The Pumpkin Patch 2011

Daddy's idea of feeding me dinner...

Our little Monkey....

Tyler is definitely a climber! Scares me to death... I had just changed his diaper and walked across the hall to wash my hands and came back to this! I was gone for the like 30 seconds and he managed his way up there... and he was SO proud of himself! I had to laugh!

I love Bella!

Tyler loves the dogs! We still aren't sure what they think of him! He wants to constantly follow them around and pet them. He just laughs and laughs when they go to kiss him.

A few random pictures...

Tyler loves to play with the dog biscuits and loves to give the dogs treats! We just have to keep an eye on him because he's been known to put a few in his mouth!

Peek-a-boo! His new favorite game is emptying out a cabinet and then climbing inside. He loves to climb inside anything he can- baskets, tubs, his old car seat that is in the basement, etc...

Tyler loves this bucket and loves to walk around with it on his head- Jeff likes to joke that he has my brain. Haha! It's amazing how well he will walk around and not run into anything! Definitely makes us laugh though!

He loves playing in Daddy's closet!

Labor Day weekend with my cousins...

Jason, Laura, Jake, Meg, Kyle and Max came to visit us over Labor Day weekend. It was so much fun to have them here! Grandma and Grandpa also came that weekend. We went to downtown Chicago one of the days and went shopping and to Navy Pier. We also went to the Labor Day Fair in downtown Naperville but didn't last very long because it was SO hot!! It was great just to see all the kids together and get to just "hang out". Wish we could do it more often!! We miss seeing them!

Tyler LOVES to play outside!

Tyler loves to play outside! We love our yard and so does he. He usually goes straight for the sandbox but also love to play golf with Daddy, chase Keely & Bella (well at least he tries to), goup and down the slide, swing on the swing and he loves to find rocks and play in the dirt- he is all BOY!!

21 weeks pregnant!

Tyler and the dogs made this "doggie door" from the broken screen door at our house.

18 weeks pregnant!

Snack time...

That's what I get for letting him get "a few" out himself!

Crazy hair!!

Believe it or not this is how he tends to wake up in the morning... no gel or anything in this hair! It just stands straight up on its own!! We get a lot of comments about his crazy hair- so glad the top has started to catch up with the rest of the head! :)

Classes at My Gym...

Tyler started taking classes at a place called My Gym in July and loves it. He's still trying to get used to the teachers but loves all the activities there... They start with circle time: songs, finger plays, stories, a dance and the gymnastics skill of the day. Then, they get some time for free play in the gym. He's our little climber so he is just in heaven. He loves walking up and down the slides, the ball pit, the stairs, the trampoline and the big purple ball! After free play they have two more gymnastic skills to work on with the teachers like hanging on the bars, walking the beam, somersaults, etc... They also have swing time where they hang a bunch of swings from the ceiling- he loves to swing! Independent time is where the kids go with the teachers and the rest of the class and do puzzles, musical instruments, ride-on toys, balls, etc... At the end of class they always do a game and then meet in the big red circle for a story, closing and the good-bye song. We look forward to class every week!

Nana and Papa's visit in August...

I love going down the slide Nana and Papa bought me for my birthday!

Nana and Papa came to visit us for about a week while Daddy was on his annual golf outing in Michigan. It was so much fun to see them and spend time with them!!
