New Skills-
Running! Tyler is a full-fledged running machine these days. He can't get anywhere fast enough which also, of course, means he runs into objects (like our recliner chair that has been in the exact same position for his entire life) and face plants sometimes too. For the most part, it doesn't phase him but sometimes a short little whiny cry escapes before he realizes it's not actually life threatening.
This leads into his next new skill- climbing! He tries to climb onto or into pretty much everything, sometimes with success, sometimes with total failure and sometimes without much result at all. He reaches on tip toes and pulls his knee up as high as it can go but can't get up to the couch or previously mentioned chair yet. He did, just the other day, grab onto the back of one of our kitchen chairs and pull his body parallel with the seat in a superman type pose. It was crazy. He LOVES sitting on adult sized chairs/couches but hasn't fully grasped sitting (as opposed to standing) so it usually ends in a fit of frustration.
Old Favorites-
Legos- Tyler still loves them. We still hide them in the closet most of the time because when they're out they are pretty much the only thing he'll play with.
Books- but now he'll sit still long enough to read them!
New/Old Favorite-
Kitchen spoons and plastic bowls are both a new skill and an old favorite at the same time. He, sometime recently, figured out he loved these items and since that day, is either holding one of the items in his hand or standing at the kitchen counter pointing to the utensil holder whining that he wants one!
Other news-
Tyler is preparing for his week long Thanksgiving-vacation with grandparents! Kevin and I are off to the Dominican Republic for a week while Tyler holds down the fort in Iowa, he has to stay to help keep both sets of his grandparents in line. I'm sure Tyler will hold up just fine....me, on the other hand, may be a different story! I've never been away from him for more than a few days so a week will be interesting. I am sure the sun, sand and ocean waves will help though!
And one more, just for good measure-
