9 Months!

Tyler is 9 months old today!  This is a first that I'm actually posting the day of, but Steve is travelling in Dubai and it's amazing what I can accomplish while he is away!  So I had to cheat to capture this picture, as you can see from exhibit B, Tyler would rather eat the sign than pose for me.

We took Tyler to his first amusement park last week, Ocean Park, located on the south side of the island.  The theme park is home to a variety of animals, there is a Giant Panda exhibit, dolphins, and this is going to sound really lame, but an amazing goldfish display.  These suckers were huge, it was an entire room dedicated to numerous funky breeds of goldfish.  Tyler was enthralled!

Phuket

Okay, so I'm a couple of weeks behind on this post (actually months, but who's really keeping track here!), so you'll have to read my previous post for my extremely valid excuse.  Honestly it has taken me several weeks of blood, sweat, and tears to recover all of our pictures after our computer crashed!  Long story short, I was able to hack in to our Apple Tv and get all the photos that had been synced prior to that ill-fated day.  Lesson learned, back up your hard drive.  

Anyhoo, by the time March rolled around, we started to get a little cabin fever and to borrow a phrase from our favorite tv series, it was time to get off the island!  We travelled to Phuket, Thailand, a short 3 hour journey from Hong Kong, for some much needed fun in the sun.  We stayed at the Sheraton Grande Laguna and had an absolutely amazing vacation!  The beach was lovely, and there were a dozen of fantastic Thai restaurants all along the stretch adjacent to our hotel.  The food was great, and unbelievably cheap, and the scenery was breathtaking.

8 months

So apparently this has become somewhat of a monthly blog!  Tyler is 8 months old, crawling like a madman, terrorizing Bailey on a daily basis, and typically getting into pretty much everything.  He has started to pull himself up, which makes getting him out of his crib much easier, but nonetheless scary at times since his balance is so poor!
