Silly Boy

Remember how I mentioned that Tyler likes to hold the edge of his fitted sheet when he sleeps? And how he usually ends up sleeping under it? (I think I mentioned it...)

I went to get him up from his nap the other day, and he was happily chillin' in his favorite comfy spot! Under the sheets!

We played some Peekaboo with the crib. Not sure how that was funny since he could see me the whole time, but he laughed. ;)

We played some hide-the-bottle-under-the-sheet, which was apparently hysterical.

 

Ahhhh I love this kid! lol

Christmas Card Shoot Take One

 I am aware that it is only November. But with a toddler and a Great Dane, it's best to get started early.

Today was more like "see how they react to odd things on their heads". ;)

Here's how they reacted.

Happy at first:

Tyler "Here ya go Dex! Let me help!"

Dex: "Hey, what does Tyler have? That looks tasty!"

 

Tyler: "Here Dex, you can share my bribery M&M."

Tyler "I am way too cool for this thing"

Dex: "Oh to be outside away from all this..."

Yea, not even close! We'll try again later...

Rag Quilts

New Blog Alert!!

I finally set up a page for my quilts. It was easiest for me to do it in blog form, since I already know what I'm doing here. Go check it out!

Wordless Wednesday

We Love the Park

Drummin' with some sticks, as always!

Something caught his eye...

Gotta take a closer look

And playing with the tree.

We are loving being outside these days!!

How to Feed the Dog: By Tyler

{There's a video of this on my Facebook, but these were too cute to not post them somewhere. :)}

1) Stick your whole torso in the container to reach the scoop

2) Grin at Mama because she caught you.

3) Make sure you have a few pieces in the scoop, then carry it to the dog bowl.

4) Dump the food into the bowl, trying not to spill. (But not succeeding!)

5) Repeat. Again and again and again. ;)

Burt's Bees

I'm only addicted to it.

I keep one in my pocket, one in my purse, and one by my bed. (insert me blushing here)

Tyler got hold of one of them today.

He put it in the Diaper Genie.

It's now in the trash. :(

That's stuff is NOT cheap.

I was NOT a happy mama. ;)

My Lil' Climber

Houston, we have a problem!

 

That's right, my little guy is no longer too little to climb onto, well, everything. The couch, the dining room table, and as you can see, the bed. He doesn't even need anything to give him a boost.

We do the following many times daily:

Tyler heads upstairs. I follow "chasing" him, while he laughs. He climbs onto our bed as fast as he can. He flails about in the pillows. I yell "Tyler Sandwich!!". He flings himself face down on the bed. I "fall" on top of him and "squish" him while he giggles that adorable little boy giggle. ♥
*This is the "flings face down on the bed part" in case you couldn't tell. ;)*

 ...and a random cute picture...

 Bed time for my baby boy! He sleeps with his special blanket (from a family friend) and his special "Stitchy-Stitch". (from Mama Kels) ♥

And yes, still with a bottle. I'm not worried about it like I used to be. ;)

Let's Make Some Pizza!

Q: What's better than homemade pizza?

A: Homemade pizza made by a Mama and her little boy, that's what! 

Tyler got a kick out of helping with the toppings.

Some for the pizza:

Some for Tyler:

Maybe even some for Dexter: (Because spills are inevitable when cooking with a 17 month old!)

Time for some pepperoni!

I didn't take any pictures of the finished product, or of him eating it, because it was gone too quickly! (And because I was busy eating too!) We made dinner together, and ate on the floor in the living room while watching Winnie the Pooh. ♥

Super Proud

Tyler was trying so hard to get into his car by himself! He kept ending up backward. Poor guy!

When he finally did it, he gave me a HUGE grin. SO SO proud of himself! ♥

Instead of going for a walk today, we went out back and I pushed him back and forth on the porch. Over and over and over and over again. Dexter thought it was terrifying and chased us and ran around the yard barking. His antics made Tyler laugh hysterically!

(I know it's a bad picture, but hey, I was pushing the car and taking a picture at the same time!)

A random pretty picture of my taller-than-the-lawn-mower puppy.
