Six Months Old!

Didn't I just post saying he was four months old? Ty is a hefty 18 pounds 5 ounces now, and yes aunts that is mostly in his thighs! :) He is still just staying on all fours and hasn't figured out how to move more than one arm or leg at a time. It is too cute though when he moves one arm forward then can't figure out where to go from there!

This is a video post again. The last two are a bit of ghetto videography, but it's what happens when Bucky is out of town and I want to get something on video. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day

We meant to post yesterday, so sorry it is no longer valentine's day! We've had some warm and sunny weather resulting in melting snow banks. Yeah! Still no new teeth. I keep waiting patiently while Ty's sleep keeps getting worse. Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.

Can you see me?




Hmm, where's my toy?


Go Cougs!


Ty stayed awake for a full hour on our first walk after the big melt! He has always sacked out after 20 minutes before. He was happy to walk too.


Thanks for the snowsuit Nana!


Snowbanks after two days of melting. Should of taken a picture before!

More Teeth are Coming!

We have snow banks higher than your head and Ty has more teeth coming! We've had some restless nights lately due to those darn teeth. The top two are on the move and then hopefully we will have a teething lull for a little while (at least a day please!). Ty weighed in today at 18 pounds fully clothed!





Ty trying out his friend Torin's jumparoo. This smile is when he figured out it bounces! :)




Possibly the cutest baby pose ever. After a bath and sitting up.


The dogs have to work hard to get in and out.

Naked Baby Update!

It was about time to take more naked baby pics to fully embarrass Ty later in life. Here they are! Ty's attempts at crawling are coming along, but who knows when he'll put all the pieces together. He did finally remember that he can roll from his belly to back, and now combines both directions of rolling to get off the blanket while playing. He obviously wants to move, and this is the one way he can! Not too much to report other than MORE snow is coming down right now. The snow banks are higher than your head in some spots and that is before the 10+ inches they're predicting today. This is the most snow Utah has had in several decades!

Ty so conveniently plays with himself during bath time now that I didn't even have to do any editing!


"You lookin' at me?"




Gotta love the thighs!

Videos

At long last, I've had the opportunity to both download videos to my computer and upload them to the blog. Sue and Tom gave us a wonderful video camera for Christmas (thank you, thank you!!) and we've been having a blast capturing all of Ty's silly antics. Well we try, but more often than not the behavior is over once the camera is turned on. Here are a few "best of" videos from our collection. Enjoy!

PS- Make sure your sound is on for these!

Teeth!

Ty now has two teeth! The second came in overnight and is just barely above the gum today. It is amazing how quickly the other one is already rising. We can't wait to take pictures when both teeth are visible! Not too much else going on except the possibility of almost two feet of snow tonight and tomorrow. Nothing yet, so we'll see if the predictions are correct. Sully and I had a fun snowshoe yesterday in the sunny 30 degree weather. Pictures are below. Hope all is well!!

Like the drool??






Can you see my teeth in the picture? (click on the picture to see them!)




We had so many comments about Ty's thighs over Christmas that I thought an updated shot should be taken.

101 Uses

for a baby swing! Well I guess we aren't up to 101 yet, but Ty has been awfully creative in his uses of the swing this week. See below! Yes, with all this chewing on random things teething has come our way. It started Wednesday night and we saw the small hole in his gum yesterday morning. As of this morning I can feel the tooth right under the surface but Ty hasn't let me see his gums yet. Stay tuned for the pictures!

Bucky is back home after another ten day trip into the field. What perfect timing with the onset of teething! I also found a recipient for the large stash of milk I had in the freezer (101 ounces to be exact!). Her name is Hailey and she has been adopted by a family about 30 minutes from here. She was failing to thrive on all types of formula, and has been a different babe since switching to breast milk. I'm now pumping for her too and am officially a milk donor and her "milk mama"!








Woops, he moves quickly!


I like to think it's me...
