All Things Tyler

So, I've been accused of not posting enough. No good excuse except the computer has been acting up, I've tried to get back into working out and it is taking a major chunk out of my 'free' time, and now that Tyler can walk - nothing is safe! ;)

The first part of 2011 has been uneventful, yet still busy! In January & February we went to an ISU basketball game or two. February marked 15 months for Tyler. He weighed in at 30 1/2 inches and 19 pounds, 10 ounces. Believe it or not, that puts him in the 32% for height and 1% or lower in weight. We were told to 'bulk him up'. Go figure right after that he gets sick and doesn't eat for almost a week!

We have stayed in Des Moines for a change, letting our family come to us! We attended 4 Saturday volleyball tournaments for our niece Belle throughout February & March, with the Perkin's and Newman's all visiting. Papa Knute, Grandma Denise, and Great Grandma Peterson visited for a Sunday afternoon as well.

So - here are a few pictures of our early 2011 happenings, with more to come - and some good stories as well!

Tyler has figured out that he can get into the cereal cupboard and does so daily. He knows that there is cereal, crackers, and cookies in here and he will bring them to us often.

Our Saturday morning relaxation lately has been to get coffee and the newspaper from the gas station and hang out in our pj's. As you can see, we're starting him off early on the java! He gets very angry when you take away his coffee cup. Just like I assume his dad was, this little monkey is a climber. He likes to take all the dipaers out and stand in his caddy. I've caught him often on his table and fire truck in the living room. He has also quickly become at ease on the little slide in the basement. I will work on getting pictures, but in a matter of a month or so we went from being scared of it to climmbing up it backwards and standing on top, looking to dad to tell him no. Need an explanation? He has a fasination with the swiffer. If he gets the chance to sneak into the laundry room, off he goes in every room of the house, cleaning.
