Well Tyler had his first Christmas. Things are kind of strange around here because Grandpa is missing from his usual spot at the head of the table. He is back in the ICU (has been for a week or two) and we've been visiting him twice a day. We got spoiled by all three grandmas (that includes one great-grandma), and we've had a great time playing with our cousins Neal and Jeffrey. Grandpa has been improving but so far is still in the ICU. It's been a little over a month now.
He did get a Priesthood blessing telling him he would rise up and walk out of the hospital. So we certainly have faith in that.
Here are some cute pictures from our Christmas:
This one is for you, Jaime: Tyler is not afraid of white cats. Here he is sitting on Grandma Miles' lap with Kitty Boy in Idaho.
Here is Tyler still in Idaho eating his first bite of chocolate. Chocolate flavoring anyway. I don't think they put real chocolate in boxed pudding.
Here we are opening presents at Aunt Denise's house in Boise, Idaho. Tyler was more interested in eating the presents than in opening them.
Here we are in Utah at Grandma/Great-Grandma's house. Grandma makes turkey for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Here is turkey number two.
Rather than spend a bunch of money on new stuff, I wrapped up a few of Tyler's existing toys and gave them to him again for Christmas. He seems happy to have his toy piano back.
My mom went literally NUTS and spent a ton of money on designer apparel for Tyler. Here is pair one of three pairs of Kenneth Cole dress shoes in size 3.5 for babies.
Erik and I got a Wii for Grandma for Christmas. She was pretty excited.
Here is the destruction after we opened our presents. What you see here is JUST gifts for Tyler.
Tyler loves his gifts and loves playing with his cousins Neal and Jeffrey. Here are Tyler and Neal playing with Tyler's new blocks.
Tyler, Neal and Jeffrey watching Ice Age. I should note here that Tyler has advanced ten fold since we've been in Utah. Since spending time with all his cousins he has learned how to crawl lightening fast, he's gotten two new teeth bringing his total to 6, he's starting talking in baby sentences which is way cute, he has been starting to walk, he learned to wave bye-bye and has been trying to climb the furniture. He is 100% off his pacifier now and sleeps with a comforter blanket over him in his crib. All of this is new as of this week.

Tyler still loves to eat of course. Here is a cute picture of him feeding himself. We miss you all! We'll be home on the second or third of January!
