11 months!!

Ty is 11 months old today!! Where has this year gone? I can't believe that we will be celebrating his birthday in 1 month!! Crazy. Life here has been pretty busy. Ty is a very active little man and knows what he wants. He loves anything electronic, especially if he is not allowed to play with it - like the cameras. Therefore, getting pictures and video of him is a HUGE challenge. Every time I pull it out he is attacking me in 2.5 secs!! He even knows the sound of it coming on, so when I try to sneak up on him to catch a moment....well, you get the idea. Our general routine every time he gets up is some cuddles, followed by playing with blocks, chase some blocks, open all the cabinets and empty them, and then run up the stairs. haha!!

Ty is standing and cruising like crazy. He can walk along all the furniture and is more and more interested in walking every day. He will take steps with help around the room and will take a falling step on his own. He is also practicing standing on his own, which is pretty fun and a proud moment for him. Recently he mastered a few other tricks including clapping, high fives, and stacking a block on top of another block (we have been building a lot of towers and playing a lot of patty cake!). He is also very interested in putting things down properly. Like putting the baby monitor down on its base or his sippy cup down on its base. He's pretty good at it, but gets mad when he can't get it after a few tries. Ty is also very chatty lately, but only he can understand his stories yet. No official first word yet!!

The other day Ty mastered a big one for me....he drinks from his sippy cup on his own!!! That's right people, he brings it to his mouth and drinks from it!! One small step towards self feeding....I hope. Eating is still up and down, but has been on the better side for the past few weeks. Sleep still sucks...who knew getting 4 hours straight would be so exciting!! I joked with Brock the other day that this year has flown by, yet I have been awake for more of it than any year of my life!! haha

Just looking cute!

Getting revved up for the first Chargers game of the season!!

Go Chargers!!!

This is my new favorite thing!! A big pet peeve of mine is the dryer door closing automatically, but Ty has been most helpful at holding the door!! Thanks buddy!!

Just out for a walk at the park! I love fall!! The weather is perfect and the colors are so pretty! Ty is also very into his toothbrush. He would not let it go to go out and held it for our entire walk and on the swings!! Weird...maybe he will be a dentist when he grows up!

This is a pic for Ty's wedding for sure!! Sucking face with the window!! He does this with the fireplace, the dishwasher, the stove....haha!! Practicing for the ladies!!

Proof!! He can do it himself!! So far this is the only thing that he will put in his mouth, but i have hope!

Loving his crazy hair!!
