Uh Oh

12.14.08

Tynan is usually pretty content when we put him on the floor. If we put him on his tummy, he reaches for his toys and kicks his little feet and picks up his chest. If we put him on his back, we make sure he has room to roll to his right (cause he still doesn't roll to the left) and he rolls to his tummy pretty quickly and then hangs out there for a while.

Until now!!! I just happened to be recording when he did this! I think this time was sort of an accident, but he liked it so much he kept on doing it. (Although he probably also liked the way mommy cheered him on. . . What have I done?) So if he's suddenly twice as mobile, and he's at the stage where he puts everything into his mouth, we definitely have a bit of a problem on our hands. . .

Five Months

12.10.08

Tynan is five months old today! I can't believe the changes! He is starting to scoot around a bit on his tummy. Last week he rolled off the Boppy and thought it was hilarious (I about had a heart attack though!). He has been sleeping well most nights except for when his teeth wake him. His little gums are swollen around where the two front bottom teeth will be, worse on the right. He chomps on everything he can get his hands on, and if he can't grab anything he'll just chomp on his hands! He is also developing more personality every day. I still can't believe my little guy is getting less little so fast!

Tynan and Daddy

Tynan looks so sweet in this picture! Shawn was sick through the night and was just starting to feel better and Tynan helped with his happy smiles.

Visit with Christy

11.30.08

Tynan and I stopped by for a quick visit at Christy's house, where Christy's roommate got Ty to copy his arm motions (he was celebrating a touchdown). For some weird reason, my camera was in my purse, so I decided to take a picture (I didn't get Tynan's victory arms though, darnit).

Super Sweet Guitar Shoes!

12.6.08

A lady who works in the department next to mine brought her son in one day, and he was wearing these super awesome guitar shoes. I did a little online investigating and found the shoes on babycenter.com's store website and decided that, even if I was a great big copycat, I had to buy them for Tynan. And then, even though he does not need shoes, seeing as how he does not walk, I had to put them on him. (They actually held his socks on, so they really do have a purpose even at this early date!) And then, of course, I had to take a picture! He must have his mommy's feet though; he needs shoes in extra wide sizes. . .

Tynan and Santa

11.29.08

We went to the mall for Tynan's first Santa picture. We didn't have to wait in line, which was nice and surprising for a Saturday. Also, they let us take our own pictures with our own cameras! I just happened to have mine in my purse. . . Apparently I am kind of a picture-taking fiend, or so people tell me. . . Tynan asked Santa for an end to teething pain!

Thansgiving Weekend

11.28-11.29.08

Here is Tynan getting lovings from Grandma Wendy. He is wearing his supercute "Grandma's Prince Charming" onesie. We went home for a quick visit after I got off work on Thanksgiving, and both our families were nice enough to have second Thanksgiving dinners with us. Thanks for the tasty food everyone! And, of course, for the nice visiting time!

Visit with Rich

11.28.08

Tynan and I got to visit with Rich for a few minutes on Black Friday. We didn't get a chance to see Sue or any of the kids but our trip was just a last minute overnight thing and Rich only got about thirty minutes warning. That is okay, though, we're pretty sure we'll be back for Christmas!

Thanksgiving

11.27.08

Here is Tynan eating solid food on his first Thanksgiving! He ate about a teaspoon of rice cereal. Everyone try not to be jealous of this fine dining experience! This makes me think of Thanksgiving last year. Shawn was in Wisconsin deer hunting with his grandfather and I made a quick trip home to eat Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house. On the drive back, I had to stop at reststops three times!! The next day, I bought a pregnancy test and found out (on Black Friday, ha ha ha!) that Tynan was going to be joining our family. Hard to believe it was only a year ago!

Thank you Teresa!

To Tessie-

I don't have your current address anymore, so I have not been able to send you a thank you card for the bathrobe and toy keys that you gave to Tynan. Then it occurred to me - I could do a cyber thank you! Here is a picture of Tynan with his keys, and you can see the bathrobe in the post before the post before this one. He has just started to grab toys to put them in his mouth (he used to only grab and chew on blankets) so his keys came in handy today! Thanks again for the thoughtful gifts! We hope to see you next week or maybe the following month when we are in town :-)
