Uh oh....get out the parenting manual!!!

13 months old today...and now the tough work begins. The first year he was all cute, cuddly and adorable. Now we're hearing the call to be true parents. It was fun while it lasted...see for yourself. And this was on the FIRST day. It got worse on day 2...with Mommy as the victim that time. So far, Tyler is not responding to any form of discipline, traditional or otherwise. We'll gladly accept any suggestions!!!

Bare Feet



Like his Mommy, Tyler prefers his feet naked at all times. I, for one, can't blame the boy!

Living the Beach Life in February

We had a few warm days recently and Tyler got his first taste of the sandbox (a wee bit literally.) He LOVED it!!! Now he points to the deck to go outside even on cold days!!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Little Tyler!

Today marked Tyler's official leap into toddlerhood. He's 1. No longer a baby, and certainly not a little boy, he's come a long way these past 12 months. Here are a few moments that made this year so amazing...


One month old. He slept so much and was an easy baby!


2 months and his smile was adorable!


At 4 months Tyler had a procedure to check his airway. He got "tagged" at Vandy.


My first personal photo shoot! I took lots of pictures and got this keeper!


Mother's Day. Tyler is 4 months old:


School's out! Jack is LOVING being a big brother:




Who would've thought a Pack N Play bassinet could hold a baby and a 6 year old?


5 months. Father's Day:


Summertime. Loving visits to Mimi and Grandpa's house, our Boston friends and Meemaw's, swimming, and hanging out:




Fifth's Disease:


5 months and almost sitting, first airplane ride:



6 months...sitting alone!


Has his first girlfriend at Sunday School:


7 months: Making new friends and his first tooth. During this month he begins to stand and crawl, too!!





More teeth arrive and Tyler has his 2nd photo shoot at Frogs and Fairies photography.




Goodbye summer!


October finds us with a little pumpkin of our own! He made an adorable lion for Halloween!


We took a fun day trip to Chattanooga to catch up with some of our February 08 baby friends:


Fall was a busy time for Tyler, as he was constantly on the move! In November, our 10 month old enjoyed playing in the leaves and an amazing trip to California.




At 11 months old, December was a fun time of year. Tyler got to experience snow and has become a mischievous little boy!




Christmas and Santa (no tears this year!):




January...we head into the home stretch of this first year with our 11 month old. Our little guy is walking with a walker, standing without holding on, beginning to talk with a handful of consistent approximations, and even gingerly takes a step or two from time to time.



Today we say "Happy Birthday" sweet angel baby. Our world wouldn't be near as rich without you in it. We love you!
