Tyler Turns Three

Although you will still find him in diapers (eek) and with the occasional binkie in his mouth, our baby is certainly not a baby anymore! Tyler turned three in March and is, as always, keeping us on our toes (and in our running shoes). He is our Teeny Little Super Guy.

For his birthday, we were lucky enough to have Grandma & Grandpa Brown come to celebrate with us. We had a train cake (that he helped me decorate) and lots of fun presents. We love our T-Bone!

Tyler's three-year-old self:

Height & Weight: 36 inches and 31 pounds

Obsessions: watching the bathtub drain, sneaking food, his bike, his scooter, CANDY, giving zerberts, and pulling on your earlobes when you snuggle him.

Must-haves: Don't look at him while he is sneaking into anything or going #2, his binkie during a "past-the-point-of-no-return" tantrum, water (NOT milk), buckling himself into his carseat, quick 5-second hugs every 30 minutes or so, and Little Einsteins.

Favorite Foods: Goldfish, popcorn, hot chocolate, CANDY, graham crackers, and cheese pizza.

Favorite Song: "Wheels on the Bus"

Nicknames: T-Bone, Teebs, T, Stinky Cheese

Hair Style: Getting more manageable - although still a fuzz-head.

Favorite toys: Cars, trains, Pat-pat rocket, balls, the swingset, his bike & scooter.

Favorite pasttimes: playing "good guy, bad guy," playing outside or in the garage, throwing things and overall mischief-making.

Smile: an infectious, mischievious, slightly bucky smile.

Favorite words/phrases: "You're a loud-mouthed shnook!"; thank you, mommy, for this....; DON'T DO IT!; i love you, mommy/daddy; Parker, look at....!; cool.

He amazes us with: His speed; his vocabulary; his hilarious giggle; his athletic ability; his love and admiration for Parker, his daddy and his grandparents; and his zest for life.
