Tyler is 17 Months Old!

This week my parents hosted a wonderful family gathering to celebrate my brother Steven's 29th birthday & my mom's upcoming birthday.  Tyler loved seeing both of his grandmas, his grandpa, his uncles, his aunt Kristen & her parents, & his cousins.  He had so much fun playing with his cousin Ben and I loved cuddling with precious Julia. 

We met my friend Crystal and her sons, Nathaniel & Mason, for lunch at Red Robin.  We also met many of Tyler's baby friends (& their moms!) at the pool.  We got to have two playdates with Shanna, Brooklyn, & Baby Jason, and Dan & I took Tyler to the mall for dinner.  Tyler rode the carousel & played in the kids area.

Tyler learned to say "owl" this week & he loves to brush his own teeth.  :-)  He is such a good little helper.  He saw me using wipes to clean one day and then he grabbed a wipe & started cleaning too.  He also put all of his toys in his toybox one day (I thought Dan had done it!) & he is so good about bringing all of his toys in from the deck.  Dan put together a glider for our deck which has two seats - we all love it!
