Some Big Firsts!

March has been a busy month! Tyson is now 5.5 months old. He hasn't been weighed in a while, but I would guess that he is around 19 lbs. I did an estimated weight with my wii fit. He is laughing and giggling a lot now - which is really fun! Its seriously my favorite thing in the world. He is almost sitting up on his own as well - not quite there but getting super close. He is also working on his crawling muscles. Still a ways away from that, but he is sort of figuring out the motions independently, but he can't put them together yet. He really likes to move around and be active - so the fact that he can't on his own gets him a bit frustrated sometimes. Because of this, we got him a jolly jumper - which he LOVES!! He can jump around in it for about half an hour and has been great for burning off some energy. He has been sleeping a lot better since he has been using it and just loves it. He just wants to move around and explore, so its been perfect!! We also moved Tyson into his big boy crib and his own room. I just love his room and crib set (thanks again Grandma and Gido)! Its super cute Winnie the Pooh themed. He seems to really like sleeping on a real mattress instead of the pack and play hard board thing. The last big first of the month - solids!! We started him on some rice cereal about a week ago, just to get him used to the spoon and the whole experience. He seems to really like it. He doesn't eat too much yet, but its been really fun starting this with him. Here are some pics and video of what we have been up to for the last little while.

Hanging with Tigger. I love this shirt from Auntie Nicole and Uncle Brendon! I'm sad that it will be too small soon, so Ty has been wearing it a lot lately.

Another cute Tigger pic. Isn't the back of the shirt cute? Tigger tail!!!

Thanks for my puppy Grandma! He is super soft and cuddly!

Big smiles for Mommy! I think he looks funny in this pic without any ears! His ears are kinda big and stick out a bit, so its funny to not see them.

Laughing with Mommy!

Ty's new favorite thing is his feet!

Just playing with my feet.

Ty's cute Winnie the Pooh room. Complete with talking Tigger!

Tyson's cute crib! I love his bedroom set.

Ty sleeping in his big boy crib!

Just waking up! He's so funny, he doesn't really cry, he just sits up like this and waits for us to come get him. He just looks around and gives you a big smile when you come in to pick him up. Its really cute!

Solids!! This stuff is yummy!

Can I have some more Mommy?

Check out Ty in his Jolly Jumper!

Tyson's Blessing Day

At the beginning of March we were able to bless Tyson at church. Other than the fact that Tyson screamed (not cried, screamed) through the whole thing, it was a really nice blessing from his Father. Poor guy was just tired and hungry. After his blessing, we had the family back to the house to hang out for a bit. We were able to get some really cute shots - he was in a much better mood after his nap!

Great picture of Ty! I just love this pic!

Cute family shot! Too bad Tyson isn't smiling, but that's hard to do if Brock and I are in the picture too.

Great picture with Daddy.

Cute picture with Mommy.

Tyson's 3 Month Professional Pics


Way back in January, when Tyson was only 2.5 - 3 months old, we got some professional shots done. He looks so little here, especially since he is almost 6 months old now!! He's getting so big - its fun to look back and see how much he has changed in such a short period of time. I have posted a couple of my favorite pictures below.

Family shot with Grandma and Gido.

I love this picture - cute family shot.

Hanging out naked with Daddy!

His eyes were still so blue then. Now they are hazel, just like his Mommy.
Cute footie picture! I love his cute little feet!
