TYLER'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

We had a great time on Tyler's birthday. We had my family over for cake and ice cream.
Tyler loved the balloons (should have just passed that off as our gift to him)!!

And he was very patient with all the siblings and cousins wanting to "help" him open his presents. He received ocean finger puppets, bubbles, a singing cookie jar, a singing tool bag, a book and a riding toy...thanks everyone for the gifts!

Steve and Mindy had birthday's two days before Tyler, so we thought we'd celebrate all 3 birthdays!

You can't have a party without pizza?!?

I have to admit that Tyler's cake was not his first taste of cake, or sugar for that matter (he was exposed to sugar from the VERY beginning - I only crave and eat sugar during my pregnancies) however, he still really enjoyed the cake, tried to share a little, and then tried the newest craze in facials - cake masks!

Now that Tyler is officially 1 year old, here's a few things about him at 12 months.

Tyler:

- can crawl up and down the stairs

- still only has 7 teeth, but is working on 4 molars!

- knows where his tongue is

- "brushes" his hair

- dances whenever he gets to take a bath

- is babbling like crazy and can say, "yeah" when asked a question

- gave up his binky a few days before his birthday..and then changed his mind...

- graduated to a bigger car seat
