Tynan's First Christmas

12.25.08

This is so stinking cute! Tynan got clothes, a Fisher Price pelican, a teething ring, and a teddy bear that is bigger than he is! He probably had the most fun with the wrapping paper though. That's how it always is, right?

Rap Star?


12.21.08

I call this outfit Tynan's rap star suit. Shawn said we should put a bunch of gold chains on him and a ballcap turned sideways. Wonder if anyone sells grills for kids with no teeth?

Waterfall Soother


12.18.08

I got in a little bit of trouble for ordering this waterfall soother off the internet (partly because it was not the only thing I ordered!) but Tynan loves it! Several times we have put him down and turned it on and it has helped sooth him to sleep. It moves, lights up, and plays sleepy time music and Tynan loves to watch it - when he is in the right mood. I set him down for a minute to wash my hands and turned it on and had to grab the camera when I came back!

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!
A look back:

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!
