"Don't even think about it."

Tyler 's favorite toy






This round block is one of Tyler's favorite toys. It's just a circular long block. If this toy is on the other sideo fo the room and all his other toys are layed out, he's crawl past his other toys and get this toy. It's pretty cute. He just loves his round block.

Here's Tyler trying to grab the camera.



He loves to eat everything, even his changing table.


"What's that on floor?"


What a cutie pie!


I jsut wanted to update everyone on how Tyler is doing and growing. He's a whopping 27 pounds and 32 inches long. What a big boy!! He's an official crawler now. He's been slowly trying to figure it out and just a few days ago he crawled all the way across the room. I can also happily say that Tyler can finally sit up on his own. I know, it took him awhile. I think it's just because he was big. Tyler loves to play. He's also very good at exploring and loves to tip over the garbage cans. He also loves getting into cords. We always have to keep an eye on him.

A Popsicle at Bathtime!

The Damage:
The Solution:
It's been another hot day in Pocatello, so we decided to let Ty try a popsicle. He enjoyed it, especially when it fell off the stick - he was able to play with and eat the little pieces. Of course, we didn't want to have to wash down our whole kitchen (or worse, our living room), so we just stripped him down and set him in the bathtub. Afterwards, we stripped off his diaper, filled the tub, and washed him off. We took video of him eating the popsicle, but I'm too lazy to transfer it to the computer, which is why there are no pictures of that.

Cory's Spot: Website: Pandora: www.pandora.com

Like many of my posts in the software and website categories, this one comes only after Pandora has already gotten a fair bit of media attention. Nonetheless, I suspect it's a site many people still haven't heard about, but would enjoy.

Pandora is a web-radio site, but what makes it unique is that you can create a large number of personalized "radio stations," starting with just one song or artist you already know you like. From there, it's possible to suggest other songs to clarify the musical direction you want your station to go, or you can simply rate the songs Pandora suggests with a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

For example, I started my first station out by suggesting Dave Matthews Band's The Stone and, after a bit of fine-tuning, I've come up with this station. I'm also experimenting with a couple of other stations to try to establish different stations for different moods, but all with music I like.

I haven't really done it justice with my description here - just give Pandora a try here and see how you like it - it's a good way to get a radio station you like, and a good way to discover new music.

Tyler




These are pictures that Amy took of Tyler. He wore the top outfit on Easter Sunday. The bottom picture is just one I really liked. Tyler is such a sweet baby!

Tyler likes to play pool!!


Here is Ty playing pool...okay, he mostly liked sitting on top of the pool table and rolling the balls around and banging the balls together.

McCall, Idaho


This is the cabin we stayed at a few weeks ago in McCall. It was really big. It can house 17 people...IN BEDS. It was awesome. Our room had a huge window overlooking the lake. It was gorgeous. The weather was still a bit cold, but it was still fun.






Here is Scot with our little cutie pie!! I thought they looked cute together in this over sized chair.




Cory and Ty enjoying a break together.



Tyler loves his excer saucer. It is one of his favorite toys. Plus, he'll stay in it four a few hours at a time.


Me, posing for the picture!


There was a swing over the lake so Amy and I swung on it. The water was frerzing cold because there was still ice on top of it and also the snow was still melting.


Our cute rosy cheeked boy.


Here we are ice skating in McCall. There was a big ice skating/hockey rink. Cory and I both haven't been ice skating forever. It was difficult at first until we figured out our balance. I only fell once and Cory didn' t fall at all. Cory skated so good. I think he should be in the next Olympics.



Me and Amy smiling at everyone through the glass window!!


Big smiles!

Naptime!

Naptime!
Ty was being something of a butt today, but he finally crashed when I went to get him a bottle. Not to sound like a soft-hearted daddy or anything, but he looked so cute asleep in his high chair that I had to get a picture.

p.s. He woke up fussing 5 minutes after I posted this picture. Oh well! It was nice while it lasted!
