There's nothing like REALLY getting into your gifts, huh?! Happy Birthday, Tyler!

Tyler was looking hard to see if anything had been put in his chest. What he didn't see was the inscription of Jeremiah 29:11 on the top part of lid (inside)... It might be awhile!

My manager from my old job made this beautiful toy chest for Tyler for us! Thanks SO much, Bob!

Oh, boy! This phone sure got a lot of attention!

I think Tyler enjoyed the wrapping as much (or more) than the presents!

Tyler did figure out how to rip the paper off packages, which he enjoyed doing!

Tyler enjoyed getting into (sometimes literally) all his gifts!

This was Tyler's very own cake!

The theme of Tyler's party was "Itsy Bitsy Spider" as that's his favorite book and song!

Mommy and Daddy!

Here's some more party goers - the wild bunch! Ha!

Great Grandma Ginny and her caregiver Lacrecia.

Grandpa Bubba with his mom and sister!

More family and friends joining in the festivities!

Uncle J, AuntE, and 2nd Cuz Elene... And, of course, Itsy Bitsy Spider!

Here's the birthday boy waiting for dinner: lasagna!

What a cutie!

Fun, fun! Those hands and fingers just start wiggling with excitement!

Tyler lying in the sun on Nana and Bubba's front yard!

Daddy and son - both cute!

Now, there's a happy Bubba: two grandsons in-arm!

Tyler got to experience snow for the first time ever on February 1st, the day before his 1-year birthday! I think he thought it was a little too cold for his warm hands!

I just LOVE this picture of Tyler! This boy LOVES the great outdoors, that's for sure!

Tyler and I went to the botanical gardens on the warmest January day that I can remember having! Tyler sure enjoyed playing on the grass, as you can see!
