7 1/2 Months

Finally some pictures of my Little Ty. He is 7 1/2 months old and can I just say how much I LOVE this stage! His personality is coming out more and more. I feel like I can actually play with him and he responds to me. His laugh is the most contagious thing, he shakes his head NO to everything and he is crawling everywhere! Even though I have to watch him like a hawk now, I would rather it be this way because two weeks ago he WAS NOT the happiest baby. He would get so frustrated because he was stuck in his little rolling circle that he couldn't get out of and couldn't get anywhere he wanted to. Now he is exploring his huge world called

"Our Home" :)

Ty doesn't act like a baby very often but there are a few things he just can't let go of... Like The Swaddle. As you can see in this picture his swaddle is barely put together enough to be called one. There are huge rips and holes everywhere, but still he wants it for every nap and when he goes down for the night. Hey if this helps him sleep better, I can hold on to this one for as long as he wants!

Another thing about him is his FAVORITE toy is a Tag. Thats right any tag on a toy, blanket, clothing, whatever, wherever, if its a tag, he is all over it! He plays with it, sucks on it, sings to it, rubs it on his cheek... It makes him so happy, it is the funniest thing! Oh and if you look closely in this picture you can see his adorably, crooked two bottom teeth.

This little guy is for sure going to be seeing the orthodontist!!

Time with Dad...

priceless.

A Quick Christmas/New Year

I am such a terrible blogger! It's already 2011 and I just posted about our Maui trip... It's a New Year and time for some New Goals! The Holidays were so much fun. We soaked in all the time we had with our family, and its been so fun to have our own little family now. December consisted of: Kurt Bestor Concert, lots of white elephant parties, school/work break, late nights playing nerts, eating way too much, gift exchanges, LOTS of Family Time, too many trips to walmart, Dan on the guitar singing christmas songs, cooking cooking cooking, afternoon naps, loving every second of it all. This was the only picture I could find on Christmas, but at least I got one! My little sister got us all new pajamas :)

Life has been good to us: We are living in our home and loving our neighbors (and having a garage and yard.) I was able to go back to work to help us get the loan. Dan is on his last semester before graduating. Ty has been growing way to quickly he is sitting up, army crawling everywhere, has two bottom teeth (his first one came in while we were in Hawaii), puts his arms out to be held, eating fruits/veggies/rice cereal and getting super chunky, and slowly starting to wave with his fingers. I do take pictures of him, it just takes me forever to upload them on my computer... Like I said, I am making some New Goals.
