For Caroline...

My sister-in-law Sheree is really busy being a mom and a patent attorney in Washington, D.C.; so, she hasn't updated her blog since last October. My cousin Caroline gets to see my nephews Jack and Aiden more often than Tyler. Plus, my sisters-in-law Cindy and Melissa are stay-at-home moms and have more time for things like blogging. Caroline hasn't seen Tyler since Christmas and asked for some updated photos of him. Here you go Caroline...

Tyler is 8 months old in these photos (taken the beginning of March when everyone was home for Grandma Carpenter's funeral).

Tyler LOVES to be in the bouncer. It's absolutely one of his favorite things to do! (Right after playing with the phone.)

Tyler is working on crawling. He's got one arm and leg down pretty well. So, he would not be standing here if Aunt Melissa weren't behind him. He loved being outside with Aiden.


Tyler loves to hold his own spoon (even when it's not time for him to be eating). Here he is with Uncle Bryan, our cousin Denise, and his daddy Eric.

Grandma's funeral cut right into naptime. Here's Daddy putting him to sleep...as you can see from the next photo, it worked.

Here's Tyler with his Mommy, Sheree.

Tyler loves baseball hats. Here he is playing with our cousin Darin's hat. He managed to get the hat off of Darin's head before he was done playing.

Tyler doesn't get to watch TV. But, if it's on at home, he's usually drawn to sporting events thanks to the influence of his daddy. He wore his BYU shirt every Saturday that there was a football game this past Fall. Here he is joining in with the Thomas obsession with Aiden, Jack, Nana, and Aunt Jen.
