One Year Old

We had our 1 year check up on Monday. Tyler's 19 lbs and 28 1/4 inches long. We're fully recovered from our pneumonia and had a great birthday party last Saturday. After an initial bout of stranger anxiety and a few tears.....Tyler perked up and showed off a few of his new tricks....walking and clapping, ate some yummy cake and played. Thanks to all of our friends for coming and for the thoughtful gifts. We're really looking forward to spring, hopefully no more illnesses, our first plane trip and a week long beach vacation with the entire Jubang family!

Tyler's 1st Birthday - Party at School

Today was Tyler's 1st birthday and he had a wonderful day. He got to have special snacks at school with all of his friends, received lots of love and attention from his teachers, spend the afternoon with Grandma Stephanie and open some presents. Here are a few pics from today and we'll post more after Tyler's birthday party on Saturday. Happy Birthday Tyler James!

Grandma & Grandpa Jubang Come Visit

Mom and dad came to visit and help me with Tyler while Capp went to Vegas for a work conference. Tyler had fun staying home from school for a few days to spend time with grandma and grandpa. While mom and dad were in town, Tyler started holding his own bottle and learned how to put the wooden pieces of his train on its pegs.

Eleven Months Old

Tyler turned 11 months old on the 5th. Unfortunately, this month hasn't been too much fun. We got our 2nd ear infection and then a horrible stomach virus. Tyler is still not walking but is standing on his own for longer periods of time. He's also really into sharing his toys and food, pointing, saying a few words that only mommy and daddy can really understand, adding his arms into his dancing moves and really starting to mimic our actions. Oh...and Tyler LOVES Daphne. He's learned how to throw the ball for doggie and loves to pet her and give her hugs. Daph is great with Tyler and Tyler rewards doggie by throwing food from his high chair for her and gives her treats with daddy's assistance. We're looking forward to spring and our birthdays!

Christmas 2008 & Ten Months Old

Tyler is 10 months old today! I can't believe it. We had a wonderful Christmas. My whole family was able to come and spend the holidays with us. Tyler, of course, got tons of toys and lots of of love and attention. He's doing lots of cruising, getting two new teeth...Capp and I call him our little vampire...and loves his finger foods and feeding himself. Every once in awhile we'll see him standing on his own and are thinking he'll be taking his first step soon. Tyler loves crawling after Daphne and pulling on her ears. Poor Daph has no idea what's in store for her.

CCOA Christmas Party 2008

Yesterday afternoon was Tyler's Christmas Party at school. Tyler got to meet Santa, we attempted to build a gingerbread house, opened presents and ate lots of yummy treats! Capp and I had a great time and enjoyed watching Tyler play with his friends. We got to witness first hand that Tyler and Jack are in deed the bullies of the Ducks Class. We can't wait for Christmas and are excited for everyone to come in town to spend it with us.
