Here is a synopsis on Tyson. First, he is amazing! He learns so quickly and loves other kids. He is always trying to share his toys and snacks with his friends when they come over.
Example: A few weeks ago, my old roommate, Julie, came over and brought her little girl who is Tyson's age. As soon as she came in the door, Tyson ran to the piano and kept looking over his shoulder at her. Then, he ran over (well...walked as unsteadily as he could) to get his airplane toy, drove it up 6 inches from Alessa's face and pressed the button to turn it on. Then he just stared at her to see if there was any way she could even imagine a cooler toy! Alessa was groggy from her nap and was not impressed, so Tyson proceeded to get his shopping cart, truck, and another toy to show her. Later, he even tried to feed her his snacks (by hand). He just wanted to impress this little girl so much! It was so cute to watch but heart-wrenching at the same time to realize that for the first time in his life, what he wanted, I could not give him. I imagine I'll feel the same way when he turns 15 and wants to start impressing the ladies again! Here he is with another cute girl from our church!
We have a friend, whose daughter by this age knew all of the States and capitals and where they fit on a map of the United States! While Tyson isn't as interested in his geography yet, he is picking up a few terms! So far he can say fish, duck, milk, book, ball, sock, shoe, jacket, rock, tree, truck, car, bath, blanket, cheese, juice, cracker, cookie, pretzel (that one's new!), eye, no (he uses that one a ton!), mama (finally), daddy, green, purple, yellow, knock-knock, hello, bye-bye, please (prease), Jesus, bubble, hanger (strangely enough), whoa, uh-oh, bug, clap, lap, circle (although he doesn't know what it is) and snack.
He can also make the noises of a train (choo choo) car (beep beep), elephant, squirrel, owl, cow, sheep, pig, bird, dog, cat, horse, duck, snake, lion, bear, gorilla (more of an action), monkey, frog, and sometimes mouse.
He doesn't eat well (at all) but he has the sweetest temperament and is so patient with me. He has learned to leave his blanket in his crib (that one took a few tantrums) and loves to do things by himself. He also loves his shoes! Yesterday, in our rush to get to church on time, we forgot Tyson's shoes. When we were getting him ready for bed later that night, he saw them and wanted to wear them to sleep! We let him wear them for a little while but took them off before putting him in his crib. He wouldn't stop crying, so after a while I picked him back up and asked him what was wrong...apparently he was missing his shoes! At any rate, I'm glad I'm a mom! I love this little guy so much and feel lucky to be with him every single day!
Here is a video of him just the other day. I may be biased, but I think he's the cutest kid in the world!

Tyson sounds like he's so much fun to be around! And he's pretty adorable, too.
Wow, he's getting so big! Not a little baby anymore. And, he'll be able to go to nursery- yea!
He's pretty dang cute all right!
You are not biased at all, because Tyson truly is a cutie and smart too! Sure wish we lived closer to you, but we thoroughly enjoy your blog, especially the videos of Tyson. Thanks for sharing.

Oh Shannon, she didn't even get the puzzle till her 2nd birthday:) I do love Tyson's wobbly walk but my favorite was a few weeks ago at church when he began crawling so fast you would have thought the building was on fire.
Shannon, you are such a good mom! He is certainly growing up fast. It's such a fun age when they are picking up on so many things!
they grow up so fast :(
