Monday Fun

So Family night was a little different this week mostly because David was horribly sick! He caught the the 24 yuck virus from somewhere and was totally out of commission for the whole day, he still had to go to work, so when he came home he totally crashed on the couch in the family room and if anybody knows how david sleeps, I really couldnt get him up to go to our room. I didnt want the kids to get too close to him so we headed outside! It has been really nice lately, around 55 degrees (I never thought that I would say that 55 degrees was nice, go figure) anyways, so we said bye to David and I took Tyler and Hailey outside. I grabbed his t-ball set and I thought I would try to teach him to run the bases. Luckily our driveway is really long, we have no grass so that is the only place to play.
Anyways, So it started like this

He is really good at hitting the ball, he only uses one hand most of the time, so I was trying to teach him to use both hands and maybe run the bases (it comes with cute little bases and everything) So i would show him and then have him do it. Meanwhile, Hailey was just having a good ol time in the stroller playing with her little rings that she can now tug on, Yay Hailey!

So like I said, its nice out so a lot of the kids are outside, well one of them was our neighbor Marlee. Shes 4 yrs old and she was on her little bike, well when she came up our driveway on it, Tyler looked at her like this

put his bat down

blew kisses at me, grabbed HIS "bike" and began to take a "ride" with her

(I was yelling at him to look at me and smile and this is what I got, I think he is at that point when I can tell him to smile and he will!)

Well like I said, Marlee is 4 and was riding a bike and not to mention she was showing her mom and I how fast she could go, she would race by him, he would stop and stare

so needless to say Tyler had a hard time keeping up :) But there were plenty of times that he would go as fast as his little feet would go to try and get her

We were out there for about an hour, Hailey was great, continuing to notice the potential of her new found hands, she even picked up her pacifier

It was getting kinda cold so we decided to head in and David was still looking like this

We still had a little bit of time til Tyler had to go to bed so since Hailey was doing so good with grabbing things I gave her Tylers little duck he had when he was around this age. She totally loved it! She immediately started sucking on the beak

While she was doing this, I of course, was taking pictures of her and trying to get her to smile and I usually make funny noises or roll my tongue, stuff like that to make her laugh, well as I was doing this Tyler totally was copying me. I would look at him and laugh and then I realized that he wanted some pictures too, so I started to take some of him and he totally was posing, looking right at me, laughing and lovin it!

Its so funny, he really understands everything, he knows what he wants and how to get it, he makes me laugh constantly. So after I took pictures of him, I told him to help me make Hailey laugh, he did, she smiles so much more when she sees him-its the cutest!

So we caught some more of her and then Tyler politely took the duckie and showed me how he can do it too :)

Anyways, it was a very fun night, sorry David had to miss it, but he always has this post to see (literally) step by step account of what took place! lol
