Tyler getting into Dave's lunch bag.

What's going on in Tyler's world these days?

Tyler's (age 10 months & 3 weeks)

Interests - Taking things in and out of boxes.

Relationships - He really likes playing with his siters and Riley Greenwall but he is definately a momma's boy.

Favorite Things - Bouncing up and down in his crip, looking out the window by his crib, playing with balls, grabbing his mommy and daddy's mouths, bitting our chins, playing on his piano and taking baths.

Learning Milestones - He is on the verge of walking, he is walking himself along the furniture and to and from different pieces of furniture as long as he can hold onto something. He is saying Da Da, Ba Ba, Dah when he sees the puppies. He puts his arms up to let us know he wants us to hold him, he rubs his face in our chest or on his arm to let us know he's tired and wants a bottle, if he just wants a bottle then he'll generally crawl to his crib to where he last had it, when he's frustrated he moves his lower jaw to the side and kind of out and moans/whines and he bounces or revs his hand when he's excited. He is learning the word no really well although he will cry when you tell him no because he hurt you. He know's who everone in his family is, if you say their name he will look at the. He is trying to start waving. He still crawls on his hands and feet with his butt in the air. He is starting to feed himself. He is wearing 18month to 3T clothes. He is definately going to be a big boy.

What's going on in Emily's world these days?

Emily's - (age 2 years & 8 months)

Interests - Helping mommy around the house, playing with Tyler and Faith Anne.

Relationships - She loves being around our friend Rachel and her kids Connor, Colby, Cade and Riley and our friend Kristen and her kids Rachel, Sarah and Hannah. But her best friend is her big sister. She is really needing extra time and approval from Dave and I right now.

Favorite Things - Yogurt, playing in water, Max and Ruby tv show, looking through books, Dr. Suess book ' I can read with my eyes shut', making silly faces, getting me the phone and helping my water the plants.

Learning Milestones - She is starting to learn her colors really well, she is starting to pay attention to letters and numbers. She is talking really well now. She is learning her boundries with attitude and telling people no. She is starting to learn to swing although she prefers to be swung. She is learning to dress and undress herself.

What's going on in Faith Anne's world these days?

This is a perfect picture to show the Faith Anne of here and now. Boy clothes, boy pose, perpetual dirty face and beautiful face and spirit.

Faith Anne's (age 4)

Interest - going to the park, playing guitar and making up her own songs.

Relationships - She is really stariting to apreciate her roll as the "big sister". Her best friend right now is Colby (who she wants to marry).

Favorite things - Spiderman, God Rocks TV Show, going to church, the color blue boy stuff and running.

Learning Milestones - She is drawing people very well. She is adding their eyes, nose, mouth with different expressions, ears, hair, legs, arms and hands and sometimes the people are holding hands. She is also trying to label her drawings by writing letters she recognizes, H, i s, c, and o. She also labels her left arm with these letters everyday now but to her it reads Faith Anne. She is very interested in writing and learning what the names of the leters are that she is writing. She is learning about our relationship with Jesus and is praying beautifully. We just stard with verse memorization and the first one she has memorized is in 1 Cor. "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good."
