Tyler is 3!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY

TYLER!
Our sweet Tyler is 3 years old now! I can't believe how fast these kids are growing up. Tyler amazes us each and every day. He is constantly learning new things...I suppose that's a good thing! He NEVER lets us forget anything, which can be good and bad. He has quite the sense of humor, he has this little sneaky smurk when he knows he is being funny. He loves to play with his little brother so much, they like to wrestle each other already! He is so great at helping Jacob stop crying. He still loves to sing to Jacob "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". He has developed a wonderful imagination and loves to pretend to be "bad guy/good guys". He tells me to close my eyes when he wants to do something he knows he shouldn't, or hides things behind his back when it's something he's not supposed to have. He is our little backseat driver- he always says things like "Don't go too fast mommy/daddy" or "Careful! Don't fall off!" as we go over a bridge.
Tyler enjoys helping us around the house and in the kitchen (when he wants to). Just recently he is always singing something he learned in preschool or at church, like his ABC's, "Where is Thumbkin", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Jingle Bells", or "What's the Weather". He knows his ABC's and his colors really well, is still a little shakey on counting though...this is how it usually goes " Tyler, count to ten for us" "Okay daddy, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10!" But sometimes he will do it correctly too.
He's just so cute! Sometimes he can drive us absolutely crazy, but we still love him so much and love to watch him grow up and learn each and every day!
Here's a little "Tyler at 3 years stats" for family history purposes....
Tyler measured in at: 27 1/2 lbs and 37 1/2 inches at his dr's appt. (though I think it is more like 36in.)

Some of Tyler's Current Favorites:

Toys: Geo-Trax/Air set, Lightening McQueen and Mr.The King, his Shake N' Go race track, and his Hot Wheels oh, and anything Jacob is currently playing with

Movies/Shows: Disney movie Cars, his Geo-Trax movie, Go Diego Go, Dora the Explorer, Super Why, Imagination Movers, Sid the Science Kid, and Curious George

Foods: He is still an EXTREMLY picky eater, but is getting better- he loves peanut butter and sprinkle sandwiches, fruit snacks, yogurt, he loves McDonalds Chicken Nuggets (he calls them Chicken Donalds though), pizza, smoothies, and of course any kind of treat

His buddies: Evan M., Jackson F., Liam and Collin G., Kaden and Kayla C., and Elizabeth B.

Some of the funny and cute things he says lately: "What the Heck?!" or "What???"
"I'm gonna save it for my work" (Jack says this a lot when we are done with dinner, now Tyler uses it as an excuse when he doesn't want to finish his food) , "Mommy, you a princess",
"That's perkfek (perfect) mommy!", "You make me so happy!", "It's the 'naries! (aka. missionaries)"....he likes to yell down the hallway as they leave our apt. "Baptize!!!",

Wow, I didn't know he was 3 already! Was he born in 2006? My Jacob will be 3 this year...I can NOT believe it!
It's funny though, b/c Caleb tells me and Ronnie the same thing when we drive. "Don't go too fast!" Or "slow down" and my favorite, "GO!" :)

I also wanted to tell you that, I hope your Jacob is not like mine, too! I remember you had left me a comment about that when my Jakey hit his head. As far as I can tell, it's in his genes to act crazy and then get hurt. Maybe you guys will be more fortunate than we have been in that department! ;)

I hope Tyler had a Happy Birthday! What a cute little 3 year old he is! He says the funniest things! I like that he calls you a princess. Where did he learn that? What a funny little guy. We miss you here in AZ.

Happy Birthday Tyler! We will miss him in nursery. And you've trained him well . . . he's calling you princess?

I swear, I did not teach him to call me princess, he learned it all on his own, which makes it even sweeter!
