It's go time!!
I am in full party planning mode this week!! It's a little harder trying to plan an event from afar but I'm always up for a good challenge! I have to pack up all my cake stuff along with the usual items for the boys and myself! Oh and did I mention I am flying with the boys by myself!! Yikes!! Say a little prayer for me!!

A year later...
WOW Tyler turned one on Friday. I still can't believe I have a toddler and a little boy! Not only has the past year gone by fast but so has the last 4 years! Becoming a mom has been amazing! There are many days when I want to pull out my hair because one or both of the boys have done something over the top or Jason has been out of town for the last three/four days BUT there are MANY MANY more days and moments when I am able to sit back and look at my children and smile! They are my (our) little miracles! I get such joy teaching them both and feel SO very blessed that I have been able to watch and enjoy everyday of their lives "at home" with them both.
Tyler is has been such a joy! He is walking up a storm now! He is very much a mama's boy. I hate to admit it, but I don't mind! ha!! Jason and I don't plan on having any more children, so I LOVE the fact that Tyler loves his mama and LOVES it when I want to hold him tight!!
The words he says: Mama, bye, hi, nana, and dada (although he has only said it a couple of times)
Foods: He eats mostly solids now. He does still eat applesauce and the squeeze pouches of veggie/fruit mixes (I LOVE those!!)
LOVEs: bananas, mum-mums, puffs, mini pancakes, risotto, cheese pizza, gnocchi
Doesn't like: most veggies (although he loved them when they were pureed), mommy's pancakes and waffles.
He is still nursing!! WOW!! I can't believe it!! I stopped nursing Carson FULL time around 6/7 months. He was complete done by 9 1/2 months but at that point he was nursing only once a day and getting formula the rest of the time. Right now Tyler gets a night bottle with a mix of formula and whole milk and then I nurse him three other times during the day. I am working on getting him to drink whole milk so I can start to ween him off the breast.
Tyler had his well visit appointment today and he looks perfect (of course, right!?)
He weighs 26.11 pounds and is 31 1/2 inches long. Both of those stats puts him in the 90 percentile. According to his growth chart, he is looking great. He continues to grow on the C curve!
Tyler was 21 inches long when he was born so he has grown just over 10 inches in the past year! He weighed 9.5 when he was born so he has gained just over 14 pounds over the past year! Good thing he is the only gaining!! ha!
On a side note I am very proud that am down 60 pounds since giving birth. It is something I am very excited about! I gained about 45 pounds with Tyler and 58 with Carson. I can't believe I am WRITING those numbers down! ha! Each pound was gained in the name of love, right?!
Here are some pictures we took on his birthday.

Someone is turning one!
So tomorrow Tyler turns 1! Of course his first birthday has to be Friday the 13th, that's lucky right? I cannot believe it has been one year since our beautiful-happy boy came into our lives. He was LATE and mommy was so UNCOMFORTABLE! I tried almost every old wives tale and nothing worked! So once again, I was induced.
Before Tyler was born I remember worrying that I could not love someone as much as I loved Carson. Jason reassured me that my heart would just grow bigger and that my love for Carson would not get any smaller. One year later I can say without a doubt, he was right! I love both of my boys so much, motherhood it is amazing!
Here are some month by month pictures of tyler...I don't feel like he has changed THAT much. The biggest change is his hair color. He was born with dark brown almost black hair, now it is VERY blonde!

Happy Easter
We had a wonderful Easter weekend as a family. Saturday morning we went to Sea World and then spent the rest of the day hanging out as a family. Sunday we spent the morning together, went to church and then had a backyard picnic. After naps we invited some neighbors over for an egg hunt and then we had a nice Easter dinner as a family.
I thought I would share some pictures of the last 4 Easter's with you. It's amazing how fast the time has gone by!!

Blast from the past.... one thing that is nice about having two boys... they can share clothes! I always get emotional when I see Tyler wearing an outfit Carson "just wore!" Here are a few pictures from Easter two different years but the same outfit!
