Jeff taught Tyler how to whistle! Seriously. It's so cute because he will crawl up the stairs or chase a toy excitedly and we will hear this little high pitch noise, and sure enough, it is Tyler with his lips puckered- we tried all day to get a picture of it and here it is!! Our talented little guy :)
Tyler has always been pretty good at climbing up the stairs. But until recently, we've had to carry him down. I don't know why babies think they can just sit up, lean forward and gently roll down the stairs, but its been frightening me since the day he started crawling. I told Jeff we had to teach him how to go down correctly, or I might have a heart attack daily. He picked it up pretty quickly and its fun to watch. He turns around, sticks a leg out and points his toe as hard as he can until he feels the stair below him. Then he wiggles the other leg from under his bum and gets it on the bottom step. He repeats this process all the while thinking very hard and moving very slowly. What a good little boy!
Tyler's biggest trick lately is his desire to walk! He hasn't quite got it down yet, but he can take 2 or 3 steps and then land on his cushy bum. This is so exciting for us to watch. And he knows he is doing something special because he smiles and sometimes claps his hands together- I think accidentally because he's waving his hands so excitedly, but that's close enough! (picture to come!)

That boy is growing up way too fast. Sarah just barely learned to go down stairs like a month ago. Way to go Tyler!
Wow, what a big boy! Already taking a couple steps too. I love the whistle picture, so cute. Remind him to do it every couple days or he will forget how! :D
