Our big boy

So the struggle continues with my infrequent postings to this blog.  It's a constant struggle to keep on it but I want to try to keep up as much as possible - not only for purposes of other people seeing Tyler's constant changes but also for Mike I to look back at what was going on with Tyler when and to not forget all the milestones and funny moments!   It amazes me looking back a year ago at what Tyler looked like and what Tyler was doing compared to now. In my attempt to keep up on this and to just track the going ons of our little man I wanted to just give some recaps of funny Tyler moments or current Tyler going on's that I know I would want to remember one, two, three years from now....


TYLER.....

• is a creature of habit - if you move something from it's original place or do something in a different way then previously seen he will let you know and demand that the item, person, dog (Giiiirrrlllss), etc. go back to it's original spot
• is not a great listener - Tyler loves to push buttons and put a heart melting smile on his face when trying to discipline him (pretty sure any parent could have this one on their list!)
• loves to blow kisses and say good bye when leaving the house, daycare, at nap time, bedtime, etc.
• snuggles better then anyone in this whole world - there is nothing better then at bedtime when he rests his perfect little head on your shoulders and tucks his little hands in between you and his belly and snuggles right in
• loves to make "coco" - nothing gets this boy more excited (other then maybe hearing the phone ring - see below) then helping make coffee in the Kerig.  he knows exactly where the pods go, how to close the top, and what buttons to push (see he's an expert at pushing buttons!). 
• is obsessed with the telephone.  If the phone rings he will stop whatever he is doing and run as fast as he can into the kitchen to make sure someone is answering the phone.  If you don't answer quick enough (or god forbid at all) he will get irate!
• some of his favorite foods are - plain pasta (no butter, sauce, etc. just dry), avocado, watermelon, cheese, pretzels, crackers, raisins, apples, mac and cheese..............as well as dust bunnies, paper, any part of the rug he can rip up, any part of blankets and towels he can bite off, any amount of lotion he can get off of his body after it is rubbed on him after bath time.....and the lists go on and on!
• demands to watch "Choo Choo" (Chuggington) "Mimmy" (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and "football" A LOT
• loves to flirt with blond woman -  he likes the brunettes too sometimes but without fail if your blond he's flashing that adorable little smile
• best buddy at daycare is Oliver - who is sadly leaving our daycare at the end of the week :(
