Poor Tyler... He woke up from a LONG afternoon nap (nearly 3 1/2 hours!), and mom took him directly outside. He was too distraught with hunger to notice that I'd brought his snack outside with us- and he had a typical meltdown. Mean mom caught in on camera for all to see :)
Fits of disbelief- where's the snack?!?!
Really sad, single tear drop
Relief- eating through the tears
New pj's from grammy Linda... and Tyler waiting for me to get his milk. He has learned how to sign language for thirsty and hungry (same sign... mom has to figure out which is needed!). It's been WONDERFUL that Tyler can communicate just this little bit. He's still not saying much that is comprehensible, but doing tons of babbling. He will occasionally say "mama" now, though it's not directed at me. His new word with direction is "cat"... with a large emphasis on the "t" at the end. It comes out as an adorable "ca-TAH"!!
OH!!!!!!! I taught him how to kiss me on the cheek tonight!!! But history says this lesson will be forgotten by tomorrow morning :( I'll keep working on it!
Too tall for his favorite resting and quite time place, but still hanging out none-the-less. He gets head bumps here often :)
First (of likely many) shared baths with Winston!!

Tyler and mom playing in the front yard on Friday before going to daycare for the afternoon so mom could get a few things done.
SO curious about all the new sounds (that he finally seems to hear since his tubes were placed)!
"Okay... I have the keys!! It's time to go!!"
Family outing to the Irish Festival. Tyler had a lot of fun exploring and sightseeing (in the beginning...)
Watching with fascination as the bagpipers go by.
Rocking with the band. Tyler loves to dance to music!
Being social and getting the adoration of strangers :) 
Dad's ticking mom off by taking a picture and telling her to show the nastiness on the front of her shirt that Tyler's body is hiding.
