10 Months Old

Robert Tyler is 10 months old!  This month Beau cut two new teeth, started standing by himself for a few seconds, has been trying to feed himself puffs and yogurt melts, and is helping Mommy get himself undressed before bath time!  He also had his first official cold that lasted about 10 days.  He was a real trooper and still wanted to play and be as happy as he could.  For a little guy who didn't feel well, he went pretty easy on Mommy and Daddy.  Beau also decided this month that he didn't always need to take two naps.  However, Mommy didn't agree so we compromised on some afternoon stroller naps.  It's been another great month of raising this sweet little boy!  Robert, you make every day a blessing for us.  XOXO

Happy 1st Father's Day, Daddy!

Beau is so incredibly lucky to have his Daddy!  Jack is so loving, attentive and playful with his little boy.  They love to read together, "wrestle" around, go on walks, relax and watch Baby Einstein before bath time, and most recently, play ball together.  Beau is slowly but surely becoming a Daddy's boy.  He waves bye bye to Daddy when he leaves for work (and sometimes even sheds some tears) and cannot contain his excitement when Daddy arrives back home in the evening.  It is so wonderful to see this special bond between them grow everyday.  I know they have so many amazing adventures ahead of them!  Happy Father's Day, Jack!  We love you! XOXO

We went to Lakeshore Park on Father's Day afternoon and played ball and ran around and just enjoyed the beautiful day and spending time together.

Grammy and Grampy

Beau and I flew to see Grammy and Grampy in The Villages, Florida for a few days.  We had a great visit full of new toys, swimming, playing and lots of laughs!

9 Months Old

Robert Tyler is 9 months old!  Beau is continuing to grow and learn everyday.  He is crawling around everywhere, has started to recognize and respond to his name, cruise along the couch and ottoman, stand up independently while holding onto something with one hand, and has cut his 5th tooth.  He's also starting to wave!  He loves playing with balls, all sizes and colors, and is trying to "throw" a ball back and forth with Mommy or Daddy.  He still loves books and is also loving anything puppy related.  Mr. turtle continues to be a bath time favorite, too.  This month we also celebrated our first Mother's Day and went on our first family beach vacation to Destin, Florida.  Another fun highlight from this month was attending our first Kindermusik class.  Beau loved playing with the bells, banging on the big drum and listening to our group leader sing songs.  Our attempts at month milestone pictures are getting more and more interesting.  As Beau gets busier and busier and develops his own opinion, our pictures are becoming more action shots.  I finally strapped him into the highchair to get a still shot : )  What a fun month!  Can't wait to see what next month brings.
