Ty with his Aunt and Uncle. Notice the funny face he and Dustin are making in the second picture of them, they look so much alike with the goofy facial expression they have. Also please note that Dustin holds Ty as though he were a sack of poo. He was scared to hold him but he did fine and he didn't even drop him.

I just bought Ty a Bumbo chair which is the blue thing he is sitting in. He really enjoys being in it and will sometimes (depending on his mood) sit in it for 30 minutes. He is starting to pay attention to toys which is so cool and so much fun. I put him in his chair and show him pictures and read him books too. Its amazing to me that a 2 month old will actually look and pay attention to books and pictures but then again I should expect it since I have the most advanced and smartest baby ever. His happiest time is in the evening after his last nap of the day and before his bath. We play a long time in his room with all his toys, we read books and look at pictures and listen and dance to all his cds. We currently are in love with his new Raffi CDs that my mom checked out from the library and I burned copies of for free. Oh yeah I thought I should also add that he really likes looking at pictures of other babies and what's really funny is he spends a great deal of time staring at the black babies. I read an article once that babies are born "racist" and they could tell this because babies would stare at other babies that were a different color then them for much longer then they did at the babies that were the same color trying to figure out what was wrong with them. On another note I signed Ty up for a UT child psychology study that he will participate in when he is 9 months maybe it will be something like the aforementioned study.

Baby's first Burberry. My mom bought Ty his first Burberry shirt the other day at Neiman Marcus. It was on sale for $20 so very reasonable. Before Ty was born I looked into buying him a couple of the polo style Burberry shirts to match his daddy's however the baby shirts cost more then the daddy shirts! How is that even possible? Needless to say Ty did not get any, maybe one day if/when we're rich. I decided to just post some random pictures to get the blog up to date and think its funny that 2 of my favorite shots Ty is wearing the best of the best and something total PWT. You have the adorable Burberry shirt and you have him in a wife beater that says "My First Gun Show" and nothing but a diaper. This is usually not my style but he had just pooped in his regular outfit for the day and it was only a couple hours until it was time to put on his pajamas so I thought I would try on the shirt that his great-uncle Mike sent him and pair it with the thing I hate most, just a diaper. It takes a special kind of person to pull off that fashion misstep and I must say Ty is so dang cute, he does it flawlessly.

Ty loves his nightly baths. I can't wait for him to be able to sit up on his own so I can bathe him in the big bath tub and let him play with toys. I took a bath every night when I was pregnant with him, he's just like his mommy he loves his baths. I wanted a picture of him to show him one day that he really was small enough to be bathed in the sink and I was very careful to not get a shot of his wee wee as to not embarrass him when I turn this picture in to the mom who makes the slide show for his senior year football banquet to use while Sunrise Sunset plays in the background.

ooops looks like keeping up with a blog is a little bit more difficult then expected with a newborn baby. Since my last post on July 4 (dang its already July 15) Ty has changed quite a bit. It seems like over night he changed from looking like a newborn to looking like a baby. I sent an email out to all of mu friends with his 6-7 week pictures and the responses I got were so overwhelming in favor that I really do have the cutest baby ever. Everyone took the time to wirt back and tell me what a beautiful baby Ty is. Why did I ever worry that Patrick and I would have ugly kids? Some new developments of Ty over the past couple of weeks:

He loves to look at himself in his mirror and coo. He has a little crib mirror that has a bumble bee on it and for some reason he absolutely loves that bee. He smiles at it every morning.

He smiles alot easier now and at everyone. When you catch him in a good mood he smiles constantly and is so adorable.

He has chubby, extremely kissable cheeks but if you kiss him too much, he will roll his eyes. He also rolls his eyes at his grandma if she talks in a super high voice for too long.

During week 6 he started having "conversations" with my mom. She would talk and he would be quiet and intently listen when she was done speaking he would take his turn to make noises and "talk" back to her.

He makes great eye contact and will follow the voice if you move away from him or to another side.

At the beginning of his 8th week he discovered he had feet! he looked at them for a long time as I showed him is toes and told him all he could do someday with his big feet.

He loves his baths and we have one every night and now he can sit through an entire book when I read it. We read "Caps For Sale" and he listen to the whole thing! We've added that to our nightly routine now too.

Yesterday was a big day for Ty because he almost rolled over by himself. He made it all the way to his side and got stuck. He's been doing it all the time now ever since. o more leaving him anywhere alone! I can't believe my almost 2 month old can already almost roll over. I know its going to happen any day. Me and my siblings didn't rol over until 3 months so he may just beat us!

Thats about it for now. There are so many new things and milestones that he's reaching everyday. I cherish every moment that I have with him I just love him so much!

Ty's 1st 4th of July

Tyson's 1st fourth of July at Grandmas house. We went to the Hula Hut with Oma and Opa and the rest of the family to celebrate mom's birthday. Ty hadn't napped the previous 2 days so when he fell asleep on the way to grandmas house so I dropped the dogs at the door and told everyone we would meet them at the restaurant! He slept all the way there and while I drove around the parking lot in circles. Of course as soon as we got to Hula Hut he woke up screaming so me and grandma took turns eating and taking him outside. Not a super successful trip to a restaurant but he is only 6 weeks old! It should only get better (hopefully). After lunch we went back to the house where Ty was in a super good mod. He laid on the floor and smiled at everyone and was talking quite a bit. I was shocked that a baby who had been up for almost 8 hours could be so happy and well behaved. When we got home he finally slept for 4 hours, woke up for 2 and then went to be for the night. Now that daddy is back in Houston and Ty doesn't feel the need to stay up in case he misses something he should sleep better and get back on his schedule. Next year will be more fun because Ty is going to be in the Circle C parade and we can go to a firework show and he should enjoy it. Happy Independence Day!
