happy 18 months old!

It’s hard to believe our not-so-little Sumo turned a year and half old on July 12. This past month emerged an obsession with all things trucks (especially dump trucks), and his vocabulary grows more and more each day. He continues to imitate everything we do – from clopping around the house in our shoes to [...]

happy 15 months old!

On Saturday, Tyler turned 15 months old! Balls are still his favorite toy and favorite word to repeat over and over, and he is able to spot anything ball-like within a 5 mile radius and call it out (e.g. the 76 gas station sign). This month is considered a milestone month for a few reasons [...]

happy 14 months!

On March 12, Tyler turned 14 months old!
This past month, in the midst of his constant nonsensical babbling, Tyler finally said his first real word: “ball”. He’s said “ball” before, but this time he actually knows what a ball is, in contrast to the previous months when he would point at anything and call it [...]

Happy First Birthday!

Saturday was a whirlwind. Tom left early with his mom and sister to pick up the cake and go to the restaurant. I stayed behind and waited for Tyler to finish his first nap so that he would be happy and well -rested for the day’s festivities. As soon as Tyler woke up, I [...]

welcome grandma and gomo!

2008 is off to a great start for Tyler. Shortly after returning home for Seattle, Tyler finally got to meet his other Grandma! He also discovered that he has another Aunt, Aunt Caroline! Could it get any better? Grandma and Aunt Caroline arrived on Tuesday night, flying all the way from North Carolina. Despite the [...]

11 months old!

Yesterday Tyler turned 11 months old. This past month has been very exciting because Tyler started walking! What began as a few wobbly steps has turned into full on walking. He can actually walk around our entire condo, turn, stop, bend down to pick something up, and resume walking. He’s still a little wobbly (I [...]

happy 10 months old!

Tyler finally made it to the double digits and turned 10 months old on Monday. Tyler is now an expert crawler and will walk sideways as long as he has a table/chair/sofa to guide him. Sometimes he will even let go, using his two outstretched arms with clenched fists to hold his balance. Tyler is [...]

happy 9 months old!

Today Tyler turned 9 months old. I know, it seems like he just turned 8 months old…the months are flying by even faster since he’s in daycare during the week and we only get to see him an hour in the morning and at night (dad even less since he usually comes home after tyler [...]

happy 7 months old!

It’s hard to believe that Tyler was born exactly 7 months ago on January 12, 2007 at 10:06am. Even harder to believe that I carried him in my womb for almost 10 months! Here he is in his monthly photo with his doggy chair:

A few milestones to note: Tyler is now talking more and started [...]
