It's a good thing my computer saved my name and password to this blog, because I don't remember what they are. I know it's been a very long time since I posted, but I either forget or just don't have time. Anyway, here's a quick update. We have loved living upstairs with a bedroom for Tyler. I have definately been able to get more things done without his crib being in the frontroom. I have also been more aware of keeping my yard clean. I planted a flower garden, and my sister-in-law, Angie, helped me plant a vegetable garden, which is growing fast. Our house is really starting to look better. We hope to paint it some time this summer if we can afford it.
Tyler is getting so big (for Tyler), he weighs a little over 20lbs and can finally wear 12 month clothes, although he is still able to fit into 3 month shorts. He has been learning pretty quickly these last couple of months. He copies what people say, although you can't understand him. His favorite word right now is "ewwww", and he pronouncing that quite clearly and loudly. He can say, "up please", which sounds more like, "uh mmm", but it gets the point across. He also copies sounds, like a chair scraping across the floor, someone whistling, or if the phone beeps when it's battery is low. It's funny to see what sounds he is tries to immitate.
Tyler loves the water. He loves taking a bath. I think that's the time when I see him the happiest. He splashes and scoots around on his tummy. By the time it's time to wash his hair, it's already soaked. He has learned to climb into the tub, so I frequently find him with a soaking wet bum because our faucet leaks. Jeff put him in the sink one day. He was entertained for about an hour. I had to pry him out of it so I could get stuff done without worrying about him doing a faceplant off the sink. So if you are ever babysitting for me and he is being hard to handle, put him in water!!
There was a deer in our yard today. It was huge! I posted a picture of it. I can't believe I actually had a camera when I needed one! Well, that's all the new stuff I can think of right now. Hopefully I will be able to post again soon!
