Tyler is 2!

Our baby is two! His checkup went well, he was 37" tall (95th percentile) and 30.4 pounds (50-75th percentile). He is growing up so quickly. He's learning more words everyday and has started to repeat what we say - or at least try. He's adjusted to his big boy bed very well now and stays in until it's time to get up. He's finally started eating better, though he's still not a fan of vegetables. We have switched to 2% milk, though he would drink half a gallon a day if I would let him. We're working on drinking more water and limited his milk - which could be the cause of him eating better. We had his two year old pictures taken last weekend so I'll post those as soon as we get them.

Birthday weekend

My mom, sister and her husband came to visit this weekend to celebrate Tyler's birthday. Saturday we had fun visiting the Hoover Dam and had a party after Ty woke up from his nap.

He wasn't sure what to do with the candle, but liked it after daddy blew it out.

Yummy Sesame Street cake!

Karissa and Morgan had to leave Sunday morning so we decided to take mom to visit Mount Charleston. This is one of the skiing areas in Las Vegas. They already had snow and we were not prepared for the 45 degree weather. We stopped and ate lunch by this clear stream - it was a really cool area and probably would've walked around more except we were so cold, we ate our lunch quickly and headed back to the truck and turned the heat on. Who would've thought - snow in Vegas? We kept pointing it out to Tyler and he started saying "more snow, more snow" so we stopped so he could play in it - but then he wanted nothing to do with it. Figures.

We look forward to visiting Mount Charleston again and maybe even skiing this winter.

Splash pads!

Henderson is full of parks - there are at least three parks within a mile of our apartment and we've been to all of them and more. Last week we got invited to a park that had a splash pad. What is a splash pad you may ask...it is super fun, free, and the kids love them! The pictures will explain.

BBB

Big Boy Bed! After several weeks of Ty climbing out of the crib we finally took the front off and added a side rail so he could get in and out by himself. It's been almost a week and we still have trouble staying in bed, but he's getting much better and only gets out one or two times. He loves being able to get in and out all by himself.

Red Rocks

We took our first trip to Red Rock Canyon today. Forgot to bring our camera though so these pics are from my camera phone. If you want to see it better you'll have to come see it for yourself! Ha-or just wait till we visit again! And remember our camera.
