Tyler (Left) and Hunter (Right)

13 months old

Well, I cannot believe how long it has been since I've even visited this site. Who knows if anyone even bothers to check it anymore. Oh well. I have a few minutes so I'm going to update it quickly.

It's been about a year since our last post. In fact, I think it is just over 1 year since we were in Ottawa. Tyler and Hunter are now 19 months old. They are running, talking, mischief machines! Not really - they are very good boys for the most part. Sometimes their curiosity gets the better of them which gets them into trouble, but usually they are very good boys.

Highlights of the past year:
- Crawling: Tyler started to crawl around 10 months. Hunter never really crawled at all.

- Cruising: Tyler started to cruise around 9 months. Hunter hardly cruised at all, mostly in his 11th month.

- Walking: Hunter walked 1 week before 1st birthday, Tyler walked 1 week after 1st birthday. Tyler was more mobile but he was afraid to let go. Hunter learned by watching Tyler and then basically just got up and went one day!

- Talking: This one is so hard to pinpoint because they have been babblers almost since the get-go. I'll have to refer to the baby books to see what the first words are and when. But it was around that 1 year mark. They are now big talkers. More so than your average 19 month olds. They have a large vocabulary, learn quickly and are constantly talking!

- Favorite Toys: They still love cars, trucks, strollers... anything with wheels. The bigger the better. A second choice toy would be weebles/little people, or tupperware shape sorter.

- Books: They love books. Hunter slightly more than Tyler, but they are both drawn into reading books. They know the words by heart of some of their favorite stories and will recite the correct word when you pause.

- Activities: Their favorite activities (besides playing with cars/trucks) is going outside for walks, playing in the playgrounds (slides are especially fun), watching Dora and Diego on TV, running up and down hills, jumping in puddles... that's all I can think of right now.

- Eating: They will eat almost anything. Of the two Hunter is pickier, but if he is in the right mood, he is usually game to try something new. They do love Mcdonald's I'm afraid to say, but we try to reserve it for special (or rushed) occasions!

Favorite foods: Apples, cheerios/cereal, pasta, peas, cooked veggies, potatoes, bread/toast, teddy grahams, crackers and cheese.

- most exciting thing: they were chosen for a recurring role on a locally filmed Canadian comedy called Robson Arms. They play Baby Robbie. It is only just now starting to air on tv and it is really cool to see your kids on the screen! And to see the finished product after the months of filming, and hours spent on sets!

So - there you go. I shall try to post some pictures now. Bear with me.





One of the many huge snowfalls this winter. They loved the snow!
