It's a Zoo...

Tyler, Grandma, Grandpa, and I went to the Denver Zoo for the first time. Tyler loved looking at all of the animals and people walking by. We were so lucky to have visited on such a beautiful day! We will have to go back again very soon!

Nine Months...

Well, Tyler is nine months old today and such a joy! He is weighing in at 20 lbs. 11 oz. and is growing so much in every way. We enjoy seeing his new faces and expressions as the days go by. Tyler is finally getting more hair and it is coming in darker than most people expected. He loves to eat finger foods like Cheerios and Puffs and thoroughly enjoys meal times. He is eating pureed meats, veggies. and fruits his favorite being applesauce. The Binky is more of a toy, being eaten like an old man eats a cigar. He moves around the house climbing stairs, pulling himself up on furniture, and wandering. The days of leaving him alone in one place are long gone. He LOVES his toys and playing. He is so happy all the time and just a great little boy!

Hats Off...

...Or maybe keep them on! Tyler wanted to show off his hat collection for you. By best friend, Casey, sent us some hats that she made for Tyler and they are so cute. Casey, you should go into the hat making business. Tyler also has a couple of other hats that he wanted to show off also.

Hats from Auntie Casey...

Thank you, Auntie Casey! I love my new hats!

Other hats Tyler wanted to share with you...
