My First Trip to Aquatica

We went to Aquatica, Orlando's newest water park. It is awesome! We had such a good time.


Here I am in Kata's Kookaburra Cove. It is a special place in the park just for kids my age.


My kayak had a blow hole that had water shooting out of the top. I couldn't take my eyes off of it!


Then I moved on to the blue kayak. It was just as entertaining as the red and yellow one!


Look at me being a big boy sitting all by myself.


The cove has tubes so you can float around and relax. I was striking a pose for Mommy.


This is the first time my teeth have made an appearance on my blog. The day after Easter, we were sitting in the airport waiting on the plane, and Mommy and Daddy noticed that two of my bottom teeth had poked through.


I am gonna be a ladies man.



A pic of the whole family.


Daddy made me this cool Aquatica hat.

Just Another Beautiful Day at the Beach

It was 85 degrees and beautiful today, so Mommy and Daddy took Tyler, Kaelly, and me to the beach today.


Daddy said I look like the guy on Weekend At Bernie's.


Chillin' out in front my shark while everyone else sets up camp.


I love the beach!!!


Here I am striking a pose for Mommy in the shark. She loves the way it brings out the blue in my eyes.


I loved my sand Bumbo. Daddy dug a hole in the sand and sat me in it. Then he filled in the sand around me so the waves wouldn't knock me over when the waves came.


Daddy gave me my first surfing lesson today. I thought the waves were really cool.


I have been able to sit up all by myself for a few weeks, but I thought a video of me sitting in the surf all by myself would be more interesting than sitting in the living room floor.


This next video requires an explanation. Daddy likes to play this game. You bury your feet in the sand past your ankles. You can easily lift your feet out slowly, but it is impossible to jerk your feet out quickly. I guess it is his way of teaching Tyler science.

My First Easter

We went to Oklahoma for Easter. We had lots of fun playing with the Bakers. Mommy and Daddy forgot their camera, so Grams, Aunt Nan, and Aunt Nicky took lots of pictures of us. Please be patient with Mommy, because she has a lot on her plate these days. Eventually she will get the pictures from Oklahoma and put them on the blog. Until then, I hope everyone is doing well and enjoys reading about me and looking at me and my beautiful family!

Happy Birthday, Madison!

My sister Madison is 8 years old today. I don't get to spend much time with her because she lives in Pittsburgh with her mom.


Mommy and Daddy take her to Oklahoma sometimes. She seems to like it there. Daddy can almost always get her to giggle. She has the most infectious laugh.


I hope someday when I am bigger, she and I will be closer. I love and miss you very much, Madison! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Emma!

My cousin Emma is 10 years old today. I don't have any new pics of us together, so I will post some from the past year. Here she is with my Mommy. They have always loved to play dress-up together.

Here she is in her cheerleader outfit. She's going to be a heart breaker.



Here we are the day I came home from the hospital. She was very careful with me, and made sure she held my just right.


Emma and Kaelly at the rodeo in Oklahoma. They had a blast chasing the calves around the arena.


Another pic of Emma and Kaelly. They are like two peas in a pod.


Happy Birthday, Emma. I love you!

Happy Birthday, David!

My cousin David had a big birthday party for his 3rd birthday. Aunt Gerry bought David a big Mickey Mouse balloon. He thought it was really special.


He played and played with that balloon.


This is my cousin Hannah. She had fun playing with me.


I liked sitting in my Grandma Sally's lap. She thinks I look like Daddy.


GiGi said I was a cute, fat baby. But apparently, I'm not as fat as Pappy was when he was a baby. He weighed 31 pounds when he was a year old. I still have a ways to go before I catch up to him!


This is most of the Born clan. It's fun to have lots of family around.


Here I am with my brother, sisters, Kamryn, and David.


Daddy is David's godfather. They love each other very much.


Kamryn likes Daddy, but not as much as David does. At least she like him more than she used to. She agreed to sit in his lap long enough to take this picture.


Here are the four generations of Donalds: Donald Harry Sr, Donald Harry Jr, Donald E. (Daddy won't let anyone know his middle name), and Donald Tyler. They are four handsome gentlemen.


Happy Birthday, David! I love you!
