Photo Overload

I know I say this a lot, but here I am again...doing some catch up work. Every day I think, "I should update our blog tonight." But when I sit down I realize what a huge job it will be since there is so much to document. So, here it is finally. Hopefully I will remember everything since I have to go back two whole months! This first picture is so funny. One morning I went to go get Tyler in the morning and when I walked to his crib this is what I saw:

(I must tell you though, his legs were NICE and toasty!) This next picture is just us playing. Don't mind my red eyes. I wore my contacts and one of them had a tear in it but I was driving to a baby shower by myself and I couldn't take it out.

Tyler was feeling exceptionally photogenic this day so I couldn't resist. The many faces of Tyler:

Gotta love him! I mean, just look at that last one again. What a smile! This next picture is what Tyler would do since he couldn't crawl. He would walk his feet forward and then move his hands while on his head. Where did he come up with that? Whatever works, right?

Ok...many of you may think I'm crazy for this next story, but whatever. Tyler's hair has been driving me crazy for a while now. It was hanging over his ears and I kept wanting to cut it. Then one day we were at church and someone said to me that Tyler had a mullet. That was it; it was getting cut...and soon! That Wednesday, March 11th, I sat him on the changing table, gave him a toy, and started cutting.

Here is the before picture:

After: "How do I look?"

"What about this side? Is it even?"

That same day Tyler also got his second tooth. Then on Friday he pulled himself up for the first time on our TV unit. Monday this is what I found after his nap:What a big boy! Tyler is definitely a BOY. He loves any kind of ball and is a great basketball player. I'll try later to figure out how to post a video on here, but I don't know how yet. I almost forgot...Thursday, March 19th Tyler FINALLY started crawling! He's all over the place now.

Playing guitar:

This right here is Tyler's whining face. I just thought I would share with you. He's not ALL smiles. We see this face quite often actually.

He loves reading. He likes to take every book off the shelves and look at them. He actually likes to take every toy out too and not play with them. Kids!

We started giving Tyler some of those little Gerber Graduates puffs and one day one didn't quite make it into his mouth. "What, do I have a booger on my face or something?"

Mr. Handsome

Tyler giving kisses to his "friend." They play every morning.

Our little Sports' Fan. Patrick and I got to go the Angels' game a couple of weeks ago. We sat in the eighth row just in front of 3rd base. They were GREAT seats. It was also free blanket night! We didn't even have to pay for the tickets...even better! We did forget our camera though. :(

We were going through Tyler's 12 month clothes a couple of weeks ago just to see what he has already. We bought this little onesie when I was pregnant and Pat has been looking forward ever since then to the day when Tyler could wear it. We tried it on and it fit perfectly. Daddy is very jealous though because he doesn't even have a jersey yet. Boo hoo....Too bad they got new uniforms this year!

Happy Easter!

Once again we decorated eggs with Rebecca and Jaime. Something tells me it will be a little more eventful when Tyler can join in. I made one for each of us: Patrick, Kelly, and Tyler.

The finished products: Pat's are in the back & mine are in the front in case you couldn't figure that out. ;)

I was in charge of bringing dessert to Easter dinner and I always feel like I have to come up with something new and exciting. Let me just ask, "What was I thinking?" I made these little cheesecake eggs. They took two days to make and were a PAIN in the rear! They were delicious though.

Pat got to help me "decorate" them. It was a little more exciting than the regular eggs.

I had also bought some strawberries the day before so at the last minute I decided to dip some of those too. TASTY! I love strawberries.

We didn't get any real Easter pictures of Tyler since he spit up all over his sweater! Here he is in his church clothes though. I bought this gate to take to work but it's too big. It works great in the living room when I can't keep an eye on him. He loves to just walk around the edges. We just put a bunch of toys in there and he's good to go.

I just love this kid so much!

I think he was trying to escape!

I think that's enough pictures for one post. There are plenty more for a second post very soon. I PROMISE it will be soon!
