Tyler can hear, a mile away, when the baby gate goes down and he'll make a run for the stairs.
He's moving quick before he gets caught.
Dang, busted!
Tyler decided if he can't make a run for the stairs, he'll take off the baby lock on the cupboard door that his mother doesn't want him to get into. Notice the lock laying on the floor by his feet. (since we are renting, we saved the "snap & release" latch locks, that need to be installed, for the house we are buying. This one below doesn't always work the best. He'll pull on it until it eventually comes off.)
Oh snap! Tyler heard the baby gate go down again...
Look what Tyler's Auntie Jewel taught him. And I swear today I hear him say "ya right". Hmm I wonder who he picked that up from...
On August 6th, Tyler turned 1 year old!! While his parents were at work, his granny baked him a monkey cake & cupcakes and took these pictures below for his album.
By the expression on Tyler's face, I don't think he's digging this.
I think this cupcake is scaring him...
YEP!
Uncle Steve, Grandpa Kneeland, Dad & Tyler.
What a lady's man!

Hmm this cake isn't as scary as the monkey one!

This kid is spoiled with clothes. I'm even jealous of his wardrobe.

I wonder what Riley & Dawson are thinking as they stare up at Jim...?
As you can see, it isn't easy getting all 7 children to pose for a picture.
I want to be just like you dad. Got your hat.
Yummy!

Tyler & Brittney play peek-a-boo.
A favorite past time, boardgames.
Brittney learned that the quickest way to Tyler's heart is food. Now she's got a new best friend.
Some of the best things about summer are berry pies and ice cream. To bad someone forgot the root beer.
Dad says this is an action figure...not a doll.
Baby gone wild!

Wrong Dad! You're going down!
