Ty's 2nd Birthday!!

My little man is 2!!  I can't believe how grown up he is now.  Tyson is simply the best.  He is the happiest kid, laughs and giggles all the time, is still super smiley (so much so that I am having trouble getting a passport photo of him done), and is just a really happy kid.  Tyson LOVES cars and anything with wheels.  That is probably putting it lightly.  Anywhere we go, if there are strollers or wagons, he is on them right away.  Kinda frustrating, but that's my little guy.  Ty also loves letters.  He knows almost all of his alphabet and loves to read letters everywhere!  Going to the mall means lots of signs to read the letters on, and he loves to watch Wheel of Fortune!  Ty and I also finally got off nursing about 2 months ago and he is feeding himself really well now.  He loves grapes, chicken nuggets, and these baby granola bars.  I am so proud of my little man!

Such a good picture!  Looking so grown up!

When Ty got up from his nap on his birthday it was party time!!  He loved the balloons!  He had to play with them right away, chasing after them saying, "ba, ba, ba"!!  (Ball)

Opening presents!!  Not too many pictures of this as it was a mad dash to get the trucks out of their boxes!  Ty got a bunch of new cars and trucks - his favorite!  

Cool sword from Gabby and Kent!

Playing with one of my new cars.

Ty's new favorite movie is Cars (big surprise, I know).  Cool Cars cake though!  And the cars on top are real cars!  They actually roll really well too - very impressed!

Loving his cake!

Eyeing up those cars!  He loved those more than the actual cake!

Happy Birthday little man!  Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

Baby #2!!!

It came as a bit of a surprise, but we are super excited to announce that we are expecting baby #2!!  I am due around April 24, 2013.  I think my doctor in Calgary really likes looking at tests results (he often goes on about how cool this and that test are and goes through all my results with me even though everything is normal).  On the plus side, I got a 7 week and a 12 week ultrasound already!  Its actually really amazing too see how much the baby has changed in only about a month.  The 7 week ultrasound is basically a grey blob that you can maybe see it flicker (I did get to hear the heartbeat, which was very cool).  By 12 weeks there is a real baby in there!  The baby had hiccups during the appointment, very cute!  Here is a picture of our new little one, 12 weeks old (back on Oct 9)!!
