Bopple... Apple... Apple... Apple...

Tyler has suddenly hit that age of todderdom where they apparently start learning things really quickly...

Here's a few of some of his latest surprises:
  • When he has his nightly container of applesauce, deciding that "applesauce" was probably too complicated, I had been saying "apple" constantly as I feed it to him. Two nights ago, he finally started to say "apple" himself when pointing to it! Of course, we didn't have the heart to tell him the first night that it was really mixed fruit that time, and not apple... but nevertheless, this is HUGE for Tyler... :)
  • Replacing the trash bag liner in the kitchen trash can... Well, he doesn't actually change out the trash bag himself (although THAT would be pretty sweet!!) - but he is now more than eager to hand you a new white kitchen trash bag to replace the one that was in there previously when he sees you taking out the full one from the can. So cute!
  • "Woof!" Yes - now instead of just pointing to Max and Loki and saying "Dog!" every time he sees them, he actually barks at them. This would be cuter, though, if it happened any time other than when Austin is napping in the same room, because once the dogs start barking back, it's just pure pandemonium.
  • Getting undressed. We're not all that thrilled with this new fascination of his. In case you haven't picked up on it from the pictures, we all spend a lot of time in our jammies at home. It's easy, it's comfortable, and hey - why get a kid dressed just to stay home all day! But, toddler sleepers are always constructed with a big zipper down the middle. And Tyler has decided that it's now cool to walk around the house looking like Elvis with his zipper opened down to his belly button.

Anyway, that's just today's quick update as I procrastinate just a tad longer on that growing number of articles I must now get back to writing for work...

And don't forget to check out the video bar to the right of this blog page! I listed the top video of Austin babbling in my last post, but if you check out the video below it, you can see Tyler and his brother playing with the recliner. We sure are lucky when it comes to those two. They really do love each other a lot, and it shows more and more each day!
