The Ducks & 18 Months

Kaycie and I and all of the kids went over to the LQ Civic Center on Saturday with lots of bread ends (I've been saving up in the freezer for a few months) to feed the ducks. It was a gorgeous day outside and the girls loved giving the ducks their lunch. Tyler on the other hand just wanted to run around and check out the park and all of the surroundings! Yeah... not so much for standing still (especially near water) and tossing little pieces of bread into the pond just yet... Maybe someday, right?! I'm hoping so! My new collection of bread ends in the freezer has started so I'm sure we'll be making another trip back in a couple of months... Hopefully before it gets too hot...

Tyler also turned 18 months on Saturday. I can't believe it! My baby boy is getting so grown up and I don't know where the time has gone! I know I've said it a million times on here before but yeah... He has changed SOOOO much just in the last 6 months! Here are a few things Tyler's doing or is into right now:

• He now finally, again, says Mama!! It was his first word way back when but as soon as he started saying "dada", "mama" went out the window...
  
• He also says Dada and doggie and randomly said Bobby while he was with me at work last week and we went to pick up Bobby from school...
• He jibber jabbers all day in his own little baby language - it's soooo darn cute! I know he's trying to tell me something!
  
• He points to his hair, ears, tounge and belly if you ask where they are.
• He's begun to understand sooooo much more in just the last few weeks. Anything I ask him to do or go and get he totally does. He may not talk too much yet but he definitely understands a ton!
• He's obsessed with balls! Footballs, soccerballs, baseballs, any balls!
• The second you get him out of his crib in the morning or after nap, he instantly wants out of your arms so he can run to the kitchen, knowing that the doggy door is open (pretty much only when he's sleeping) and jets out to play in the backyard.
  
• He's climbing and getting onto everything! He gets so excited and thinks he's so cool when he makes it up onto the big patio chairs and sits down all by himself.
  
• He LOVES fruit, especially blueberries, and shovels them into his mouth, double fisting the berries sometimes to keep them going in fast!

As much of an animal as he can be sometimes I love my little boy more than I ever could have imagined! He really is like 150% boy and I wouldn't change it for anything!
