Timeline of Ty
















Ty is 5 Months Old
















Happy 5 month birthday to Ty! I can't believe how fast its going. Here's a quick update on everything that is Ty...
He ate his first solid food today. He had carrots and he loved them! Patrick made all his food from organic vegetables steaming them and mashing them in our food processor so all his food is super healthy and yummers. I didn't let him feed himself but I did let him inspect the spoon and in the process he spread all excess carrot all over his face. You should know that my goofy dogs love pureed vegetable baby food so they will be getting all his leftovers.
When I shower I have been placing him in his bouncer on the floor. It kind of makes him lay back at an angle. Recently he has been sitting straight up in it and then leans forward and scales down the leg of it and onto the bath mat. I saw it all go down the other day with conditioner in my hair and not a whole lot of options. When I finally got to him he was just laying there smiling his big toothless grin.
At our last Dr appointment Ty was a little skinny for the Dr's liking so we've been working on monitoring his food intake and supplementing his normal feedings with expressed milk in a bottle. I weighed Ty today on an olive scale at the grocery store (yes I really sat my child on a grocery store scale) and in 2 weeks he gained 1.2 pounds so he is now officially up to 14.2 pounds. Thats only going to go up as we add more and more solids into his daily routine. He's still in the 85 percentile for height though at 26.5 inches.
Its almost halloween and we are so excited! This pumpkin get up I have him in is not his costume its just a cute outfit I saw for super cheap one time before he was even born. Not sure what I was thinking buying a fleece pumpkin suit for him to wear in Texas in October where its still 90 degrees everyday but oh well he looks darn cute in it.
He laughs all the time now. He especially enjoys it when I make funny sounds and use funny voices for him. He's also incredibly ticklish so its pretty easy to get him to laugh tickling him too.
He knows his name now and will look at you when you say it. I'm pretty sure he knows who Paris and Payton are since I am constantly yelling at them all day long. He may even know them as idiots as I shout that at them all day too.
