Tyler is growing SO fast!

It's amazing. it's like one morning he wakes up and decides to do 15 new things that just throw us for a loop. In the past week or two he has done the following:

  • Throws his diaper in the trash after we change him and then claps that he did a good job.
  • Says "dude"
  • One day I walked up to him and said "Tyler!" and shook my hands. He shook his hands the exact same way and said "daddy!"
  • He is now running all the time and is getting hard to catch!
  • Mimics everything we say (including Bibbidee Bobbidee Boo from Cinderella)
  • Says thank you when he hands you something because when he would grab something like the remote we would take it and say thank you and he has learned now that when he gives us something we say thank you
  • Says "Hi Daddy!" when I walk into the room
  • Has started to say "MWAH" when he kisses
  • He loves to dance and he has started walking backwards all over the room. It's like one day he just realized, hey, I can take steps the other way and go backwards.
  • He has been pointing at things that he wants or to get our attention for a while now as well

Those are just some of the things that have happened in the past couple weeks. He has also started to get seperation anxiety when either me or Candace leave the room. He'll start bawling and run over to the other parent that is still in the room and hug us. The poor guy also has that molar coming in up top. We know it is bugging him cause he is a little more drooly than normal. But it'll be breaking through any day now. sigh.... he's getting so big so fast. He is just an adorable little angel. It's hard to believe he is already more than a year old...
