Doesn't this look like a sweet and innocent baby boy? Well, belive it or not, but this baby boy loves to bite, hit, scratch, and throw tantrums! I know for all of you that know and love Tyrus it doesn't seem possible, but trust me - it is! When he gets really excited he will try to bite you and a lot of times you are caught off guard because you think he is going to kiss you. Neil and I were very pleasantly surprised that no one was his victim over the holidays. When you put your face really close to his to either talk or to try to get a kiss he will hit and scratch your face at the same time about 80% of the time. Neil and I al are really REALLY trying to prohibit these habits and we definately scold him when he does them. Their have been fewer "incidents" in recent days so maybe it is working.

On the other hand this baby will also kiss people bye bye, will give Lu Lu hugs and kisses at any given time of the day (more than he gives Mama love), if he gets something out that he shouldn't have and we tell him to put it back - he does! This really shocked us the first time that it happened, but it turns out that it wasn't a fluke and he actually understands what "put it back" means. If he sees ANY form of paper lying on the floor he will assume he is meant to blow his nose on it. So, he picks it up, kinda blows his nose in it, then puts it in the trash can. He will gladly share a bite of anything that he is eating - even if it is his last cookie. AND THE MOST IMPORANT AND SWEETEST - he 99% of the time has the biggest smile on his face and you can't help but love him!
