Bella's antics!

Bella is in charge! When we got home last week from Tyler's doctor appointments, Bella picked up Tyler's helmet and chased Tyler around the room trying to put his helmet back on him.  She was chewing him out the whole time.  Tyler was shaking his head no and running as fast as he could away from her.  I wasn't able to get any pictures of the scene, but I did get some later that night of her putting his pants on her head.  She just makes me laugh!  We love you Bella!

Tyler's big day!

Mom was a nervous wreck this morning and she made us wake up early and eat breakfast in a hurry.  I wasn't sure why she was making us get ready quickly - I knew everything was going to be ok.  She even laid out our clothes the night before.  Dad helped load us up in the car while mom did some last packing up of the big bag for the day.  I was just hoping that she didn't forget our snacks and juice.  Boy, do I love snacks and juice but milk is my favorite.  I was glad that she remembered my favorite snack is the chocolate chip cliff bar.  It is YUMMY!  I love saying that word.  Well, mom finally got it all together (dad was calm as can be) and off we went to the helmet doctor first.  His name is Dr. Mike and he makes me sit in a weird maching with a do-rag on my head.  I hate it!  He also likes to take lots of pictures of me and I keep trying to tell everyone that I should get paid to model, but no one seems to listen.  Well, sister seemed to like hanging out at his office because he has a fun toy box.  We got the results at Dr. Mike's office and mom seemed to be pretty happy.  I was glad because when mom is happy - we are all happy.  We had to take those results over to Dr. Siddiqui's office.  I like Dr. Siddiqui.  He was really gentle with me in the hospital and likes to massage my head.  We had to wait a long time and mom got really emotional talking to some lady in the waiting room.  I guess her boy has the same condition that I have but they didn't catch it early enough and he is having seizures and needs a brain test.  I was really blessed to have my condition caught early.  I kept hugging mommy, so she wouldn't cry anymore.   We finally got into the doctor and he said I still have two small areas that need to be watched but that I could go helmet free and not see him for a year.  I could tell mom was excited because she was jumping up and down and even hugged my doctor.  She is supposed to only hug daddy, but I was ok with it.  I got a lollipop from the nurse and she gave one to sissy.  They took more pictures of me.  I guess I really am that good looking because everyone seems to want to take pictures!  Mom even took some.  I kept trying to ask mom when we were going to see the ducks and she didn't seem to understand. We eventually made our way to the duck park after saying a prayer of thanks in the car.  Mom was afraid that I would be scared of the ducks and birds, but I loved playing with them.  Sis and I didn't want to leave, but mom made us after she took more pictures - I really need an agent!

Love Tyler!

 Walking to church on Sunday morning, and enjoying our first time in the nursery...

They let Bella go into Nursery early with Tyler when he was ready.  It really made the transition go smoothly since Bubba and Sissy were together.  It is amazing how they need to know where each other is at all times. 

Check-up time!

Tyler went in for his 18 month check-up and Bella had her 15 month check -up today.  Where does the time go???  Both kids are really healthy and doing well.  Below are their stats:

Tyler-
Weight - 25.14lbs - 50th percentile
Length - 32.5inches - 65th percentile
Head - 49.5cm - 90th percentile  (his head is catching up to his body!)

Bella-
Weight - 20.15lbs - 30th percentile
Length - 31inches - 75th percentile
Head - 45.5cm - 50th percentile

They are growing like weeds and talking up a storm too!  Tyler's favorite word to say lately is yummy.  Bella is still hung up on saying Bubba for brother.
