snow.

And finally this was taken right before it got dark outside, yes it was still snowing. This is officially the most snow I have seen since we moved to North Texas. It reads a little over 3 inches but you can't really see it.

I can't wait to wake up tomorrow to my first white Christmas!!

Just for Grandma Sandy....

My Mom has been bothering me for some photos of Tyler playing with the Christmas tree. So here you go Grandma Sandy. Oh and thanks to you all of the presents are now missing all the bows. Apparently they are the coolest toys around:)

I LOVE the pouty lip in this picture. Its too cute!

He had to go show Daddy his new hair do.

Why....

Why do we has parents spend all this money on new toys for our little ones and their favorite toys are either garbage or things we already have around the house? Tyler's latest favorite toy is the Mountain Dew bottle. Before that it was the spaghetti strainer, his tooth brush, the shampoo bottle, and the spatula. Do you see the pattern? Yeah as a parent I wonder all the time why I even bother with toys.

Happy 14 Month Birthday Baby Boy!

I can't believe how fast time in flying. These months are going by so quickly. It seems like since Tyler hit a year old all of the months just run together now. I love the age that Tyler is at right now, it seems like everyday he is learning something new. I love being able to be the person that gets to teach him all these cool new things. Some of the things that Tyler has accomplished this month are:

1. He cut his 12th tooth and the last of the 1st year molars. Hopefully we are able to take a little break from teething. I can't imagine how bad this hurts him.

2. He can now say book, dog and thank you. Still no daddy though! I think Troy needs to step it up and start working with him on this one. Or maybe Troy doesn't really want him to say this, then he will call for him all the time. All I hear all day is Maaaa.

3. He signs More and Milk. To him I think more means I want food and milk means I want drink. I haven't really worked with him on any other signs, so this might be all he learns.

4. He loves to read books. This is his new favorite activity, he will bring you the book, say boo and then sit on your lap so you can hold the book while he turns the pages.

5. He knows where his belly is. When you ask him "where's your belly?", he tries to lift his shirt. When he sees his belly he likes to rub it and smile. Typical Man!!

6. He had to go to the doctor the other day for his excema and he is up to 24 lbs! No wonder he is so heavy.

That is all I can think of for now. I am sure we have many more fun things to come in this next month. Until then we love you baby boy!

Sick Boy and German Food

This morning Daddy got initiated into the Daddy club. While Troy was nice enough to let me sleep in, Tyler threw up all over him. I got woken up to "You have to get up now and help me". I gave Tyler a bath because I didn't think my tummy could handle throw up first thing in the morning. I was right when I saw it on Tyler's clothes I gagged a little. Tyler seemed to be fine though. While he was taking his bath he played normal and when he was done he continued to play. I don't know what caused it. He did throw up in the middle of the night too, nothing really bad but I did have to change his sheets. He has been acting normal all day but he hasn't really been wanting to eat. All day he just ate here and there. I offered it and if he ate it great but I was not going to push it on his poor little tummy.

This evening, we all got our first taste of German food. A couple of our friends love this German restaurant in Plano, so we all met up there for dinner. I was a bit scared but I figured if they liked it, I should be able to find something to eat there. It ended up being pretty good, expensive but good. Tyler wasn't really interested in trying it. I really didn't expect much since wasn't feeling too good today.

My little cutie playing with a spoon. Doesn't he look like such a big boy now!

It Must Be Instincts....

I gave Tyler a lollipop today just to see what he would do with it.... He put it in his mouth and started to suck on it. I guess there are somethings that you just don't have to teach them. And go figure its the things that are bad for them. I love how his belly is sticking out in the picture below.

Beautiful Day

We finally had a beautiful day in North Texas!!! I think it made it up to around 70 degrees. It was perfect weather for the PARK. I had to take Tyler because who knows when we will get to go again. So when Tyler woke up from his afternoon nap we headed out. Tyler had a blast. We went to this new park that one of my friends told me about. It was a pretty neat park. They had padded rubber mats in the walk ways instead of mulch. Tyler's favorite activity while we were there was picking up all the leaves and tearing them apart. Of course he had to give me every little piece that he broke off. He does the same thing with paper, its so funny.

Here are some pictures of my goofy little man:)


I am going to warn you that this looks WAY worse then it was. It actually didn't hurt Tyler at all. He decided that he loves to go down slides head first. I try to stop him and show him the proper way to go down slides but this one time I couldn't get to him fast enough. Here is a pic of him landing.


And here is him getting up and laughing at himself. He was so proud of himself. He scared me but I'm glad he thought it was funny. I have a feeling we are going to have lots of broken bones in our future.

Santa

Today I went up the mall with Dana. We wanted to bring the kids to get their Santa pictures done. Tyler did great. Aubrey didn't really like Santa. Dana got the classic baby screaming at Santa picture. Here are some pictures of Tyler getting ready to see Santa and sitting with Santa.

Introducing.....

NCN's newest employee. Finally Tyler is earning his keep. Okay well not really. I had to meet with my boss the other day, so I had to take Tyler with me. He did great while I was in my meeting. I brought him a couple of his toys and he just ran around my bosses office and played with them. These are some pictures of him that I took in my office.

Random Cuteness

Here are some random cute pics from the week.

Tyler Chillin:)

Crazy Man Hair. Gotta love static electricity!

Tyler's new favorite activity is reading. He is always bringing us books now.

Christmas Time

The tree is up and the house is decorated. I love Christmas time and it is so much more fun with my little man around.

The Christmas tree is in the dining room this year. I normally put it in the living room but that is the room that we are always in. I didn't feel like yelling at Tyler for the next month, telling him not to touch the tree, so its in the dining room. Its not like we ever used that room anyways. Hopefully after Christmas this room is going to become his playroom.


Here are the stockings. So far only Daddy's and Mommy's. My Mom is working very hard to finish Tyler's before Christmas. She made mine when I was a little baby and she made Troy's earlier this year. When she is finished all three of us will have handmade stockings from her.

Family Pictures

We had family pictures done today. I think they turned out pretty good. Tyler looks cute (he always does) and Mommy and Daddy even look good. These are scanned copies, so the quality is not the greatest.

Wednesday Suprise!!!

Today we woke up to this!!

I love how its snowing and the flowers are still blooming.

Here are couple of pictures of Tyler playing in the snow. He did not like at all. Can you really blame him? It was cold outside.
