Many more birthdays to you!

Tyler turned ONE on October 17th! Yay! We took Tyler to the doctor today for his one-year checkup and was amazed to find out he is such a big boy!! He now weighs 24 pounds, placing him in the 70th percentile and is 31 1/2 inches long for the 90th percentile. Quite the change from the 10th percentile where he was on the day of his birth. The doctor said he is looking healthy and developmentally right on track. Updates for this month: Tyler took his first steps and is starting to walk around a little. He has taken about 10 steps at a time at the most. He has 3 (almost 4) teeth now, his two bottom middle teeth and almost both canines on top. Makes for kind of goofy pictures! He is now saying "mo mo" for more and "uu" for up. However John and Sue insist that he said "banana" while he stayed with them! He's pretty much been completely done with puree foods this whole month and now is starting to drink whole milk in place of formula. No more bottles and no more formula! There really isn't much that makes him feel like a baby anymore....he's a big boy now!

Our good friends Jason and Shannon got married on Tyler's birthday (those pictures to follow) so we celebrated on October 18th. John and Sue were nice enough to host his party since he was staying with him for the weekend. Tyler has a bit of a cold right now so he wasn't all smiles all day but he was pretty happy overall. Here is a plethora of pictures from the day.......
