10 Months

Tyler is a mover and a shaker now. He loves to walk around the house while holding on to things. We have been moving things around and putting things away.
Daddy is more clean than ever. Tyler's new trick is to stand up in his crib. Last week, he kept mommy up four nights in a row trying to show her his new trick. Mommy was exhausted. Daddy ended up getting up with me a few nights to give mommy a break. I have been sleeping better since then. Mommy read that this is a developmental stage that I will cause me to be in a lighter sleep state throughout the night and wake more easily, because I am learning something new.

Here are my best friends...Ethan (7 months), Clay (6months), and me(10 months). This picture is deceiving. Clay is actually bigger than me:)

I love my truck.

This is me after bathtime. Mommy and Daddy have a hard time getting my diaper on now, because I am a wiggle worm.

Tyler 7-10 months

It's been a while since we posted a video, so here is a video of the last few months.

Like Father, Like Son

Tyler is almost 10 Months. He is so very active and fun to play with now. We are trying to get him to crawl before he walks. He loves to walk though. Yesterday he was pushing his dump truck across the floor by himself. He loves to imitate daddy, as you can see in the picture below. Like father like son:)

Below is a picture of Ty in a swing at the park. He loves to swing.

The other night we went to Venice beach. It was crazy...even more than usual for those of you that have been there. There were so many people. I think it was because it was Labor day weekend. The sky was clear and the sunset was beautiful. We enjoyed putting Tyler in the sand and in the ocean. He actually liked the sand this time and he loved the ocean. The pictures are not very good quality because they are taken with Dave's cell phone.

Dave's dad used to do this with him when he was little.

Ty on TV

Tyler and I will be on The Doctors TV show on September 15th @11am California time. Check out The Doctors website to find out when it will be on in your time zone.

Daddy is home:)

So much has happened in the last few days. Daddy flew in last night from South Korea, where he has been the last few days debriefing his missions trip to Kazakhstan with our church. The flight got in at 3:59pm which was morning in Korea. It took them about and hour and a half to get through customs. Needless to say, Dave looked wiped out. The team had a great trip and had a lot to report this morning in church.

Below is a picture that my friend Jamie Dulaney took of the fires in La Canada. They are about 5-10 miles from our house, but we are not in danger.

Below is a picture of 6/8 members of the team and others that picked them up at the airport.

Mommy is VERY happy to have daddy home:)

I am happy to have daddy home too. I couldn't keep my hands off of him. I wanted to snuggle with him at the airport.


Here is a pic of the team sharing at church on Sunday.

While Daddy was gone, mommy and I went to the TV set of "The Doctors". We had our own dressing room backstage to get ready. We were on the show to ask a question to the doctors. The show will be aired the week of Sept. 14th.

Paramount Studios lot where we picked up a golf cart that took us to Stage 30 for the taping.

Mommy got her hair and make up done by professionals. They picked out my outfit from a stack of cloths that mommy brought for me.

Grandma and Grandpa Olson got to go with us and be in the audience. They also helped with me back stage. Grandma was especially excited because we walked out with all the doctors and the producer after the show and she got to talk to them:)

I was so tuckered out yesterday after church that I feel asleep in the car and stayed asleep while daddy carried me in the house. I took a 2 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon. Daddy was tired too, since he woke up at 2:30am and went for a 2 hour walk. He is still adjusting to the 16 hour time difference. The next day, mommy helped him stay awake all day so he could sleep better last night and he did.

Visit from Uncle Tony and Aunt Christy

Uncle Tony helped mommy put together my new toy from Grandma and Grandpa Olson. It is a dump truck that I can ride on, push, pull and put toys in. It has buttons that sound like an engine.

Keepin Busy

We are trying to keep busy while dada is gone. Today I spent time with my friend Jace. We hung out at Lacy Park and did a little photo shoot for Jace. He turned 1 year old this week. I have been spending lots of time on my tummy, since my Godfather says I have to crawl before I can walk, so I will be a good reader:) I am working hard at it. Right now I can only go backwards. Grandma and Grandpa Olson bought me this new rug and the new toys that I am playing with in the pictures. We miss you dada!!
