Too bad we didn't get a shot of everyone together, but you can only guess what Tad was thinking about his crazy "uncles"
Uncle Matt, Drew and Dave
Poor Peja is not the center of attention anymore
Yes...he really did eat a whole apple!
Dad and Tadeus at the new park in our neighborhood
Chilling in Lemoore at Julia's First Birthday
Tad's First Bike
Do all toddlers LOVE pushing strollers and shopping carts around???
Our little climber used to only make it into a drawer or a basket...now we find him on tables!
Crawling around at Granddad Piper's retirement party
Reading with one of his favorite high school boys, Grant
Our first trip to the zoo!
The petting zoo
We have been encouraged to help Tad drink from a sippy cup so that we don't have to give him a bottle as we transition to cow's milk...it is a very slow process!
You already know that Tad loves bath time...here he is getting caught sneaking into the bathroom to play with his toys. Definitely cannot take your eyes off him for a second anymore!
It seems like his eyes get more blue everyday 
Bath time with cousin Joey (18 months)
Taking a break
That's right, dad makes mom do all the work!
Hiking with Cornerstone's College/Young adult group on our retreat in Santa Cruz, California. Outside of our beautiful hike, people spent most of the weekend trying to get Tad to say their name...Brrrad, A-man-duh, Mmmike. But we all know what his real first word will be...Oppenhuizen! :)
