Ty is Amazing
I am so amazed and and in awe each day as I watch my son grow and learn. He is only 10 months old now but he has the heart and mind of an experienced toddler. He has grown so much in the few months that we moved to Maryland. I feel that being around all the other big kids in the church day care has really had an effect on him and has pushed him and encouraged him to do so much more.
He already has 4 shinny white teeth.
He crawls and cruises like a pro.
He is standing on his own and will cross back and forth between furniture and people.
He is eating almost everything in sight. I am still breastfeeding him but he is sampling everything that daddy and I eat.
Oh and he makes the cutest baby noises ever. Clicking his tongue, trying to blow kisses, trying to whistle (he almost got it).
His birthday is coming up soon and I can't wait to see how that all plays out. We already have all the details planned out so no we just have to watch how it all comes together.

Time is Flying
Okay I have so neglecting this blog ... poor Ty.
So much has happened for him since Thanksgiving ... my little man is growing up so fast. He is still teething a lot, no teeth have broken the surface yet but they are really starting to get to him. He is still the ever so peaceful, pleasant and cheerful baby. He just gets a little frustrated in the early evenings from his gums.
He's really starting to roll around now and be really involved with his environment and the people around him. Everything, I mean everything within arms reach of him will end up in his mouth. He's starting to really reach for toys and faces well and controlled. Oh and he has TONS to talk about. I love to walk up in the mornings to see him staring at me and just talking and laughing to himself. Only wish I knew what he was telling me ... what ever it is, it is funny.
Oh he starting to be a shot expert. Of course the first initial 20 seconds after the shot are explosive, but then he looks at me and daddy, sees that we aren't panicked or fussed, realizes the pains over and smiles.
Did I mention that he is trying so hard to sit up on his own. He raises his little head and neck and shoulders but just can't manage to get the rest yet. With a tiny bit of our help he is up though. Now we just have to get him to stay up and stop falling over. He can tripod for a few moments, maybe even a few minutes, but once something outside his view gets his attention and he needs to turn the concentration is gone and he goes a tumbling (which he finds to be the greatest sensation in the world, he loves falling over).
We have kind of slowed down on the picture taken lately, but I promise to take some again soon.
Hopefully it won't be another 2 months before I come back again.

Ty's First Thanksgiving
This year our Thanksgiving was extra special thanks to Ty. It was our first time celebrating the holiday back in Orlando since our engagement in 2003. And our first Thanksgiving we spent together as a family ... Chris, Ty and myself. It was awesome. We have so much to be thankful for this year.
Those are just a few of the qualities you learn being a follower of Christ. And this year we got the honor and privilege of sharing what we are thankful for with family and friends.
Every year brings new experiences, memories, challenges and rewards. This year Chris and I were blessed to conceive, develop and birth our first precious baby boy. We have been over joyed by the blessings this adventure has brought us so far. And love every moment we spend with him.
Just a few years back we would have not have thought that this time was possible. After an unfortunate miscarriage in 2005 and years of unsuccessful attempts we had almost given up trying to raise a family. But God showed his love and mercy on us this year and here I am writing this blog post with a precious (and quite adorable) baby sleeping on my chest.
Love, forgiveness, honesty, and thankfulness …

My Big Boy
Oh man, I am such a bad mommy blogger ... it has been so long since I have been here I almost forgot how to log in and make a new post.
Well, all things in Ty-Land are great. He is growing and developing well.
He is now talking up a storm ... well baby talk at least. We will laugh and coo at each other for like 20 minutes. He seems to have a ball and have so much to say.
He pretty much has full control of his neck muscles now. Which is awesome, he can now look around and see so much of his world.
He has quite gotten down reaching for items yet but once he gets something in his hand he has a good grip and it will probably end up in his mouth in a few seconds.
Speaking of his mouth, they haven't broken through yet but we can already see 2 little teeth under his gum. I still think we have a month or so but he is already chewing on them. Instead of sucking his pacifier he is mostly chewing on it and anything that goes in his mouth.
He's just 3 months now but I am starting to look into the right types of cereals to start feeding him in the next month or so.
But he is a pretty healthy boy. At 3 months and already weights around 15 pounds. Funny though you look at him and he doesn't look fat, he just looks big. Kind of like his dad. I would never call Chris fat, but he is muscly big ... big frame. I see Ty will probably have that same build.
He actually had another round of shots which I want to share with you here. I think he is starting to realize how much pain it can but, but I am sure before long he will suck it up just like his father and I. Both of us don't mind needles.

We're All Smiles Now
Nothing feels better right now then when I see his little smiling face. To capture it on camera ... oh man it is like a treasure stored up to be honored over and over again. I love this baby so much and thank God for him every day.

Ty's Plane Ride
This past weekend Chris and I took Ty on his first plane ride to Maryland. We headed up for several reasons. One this weekend was the Harvest Festival at that the church which was a great time and opportunity for us to see a bunch of our old friends and play catch up. It was also a great time for Ty to get to wear is adorable monkey costume. We also went for his first Baby Dedication which was held by Pastor Dale after one of the weekend services (video, pictures and post to come soon).
Load of other great stuff happened this weekend but we got it started off right with an awesome 2 hour plan ride from Orlando to Baltimore. Ty only woke up once during the entire trip and that was a few moments after take off to eat. After that he slept like ... well like a baby. Didn't fuss at all during the landing like we thought he would.
What was awesome was that the crew found out that it was his first plane ride so he got the royal treatment. Ty got his first set of airplane wings, his very one flight certificate and the best part of all ... he got to sit in the cock pit and get his picture taken with the captains hat. My little champ slept through it all but will have the best pictures and stories ever.
