Silly Little Monkey

Still LOVES his chair!

Lovely face after chocolate chip cookie.

Tyler loves the tupperware cupboard and thinks he has to climb into everything.....

Well, since Tyler has been on his antibiotic he seems to be feeling 200% better. He has just been runing around here, getting everything out, and bascally just bouncing off walls. Allen and I on the other, just seem to get worse. Hopefully we too will see a turn around point.

Tyler seems to keep finding ways to either amaze me or make me laugh and sometimes both! The other night he had asked for a "na-na". While the banana has always been his favorite fruit, how he wants it now is not the same. No more slicing, and he does not want 1/2 with out the peel. The only way he seems to eat it is by peeling it halfway, cutting the peel (otherwise he tries to eat it) and let him have the whole thing - and he will eat it too. So I got him his nana, and he sat in my lap quietly ate on the couch. When he got down the peel where there was only 1 bite left I noticed he was "playing" with the peel. Logically thinking that he wanted that last bite and was trying to peel it with himself, I was wrong. I tried to help him and he instantly pulled it away. So as I watch, he is folding up each side of the peel, hops off my lap and walks to the pantry where the trash is. So I followed him to the pantry to open the door for him and he throws it away. This is prolly a totally "had to be there" story, but I thought is was adorable and gave me a chuckle and proud mama feeling. Maybe we can learn this boy right. :)

15 Month Check Up

Last Friday Tyler had his 15 month check up. Well I’d love to tell you that he has had a huge growth spurt, BUT he actually has only gained 6 ounces since 1 year check up?!?!? Crazy. I tell you that kid must burn absolutely everything he eats, cuz he eats like a champ and a petite little thing. Tyler weighed in at 22.6 lbs and measure 30 inches putting him in the 12th and 14th percentiles. Tyler is not a fan of hats so he would not sit still for the nurse or Dr. Conner for head circumference. Oh well.

While we were at the doctor’s Friday he had already had a cold for like a week and checked out fine. Yesterday was another story. He had a cough that progressively got worse this weekend and yesterday we BOTH stayed home as Tyler decided to share his cold. So I made us both appointments. I had a sore throat and wanted to get the clear on Strep before going to work and Tyler’s cough worsening was excuse enough to bring him in. The second she looks in his ear….. ANOTHER EAR INFECTION. Oh this poor kid! So he is on antibiotic again and already seemed better this morning and I have had no calls from daycare, so we shall see.

I know it’s been a long time since I have updated on Tyler, so this will be long. I understand if you have already stopped reading – haha!

Words – Tyler is getting better at “using his words” but every time he gets sick, it’s another set back. His most used words are: Mama, Dada, Ball, Go, Up, Down, All done, All gone, Herego, Ankyou, Ock!, Poop, ‘Side, Nana(banana not grandma), ‘Ara (for Sara the dog) and once in a while I can get a please out of him. Not too shabby. What make me really excited is that he REALLY seems to be understanding us more. The other day he dumped his blocks out and when I asked him to put them away he picked them up one by one and back in the bucket they went. And most people know he is a huge Blue’s Clues fan, and now when Steve asks where the clue is he can pick it out on the screen. I caught him doing this by accident one day and just couldn’t believe it! He is still going to the gate when you ask him if he has “ock”/poop in his diaper or if you ask him if he is ready for a nap/bed.

With the nice weather last week we sure did take advantage. Tyler absolutely loves it outside and I just didn’t have the heart keep him cooped up! Monday night we went for a walk and went in our “backyard” and played with a ball, rocks anything he could get his hands on. Tuesday I took him to the park and we walked on the trail in the park and then I let him play on the play set there which is nice cuz it’s Tyler size so he could go up and down himself. I did take him down the “big” slide a couple times and he LOVED it!

He has been so happy and so much fun lately I am just so looking forward to what will hopefully be very fun summer of parks, beaches and camping! Oh, and I PROMISE to get some new pics on here soon!!!

Welcome Baby Eli!

Tonight Tyler got to meet his very brand new baby cousin. Elliot (Eli) Anthony Davis was born at 6:21 pm Wednesday, March 11, 2009. He weighed in at just 6 lbs and 14 oz and measured 19 1/2 inches long. He has a VERY full head of dark thick hair and is adorable! Mom is doing well and both Yen and Tony are excited he is finally here! Tyler didn't really want to have anything to do with him. We sat on the couch there and he pointed to Eli and said "B" (for baby) and then said "dow' (down). I thought he might be jealous that I had another baby but there was too much to explore in that hospital room. Who says hospitals don't have entertainment?

Proud Daddy
