Tyler's 1st birthday!

Tyler turned 1!!!  I still can't believe he is a big one year old.  We went to the doctor and his body is catching up with his head.  For the first time, his head isn't off the charts!  His stats are:

Weight - 24.75 - 75th percentile
Height - 31inches - 50th percentile
Head - 48.5 cm - 99th percentile

We had so much fun for his birthday!  Here are some pictures for those family and friends that couldn't make the party.  We love you all!

He loved the golf set!

Opening gifts with Dad



Eating cake - but unsure! Mom can't figure out how to turn my picture!



His first birthday pose for Sunday!



Bella loved the party too!

She loved the cupcake more than Tyler!

Bath Time

The kids are now bathing together and they love it.  Tyler is teaching Bella how to splash.  The always hate it when bath time ends...  (I think these are pictures they will hate when they are teenagers.)

Climbing or not...

Bella is into climbing everywhere.  She is such an explorer.  It did make me nervous when she was trying to do it in her crib yesterday morning.  She is getting so fast at crawling as well, so the gates are going up.  Tyler is just content to sit and watch her with a huge grin until she climbs on him - which he doesn't like at all!  We love these two kids so much! 

Happy Halloween!

We have been busy this week with Halloween adventures.  The kids have a lot of Halloween outfits thanks to our friends and neighbors, so they were decked out a few times.  Their real outfits were a lady bug for Bella and a Tiger for Tyler.  We went to the library for the magic show and costume parade.  Here is a sampling of the fun!  We are ready for Halloween!

Tyler's golf ball game

Favorite thing...

The kids favorite thing to do is to play with Dad.  They get all excited when he comes home (not sure why I am the non-fun parent).  I love seeing them playing together.  Makes me love my husband more and more!
