<p>Tyler's second birthday!  It's hard to believe another year has rolled around.  He's talking up a storm now.  He's had his first haircut (sniff, sniff -- I loved his shaggy locks and little curls!) and he's been cleared for dairy!  Barb and Dave came out to celebrate our little man's second birthday.</p>

<p>Kevin got Tyler a kid-sized wheelbarrow, shovel and rake.  I wrapped all the other presents and piled them in to the wheelbarrow and wheeled them out, along with the balloons I had bought.  One of the balloons was Curious George, and when Ty saw his his eyes went wide and said "look! George up there!!"</p>
