Tyler pulls himself up on everything there is to pull up on. In this picture it is the little foot rest thing that moves around and he really thinks he is a hot shot when he climbs up to it. Luckily he hasn't gotten hurt when he is pulling himself up on things. But the coffee tables and end tables make me really nervous. They are glass tables. Why we got them I don't know..if we would have thought about it for any length of time I know we would not have purchased them but it was our first time buying furniture and we just got what was appealing to our eye and didn't think about kids getting eyes poked out or broken teeth or even the fact that you can see everything on a glass table. Oh well, we'll figure something out before Tyler gets injured!
You can also tell in this picture that he isn't quite so shaggy. His haircut makes him look like a little boy and not a baby anymore. But his hair grows fast. I can tell a difference even from a week ago when it was just cut.

Tyler loves to play outside. On most days we sit outside in the front yard and chase ants for a little while. He loves to go up and back on the sidewalk and driveway exploring. A lot of times he is following the ants. Gross! I don't know what i"m going to do when he starts picking them up and wanting me to look at them...I hate any kind of bug or anything like that. Guess I'll wait till the time comes and maybe God will change my hear toward the little things.
He could play outside all day and pick up the gross stuff and eat acorns, and rocks and grass. But sometimes we have to cut our play time short because it it so incredibly hot. So when we go inside he wants to sit by the window and look outside. I know this little guy is going to enjoy the outdoors. But I'm a little nervous about it, especially if he is outside with his Daddy and his Uncle Mike and Paul. you never know what these guys are going to do. I had to add the picture of what they do outside while Tyler is playing with the ants and acorns. You may wonder what the heck they are doing. I definitely did. They were trying to kill the squirrel that kept throwing the acorns down on the driveway and interrupting their basketball time. Yes they were throwing the basketball up to try to hit the squirrel. Why they thought they could actually hit the little thing with a basketball I have no idea but those are the kids of weird things these guys do! It really was funny to watch and I'm sure the people who drove by when they were standing out there looking up the tree wondered what the heck these guys were doing!

For those of you who haven't seen Tyler crawl, he is definitely famous for the bear crawl. He went from the army crawl straight to the bear crawl. He goes pretty fast too! I guess this form of crawling works well outside when you don't want to get the knees scraped up.

Now for dinner time. This boy can do some eating. he is going to be like his father in the food department I believe. He will eat anything and a lot of it! He is very determined. When he wants his food he wants it now and he will let you know if you are taking to long. If you stop for a split second he is yelling at the top of his lungs with his hand in the air. And you better get the food in his mouth. It is really quite entertaining because every few bites he just lets out a loud yell and shakes his arms. I don't know if he is saying it is so good or hurry up

and get me more. But nevertheless, it is entertaining. He holds his cup and bottle and even wants to feed himself with the spoon. I don't know that he is ready for that so whenever

I can I just give him finger food that he can do himself. I'm not all about the incredible messy stuff though. I'm learning.
