Tyler Laughing
Tyler has just started to laugh out loud a little. I was just smiling at him while changing his diaper and he started this cute little giggle. By the time I got the camera, he had stopped. But I was able to get him to giggle a little on camera.

Our Summer
We've all had a fun summer so far! Last month Cousin Gina and Aunt Terry visited for a few days. We went to the Zoo and Coco Key Water Resort. We also had fun just playing outside together. Aunt Terry led the marching band around the house (several times) with Gina playing the bells and Alex on the drums.
Over the 4th of July we watched fireworks out at Grandpa Byers' house. Alex ran around playing with all his cousins and chasing toads. He really enjoyed watching the fireworks this year.
Most recently Alex attended Vacation Bible School at our church. I was a little tentative on signing him up this year because he still has a little separation anxiety. But after the first night, he was so excited to go back the next day. He didn't cry when I dropped him off and the teachers said that he was their favorite of the group. Okay, they probably say that about all the children, but it made me feel good anyway. At the end of the week he was sad that he couldn't go back. I explained that he would see the same kids and teachers each Sunday, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
Some of his favorite things to do this summer include watering (and smelling) the flowers outside, playing in the water hose, going to the library and playing at McDonald's (on hot days). He has also started "helping" Mommy in the kitchen as well as cleaning the house. Give him a dry Swifter duster and he will get everything at his level to the floor!
Tyler spends time in his swing and on his activity mat. He is growing like a weed. He is sleeping better each and every night. We are blessed to have good sleeping kids!
John got a new mower and spends much of his free time finding reasons to get it out and race around the yard. He takes pride in being able to mow the entire yard in under 15-minutes.
I have been making an effort to read a few books that I've been sitting on for several months. I also am trying to cook more meals at home and introduce Alex to a more variety of foods. You know how toddlers are when it comes to eating. I also enjoy researching possible travel itineraries. I'm currently working on a Mexican Riviera vacation for sometime next year.
Well, that is our summer recap so far. We hope that you are enjoying your time as well!

The Car Wash
This morning Alex and Daddy went out to wash the cars. After a bit, Alex decided he needed to wash his tricycle. It was so cute!
