Tyler turned 2 years old on Saturday, April 24th. We can't believe how fast he is growing up, but at the same time it's hard to imagine our lives before our "baby" boy arrived. Tyler is becoming such a smart, curious, and entertaining little boy! His newest trick is putting several words together to ask questions and say phrases. We are still working on praying....he's got the "amen" part down but he tends to get distracted in the middle of the prayer. He is starting to show interest in potty training so we may start experimenting with the "big boy potty" soon. We are about to convert his crib into the toddler bed since he managed to escape once already! Tyler loves to count things, color, play with balls & blocks and dance. He also enjoys playing basketball and being outdoors. He recently learned how to tell us his age and read his name. He has taken up singing lately too....ha ha. His favorite foods are definitely yogurt and vanilla ice cream, and his favorite drink is water. Tyler's favorite tv shows are: Yo Gabba Gabba, Hip Hop Harry, Mickey Mouse, Sesame Street, and The Backyardigans, and he LOVES all his learning dvds. He asks for them by name now!

Tyler had his 2 year check-up at the peds office yesterday. He weighed 28 pounds which put him in the 50th percentile for weight and he was 35 inches tall which put him in the 70th percentile for height. We couldn't believe how much Tyler has gone up on the chart in weight. At his last check-up he was only in the 25th percentile for weight. This was the 1st time Tyler got weighed on the big scale and he was measured standing up too.....no more baby scale or measurement table for 2 year olds! Tyler currently wears size 2T in clothing and wears either a 7.5 or 8 in shoes.
