Sorry this is pretty late, Tyrel turned one on August 23rd, we were both sick; so I didn't post anything. He was even supposed to have his birthday party last Saturday, and I had to cancel it because he was still sick. It is rescheduled for this Saturday now. He has been walking now for a month and is trying to get running down. He has learned how to wave goodbye and point at things he wants. He also has started to color WITHOUT eating the crayons. Also, because of the surgery on his fingers, he has been behind on learning how to pick up food, but he is doing pretty good at it now. He loves playing outside, being around the other kids, and going up and down the little slide in the kid's bedroom all by himself. He loves swimming and bath time also. I am pretty proud of myself because I have also got him totally on cow's milk now and ONLY in sippy cups. No more bottles, he was definitely the fastest and easiest kid to do that with. I haven't heard any words (besides the occasional "ma", which I assume he is really saying my name), but Matt swears he said "bye" one time. Tyrel loves to do things that he knows he is not supposed to do; like open the fireplace glass. He will open it, then look at me, and if I'm not looking he will just sit there and say "ma, ma," to get my attention. He thinks it is real funny when I say "No No Tyrel." Then he runs away to get into the next thing.

ONE YEAR OLD PICTURES

At the end of the photo shoot, you can tell he has had it, and after only 4-5 minutes.
