I was just looking back at all the professional pics we have taken of Tyler during the first year of his life...it is so amazing to see the changes and his transformation into a little toddler boy: Here are a few favorites:

Garden Hose!

Tyler discovered the garden hose the other day! He loved playing with the fountain of water. I even taught him how to drink from it! He made giant puddles and stomped his feet in them, he watered the weeds that are growing in my flower beds, he filled up his water table but the best of all was swinging the hose around until he got himself wet...when the water would hit him he would drop the hose in shock (probably from the cold) but then laugh and pick it right back up and do it again!

Go Cubs Go!

Grammie bought Tyler a cubs hat and at the very perfect time...because the very next day they played a home game for the first time and they even WON! Tyler loves wearing his hat...he looks like such a big boy in it!

Ahoy Mate!

Tyler plays in his pirate ship water table for the first time...but it is more fun to play with friends so Abby and Brianna joined in on the fun too!

Second 1/2 of Easter

Happy Easter Grandma and Grandpa...I posed for this picture now take me to see the lights again! (Tyler is obsessed with the security sensor lights at his Grandparents house)

First time playing pool!

After eating close to two adult sized portions of lasagna and meatballs Tyler is full of smiles!

For the rest of day we spent Easter with the Giacomino's at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was such a beautiful day that we were able to spend some time outside. Tyler's favorite part was eating Grandma's lasagna, meatballs and Italian gravy!

First 1/2 of Easter

The first part of Easter Sunday Tyler woke up and found what the Easter Bunny brought him! He loved his instrument set the very best! We then headed out to Chicago to celebrate with the Jaroscak's at Katie and B.R.'s new home! There we had a wonderful brunch! Tyler loved hanging out on the balcony watching all the cars drive by below. We then headed to the park for an Easter Egg hunt and for some play time! The four boys had a blast looking for eggs and playing on the playground! It was all so much fun! Too many adorable pictures so I am putting up a whole bunch! There is one shot of Owen that is basically the same picture but each one he has a different expression and I couldn't pick which one I liked best!
