Boys in the Tub

One evening we were having dinner with Matt, Kristy and Clay Orzewalla, as well as Chris, Elizabeth and Ethan Waters when we thought it would fun for the boys to take their baths together. It was about bedtime for them and rather then everyone go home and take a bath we decided to through them all in the tub together. Her is the result of three boys in the tub.

Wedding Ring Bearer

This was a big weekend in the Knight household. Tyler was in his first wedding as a ring bearer and mommy shot her second wedding as a photographer. It was crazy:)
We timed it perfectly so Tyler would take a nice long nap between 11am-1pm and Dave would put him right in the car and bring to him to the church. Then, he would dress him in his little Tuxedo. The funny thing about his Tux is that it was originally 5X too big. I took it to a friend of mine who knows a little about alterations and we took the whole thing apart, cut it down and re-sewed it back together. You would of never known. I think it turned out nicely. It would have been easier to make one from scratch we found out, but the bride and groom had picked this one out. Everyone doubted that Tyler could walk down the isle, but not only did he walk down...he ran down with a big smile on his face. Dave and I were both at the other end and he was happy to see us I guess. We were proud of him. He even lasted a couple hours at the reception. He stayed up past his bed time(7:00pm) two nights in a row, but did great. He ended up going to bed a t 9:00pm, which is late for him considering he usually sleeps from 7pm-7am now.
I worked a 12 hour day and had a few moments to enjoy the company of Adam, Becca and Sophia Carpenter. They were all in the wedding(groomsmen, bridesmaid, and flower girl). We got to meet their new addition, Elise Noel (6 weeks) also. It was so great to see them....we miss them all!! On Sunday we got to spend the evening with them, which was special. It was hard to say good bye again:(
Daddy did a great job making sure Tyler was taken care of and to each location on time the day of the wedding. He had some help at the reception by Bryan, Renee, Bill and Carol Childs who were in town visiting Bryan and Renee.
To top of the weekend Becca and I had Mochi and Pinkberry to celebrate Valentine's day and the guys went to bed early. It was a great weekend, now on to hours of editting, sorting and post production. Here are a few pictures from the wedding.

Afternoon at the park

Tyler went down the slide by himself yesterday. It was so cute. He wanted to push himself down without help, so I let him do it over and over again. As you can see here...he loved it! He also enjoyed playing in the sand and playing with a little girl he met at the park. She gave him his first kiss:) It was really sweet. He recognized that she was his age and he started to follow her around.

Ty loves his books. I find him in his room sometimes, just sitting on the floor reading his books.

We took a visit to El Porto Beach on Sunday. Our babysitter and friend, Brooks, went with us to have some fun.

Tyler was very cuddly at the beach.

Dave loved showing Tyler the waves and the surfers. It was beautiful. The waves were really big...probably triple overhead.

About a month ago Tyler met my cousins Melody's daughter.

Dave's cousin Brandon came to visit from Missouri and meet Tyler. We had a nice time with him.

Wrappping Up 2009

A lot has happened in a few weeks. Tyler has a new cousin named Carter Anthony Speck. He was born on Dec. 28th to Dave's sister Christy and her husband Tony in Minnesota. Grandma and Grandpa Olson came to visit over Christmas. We went to the Rose Parade and had front row seats.

Tyler has been testing our every nerve the last few weeks with his new gift of screaming. Hopefully the neighbors don't think we are beating him, because he screams really loud, even in the middle of the night sometimes. I have been reading and some sources say it is developmental. Either way, it drives me crazy that I can not control it. He is still a great boy though. He is just learning about his voice I guess.
He also learned how to stand on his rocking chair today. I guess he is going to be adventurous and daring like his mom and dad. This is a picture I took quickly of him before removing him and telling him not to do it again. He proceeded to try over and over again. I put the chair up for now. Tyler has also been learning to communicate through sign language. So far he knows the signs for : please, moon, all done, bath, and milk. We are working on some other ones. He picks up on some of them better than others. He really understand when to use "please". There are some other pictures here to enjoy...Dave jumping over Tyler, Tyler pointing, Tyler with his new giraffe friend, Tyler opening presents, Tyler with Grandma Olson.
