Some Pictures to Quiet Anna

I know these pictures are in reverse order but I cannot stand blogspot's format so I am throwing up some pictures to keep Anna from complaining again :)

She Claps!

This is Kody:
Although she is on the verge of walking/standing, here's a little step along the way. Tiego taught Tylin how to clap. Little things that I am glad I didn't miss.


We are watching "Modern Family" on Hulu in the background. Funny stuff. You should watch it.

The circle of life part is awesome!

Oh, and make sure you are watching my favorite show on TV

Tylin is Growing Up Daily...Literally.

This is Kody:
It happened overnight. Tylin has always been a good sleeper. We could give her a bottle and lie her in her playpen and she would go to sleep. She's been doing that for a several months now. But the last week she has been finishing her bottle before she goes to sleep and she talks a bit. She will crawl around in her playpen, not really crying but letting us know she is there, and then she lays down and goes to sleep. Cool points: 10.

She has been sitting up by herself for awhile now, standing up to the couch for about 2 weeks, army crawling (scooting) for I don't know how long, but yesterday morning she actually started to crawl on all fours. I almost missed it because I was working on the computer, but she crawled across the room to stand up next to me on the couch! She would do it a few more times, but if it was a long distance, she would resort back to the army crawl. Cool points: 20.

This morning I was doing the rounds on the computer again and I hear Tylin talking. I look over at our stairs and she's up 2 stairs! That's not really that big of deal but our stairs are the steepest stairs I have ever seen! Cool points: 100! Father points: -50 :)

I never really realized what I was missing out on when I was gone but since I falsely graduated in May, I really feel like I am huge part of my kids lives and have really enjoyed experiencing them. I feel envious of mothers that get to experience their kids every moments (even though they will never admit they like it...). I'm going to miss these days.

Bryan and I are taking Tiego and Brazen golfing today (9 holes) so be prepared for a blog about that tomorrow. Being a father really does pay off...all the time!

Tylin's Got it Going On

This is Kody:

Apparently I am not interesting enough for people who read my blog because I have heard complaints about me putting too much snowboarding stuff on here and requests for more pictures of Tylin. Well, I give up for this round. Here are some pictures:

Tylin's Blessing

This is Kody:
I had the great opportunity to bless Tylin today and it was a very special day! I'll have to write more on this later but enjoy the pictures:
