Tyler is one year old! Time is so strange. In one sense, it feels like ages ago that we were in the hospital with a new baby, but on the other hand, I don't know where the year went! It definitely felt faster than Sam's first year, where we paid attention to him, and only him, ALL of the time. Tyler gets a little gypped sometimes with a 2 year old brother who also needs a fair amount of attention.
We love seeing Tyler's personality continue to develop. Many people get excited when they get a smile out of him, saying that he's usually got a concerned look or a scowl on his face. This is mostly true. He's not an angry child, in fact, he's quite happy, but he does sometimes have a strange way of showing it. When you do get a smile and laugh out of him it's definitely contagious though.
He loves to dance. He's obsessed with Alexa, our amazon echo. He loves playing with his brother, he has 4 teeth and has taken a few tentative steps on his own. We're so glad he's ours. :)
Before people showed up to party we had a trial run for opening gifts.
Lots of family came up to celebrate with us. Sam was great until Tyler started opening presents. He really, really, really wanted to help. AKA he wanted to open all of the presents.
The slide makes a great baby treadmill...
Tyler definitely loved his cake and ice cream.
Sometimes it's crazy to think that these boys are mine forever. Literally forever. And when I do think about it, I realize just how blessed I really am.
Happy birthday Tyler.
