The Terrible Ones.

Tyler has been on a rampage lately, starting not the Terrible Two's or Three's, but the Terrible Ones. He has been taking everything off the shelves, getting toys out everywhere, making every attempt possible to get into the dogs water bowl and splash around, rolling around and screaming when you are trying to change his diaper, especially the poopy ones, throwing tantrums when he does not get his way, randomly screaming at the top of his lungs and sometimes for no apparent reason other than to hear himself, throwing food off his high chair to let you know he is done, and other things that I did not know a one year old would do. At times I feel like I want to pull my hair out and hire a house cleaner, but most of the time, it is pretty funny to see how much destruction a little guy can do to your house in a short period of time. This is probably a phase and for you experienced parents out there, you are probably laughing at me and saying, " Just wait. This is nothing compared to what is to come."Other than that, he is a really happy boy who will turn on a smile for anyone who looks at him. His happy times are spent cuddling with mom and dad, reading a book, trying to snuggle with Daisy and roll around on her, playing tug-a-war with Daisy, walking around outside, or getting a bath, which is the highlight of his day.

There are so many emotions to being a parent and it is amazing to see the thought process that a little child has and how they try to explore and figure out the world. I still cannot believe how fast the time flies and I want so badly to freeze it so that I can really enjoy Tyler and just give him so much love at this stage.
Here are some pictures and videos that grandparents have been begging for. Today was the first time that I cut Tyler's hair with scissors. It took a good hour to accomplish and I still did not totally finish. Eric held Tyler on his lap while Tyler intently watched Sesame Street. He did really great for his age at sitting still and we stopped when he had to get the wiggles out. I had to admit that I did a great job for my first time and did even better than those who had cut Ty's hair in the past. Now we can save $15 on his hair cuts.

Ty loves wearing his sunglasses. He wore them around the house for entire hour until it was getting too dark and I had to take them away.

Here is a video of Ty and Daisy playing Tug-a-War. Ty take a little bit of a beating from it, but he actually loves to be pulled by Daisy and sometimes dragged across the ground.
