"Rocking around the Christmas Tree...."





Where to begin? So much has happened since our last post!!!! We forgot to mention last time that right before Thanksgiving, we realized Tyler had his 2 bottom teeth coming in- which was masked by symptoms of his cold. He also began eating cereal and trying solid foods just in time for Thanksgiving! As you can see from the photos, both Benjamin and Tyler have been in the holiday spirit- Benjamin in his new Thomas the Train Christmas jammies from Memere that he wore while helping decorate the tree a couple weeks ago when Papa & Grandma were here visiting.....which was such a nice Christmas gift! My Dad is doing so much better- no doubt thanks to all of the prayers that were said for him, so he and my step-mom Karen were able to make a trip down to celebrate an early Christmas with us. Tyler has been nothing but smiles, and is always so cheerful and ON THE MOVE!!!!!!! He's been sitting up by himself forever it seems, and is content to just sit and play with his toys, except for when his big brother conveniently moves them all out of reach....and Benjamin calls Tyler "Sneaky"?! Tyler doesn't let it bother him too much though, because he also has been scooting and rolling across the room and finds a way to get whatever he is after! As you can see, he is up on all 4's and getting ready to crawl any time now- as a matter of fact, he took a couple of "steps"forward crawling today, only appropriate as Uncle Pete was in town celebrating Christmas early with us, and just a little over 2 years ago, he was a witness to Benjamin taking his first steps walking! My how fast they grow!
