Almost walking!

Tyler had a great first birthday party. He now has lots of toys to stay busy with and a whole new summer wardrobe! It wasn't surprising that he really didn't want any birthday cake or cookie cake. When we gave him his own birthday cake on his actual birthday, he grabbed it in his hands and threw it on the floor. We made the decision to get a cookie cake from Mrs. Field's Cookies for his birthday party because we already know he loves cookies, but he must not have been hungry when it was cake time because he only had a couple bites of that. Oh well!
We've tried lots of new foods with Tyler to get him to gain weight. Although most are spit out, we have found that Tyler likes cinnamon raison toast, american cheese, and ice cream. He also has his 8th tooth coming in on the bottom, so we're hoping that his lack of eating lately is due to teething. Tyler is on his way to walking! He's taking about 5 steps at a time now and becoming more daring and confident. He let's go of furniture and walks, or darts, towards us. He thinks it's really funny. I can't wait until school is over for the summer so I'll get to spend lots of time with Tyler!
