Today it was 80 degrees and it felt awesome! 
Sometimes I wish we experienced the seasons a little more but then I watch the weather reports for other parts of the country right now with their freezing temps and ongoing snow all the while my kids are playing outside with shorts on and no shoes and I think....I'm happy where I am.
Blue skies...sunshine...light breeze...in February....loving Southern California.
Chase's first time on Dumbo.
Meeting Rapunzel and Flynn (he was creepy).
And the biggest FIRST of all: 
Taylor going on an upside down ride!
Interestingly enough, she was only tall enough because of the shoes she wore. On our most recent trip she wore tennis shoes and they would not let her on. Oh...the...tears! I bet she won't forget to wear her boots the next time. And I will try not to be so freaked out thinking she was going to fall out of her seat. In my defense, she technically was not tall enough and on the first hill, she lifted out of her seat!!! She had a blast though and I love that she is daring and adventurous unlike her mother who did not go on her 1st upside down ride until she was 19.... 
He has become quite the silly little character. He makes funny faces, growls, and will have full jibber jabber conversations with you and then throw his head back and laugh. I wish I knew what he says that is so funny.
He is quick on his crawling legs. He loves to climb the stairs and finds any little thing to put in his mouth. Luckily he is like a little chipmunk and just stores the foreign object in his cheeks until I pry his mouth open to get it out. AGH!
Between 7 and 8 months, he started waving and clapping. He is super smart, he can put round or square toys into the right holes. He can start his ball machine and hit the ball as it comes out. He opens and closes the window on his toy door and will point to your nose when you say nose. You only have to show him something once or twice and he will copy you. He blows me away!
He plays peek a boo with anything that will cover his face and he says "Dah" when he brings the object down. He can stand and loves to use whatever he can as a "walker." He gets really upset when he gets stuck against the wall.
He is still not the best sleeper and will not just "cry it out"...I have tried. Tyler thinks he has figured out how to get cuddles from Mom at night. He is definitely a Momma's boy (even though when he sees Daddy he says Dada) and I have no complaint about that.
He sure loves his older siblings especially Ashlyn even though that girl is crazy with him. He loves to be outside, playing with them.
He sings, dances, and leads the music in church.
He is our precious sweet boy that brings smiles and laughter into our home and even though I am already planning his 1st birthday and have the perfect theme for it, I am NOT ready nor do I WANT him to grow up.
