Bailey Beth - 10 Months
Our little princess turned 10 months old on Easter Sunday. Her big milestones for this month are: feeding herself finger foods, doing the "wounded soldier crawl", getting 2 more upper front teeth, and she can walk around while holding onto our fingers. Her favorite food is yogurt and we've slowly started introducing formula into her diet. She loves for me to sing "I see the Moon" and it seems to instantly relax her.
Tyler Turns Three!!
Our little guy turned 3 years old on Easter Sunday! Below I'm listing 36 interesting facts about our sweet 36 month old. I got this idea from my friend Jennifer's blog, and I thought everyone would find it more fun to read than paragraphs.

10. Loves going to church to "see his friends" and always comes home singing a new song
11. Gets jealous of Bailey Beth, but would never trade her for anything
12. Tyler can be OCD - one should never mess with how he organizes his cars
13. He is extremely sensitive to others' feelings and is very concerned when someone is sad or hurt
14. Balls and cars are still his favs

20. Favorite foods are: ice cream, kielbasa, yogurt, hot dogs, broccoli, and bologna (healthy, huh ;)

The Lord's Prayer
Check out Tyler's Easter surprise for Jesus!! We say prayers every night before bed and about 2 weeks ago Ben decided to try something new instead of just doing the "Please help me with.....or thank you for....." prayers and we added in The Lord's Prayer. We weren't trying to teach Tyler to memorize the prayer as we only said it once per night as he was sleepily laying in bed, but about 4 nights ago he stunned us at dinner as he recited the entire prayer for us!! He doesn't pronounce every word correctly, but he tries. We know that Jesus is pleased with our little boy!!
