More Pictures from back East

Hanging out with GiGi looking at the ocean for my very first time!! :)

The ocean was so interesting...so big.

Watching the waves crash on the shore with Aunt Mary.
Running towards the sand dune...I felt so small out there.
Tasting seaweed...not too shabby!! ;)Posing with my cousin Paige.

My Cone Head sundae from Friendly's...one of my Mom's favorites when she was growing up!!

I approved of Mom's tastes! It was delicious!! Yummy! :)

At Aunt Debbie's shop, Pollywogs. I really liked the buttons on that airplane!

Tyler has been talking up a storm lately. He is really starting to "parrot" any words that we say and we enjoy teaching him new tricks. He likes to help bring "yucky" items to the garbage can and put them in. Aunt Gretch and Aunt Bean thought this new trick came in handy too! :)

A few of the words he now says: baby, Nini (the name of a chinese doll Gretchen brought home for him), doggy, gobble gobble, dirty, yucky, car, ball, blankie, night night, Claire, Adam, Bean, Matt, Papa, Daddy, Ma Ma, apple, meow, ruff ruff, Baxter, light, nose, eye, mouth, Jesus, and his favorite: cookie!

He can now point out where his mouth, nose, eyes, hair, tongue, and ears are when asked. And boy can the kid climb!! He is becoming pretty proficient at throwing and kicking balls. (I think we may have an athlete on our hands.)

It is truly amazing how quickly he is learning and growing. We are continually fascinated with his development. He has started to become very independent and he will let you know what he does and does not want! We are working on teaching him patience, but at 16 months he has a ways to go...but don't we all!?! Our little guy is a lot of fun and we are still loving every minute of him!! :)

Random Pictures

A picture with my buddies Tiara and Sophie at Danielle's baby shower for Makayla. We had a good time wrestling balloons! :)

Playing in the water at the Museum Center. I really liked to splash around and throw the boats into the water.

Driving the car in the special Clifford exhibit at the Museum Center. Mom kept trying to get me to play with all of the other things there, but my favorite was the car.

Mom and Dad got me this potty a little bit ago and I love to sit on it and play my "video games". They are special for just when I am on the potty. I have not actually gone potty in there yet but I am thinking about it...I do close the lid when I am "all done". Mommy says that is a good thing!

Being pushed on the swing by my buddy Jess! She comes to visit me just about every day. I like to hang out with her.

Next to the tire swing, this is my favorite swing to ride on and have the big kids push me. It is so relaxing that the other day I fell asleep in it! :)

Hanging with my cousin Joshua. He likes to make fish faces...he is so silly! :)
