A Cute Boy Named Tyler

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!

Tyler is now officially two! That sounds so grown up, but he's still my baby! He such a character and so much fun to have around. His new thing is to turn on light switches. He just loves to switch them on. If you turn them off after him, he'll come right back and turn them on. The hard part is when he turns on the outside lights. We don't usually know until it's dark. He still loves to throw just about everything he can get his hands on and usually throws it at anything he can. Usually it's places he shouldn't. The picture below is of items he was throwing behind the couch, but didn't quite make it.

We now have a line almost all the way across our computer screen (and it is still expanding) because of something he threw at it. Luckily what he's thrown at the t.v. hasn't caused any damage. He still loves to dance to music. He LOVES to play outside. We'll go in the backyard and he just wanders back and forth. Even when we go to the park his interest is more on just wandering than the play equipment (he does like the slide, though). Emma had a fieldtrip to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden and Tyler was just happy to be wandering the paths. Most the pictures of him are of his back because he wouldn't stand still (see picture below).

Here are a few snapshots and a video from Tyler's birthday party. I don't have all the pictures or video with his presents, but he sure had a great day.

Here's Tyler enjoying his birthday dinner, oh wait, maybe not!!!

Tyler has loved Emma's Curious George stuffed animal, but Emma didn't like baby slobber on it. So after much time searching on Ebay, I found one for him. This shows how much he loves his George. He was all smiles when he opened the package!

In this video is a part when Tyler opened his gift from Grandma and Grandpa Barlow. It was just a bag full of balls (about 9 or 10). I just love his reaction to it. The kid loves balls, so cute!

I had to put these picture in because as Danny said, "It was only a matter of time!"

I came upstairs and caught Amanda in the act of dressing Tyler in a princess outfit. The girls were laughing so hard. They thought it was the funniest thing ever! Daddy wasn't as thrilled, but was a good sport and helped Tyler put on a tiara for the picture.

You'll notice the little basketball in the background. He may be dressed like a girl, but was still throwing the ball like a boy!

I had to tack on this one that happened today. He's dressed as a fairy. I think Daddy has officially put a stop to dressing the boy up as a girl!

Sorry this entry is so long, but there's so much I haven't posted! It would be even longer if I included the girls!! Tyler is really coming along verbally. He's starting to say words and he really understands what's going on around him. He's just like his big sis Amanda when it comes to books and smarts. He loves to be read to and look at books. We have some alphabet books and he'll ask for them by the letter name. So he may be behind in talking, but he is sure picking up on everything else! Hope you have all enjoyed seeing our cute little Tyler. We sure love him and are so grateful he is part of our family!

Here's a final video that highlights our cute babies.
