Tyler started walking on August 7th and hasn't looking back since. He gets sturdier every day and I still catch myself in awe that this is little baby Tyler! Along with walking, he is apparently getting taller because he now ends up with things in his hands that used to be just out of reach.
Some days he's a jabber jaw and some days he's not, and while he's not really saying many words- I think "da" and "up" are both part of his repertoire. Also, sometime in the last few weeks he learned how to point. I don't remember the date but I remember the scenario...Kevin walked in the door from work, Tyler pointed at him with definite purpose, Kevin said "when did he learn how to point", I said "today, I guess, since yesterday he didn't". Change happens fast around here!
Tyler got his first box of legos for his 1st birthday and they are a definite hit. He has learned how to put them together and take them apart, put them all away in the box and then dump the box out again, carry them one by one and hand them off to whoever is around like he's Santa Claus delivering gifts. On the positive side, he only loved putting them in the bathroom garbage can for 1 day so none have been gifted to the garbage man (I think)!
When it comes to eating, he's got a mind of his own. He loves cottage cheese, apple sauce, cheerios, avocado, banana, spaghetti and meat sauce, burritos, meatloaf, lasagna, and pretty much anything else we can come up with. He loves all of these things until he decides he doesn't- at any given moment on bite 2 or bite 25 and then it's actually impressive how strong-willed he remains in protest. Wonder where he got that from?! He started using a sippy cup recently, another one of those things where I was gone for one day and when I returned Kevin said "oh he drinks out of his cup now". WHAT?! I'd been trying for weeks and then Kevin swoops in and he just does it....ahhhhh it's true, dads rule and moms drool (in some situations).
