Ty's First Cold

Well, the time has come. Ty is sick. He started getting a little stuffy Friday night and by Saturday afternoon, he was "snotty". There is some coughing and sneezing going on and alot of nose sucking. He does not have a fever and is still eating and sleeping just fine. We are using saline drops every 3 hours to keep the mucus thinned. His poor little eyes are red and watery and you can just look at him and tell he does not feel good. I feel so bad for him. The wheezing is breaking my heart. I hope things will go away fast since I am sucking the nose as often as possible. Keep him in your prayers that this will not turn into anything any bigger like an ear infection. I cant imagine having to give him 3 medicines at once. Yikes.

Merry Christmas!

I can hardly believe that Christmas is here! It has been so much fun with Ty here. We took some really cute pics of him as Santa. I know when he gets older, he is going to be a little embarrased by them, atleast his daddy thinks he will be.



Christmas eve night, we spent the night over at my sister's Missy's house. We have done this for years. We read The Night Before Christmas and left cookies and milk for Santa.


Everybody went to bed early except for Ty. He decided to go to bed around 11:30. Mommy had to wake him up at 3:30am to feed and then his tummy was hurting so we did not go back to bed. Aunt Missy came down around 4:30am to get us up because Santa Clause came. This is not early for us on Christmas. In the past we have gotten up as early as 3:00am. This is a problem me and Missy have had since we were little. We are just so excited, we can's stand it. Ty decided to sleep through Christmas, which was Ok. Santa brought him toys and diapers.

After opening presents and eating a little breakfast, there were some tired old people. Grandad and Ty decided that it was time to take a nap. Ty is used to being up so early, grandad not so much!

What an amazing Christmas. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. God has truly blessed us with so many things to be thankful for, but our most precious gift he gave us was his his son Jesus Christ. I hope everyone had a most wondferful Christmas as our family did.

Fun new pics







Getting ready for Christmas!

Wow, getting ready for Christmas has been so much fun! Ty and I have been shopping a little. We got him a cute little outfit to wear for Christmas.

Ty has got to meet alot of family for the first time. Friday night we had my dad's side of the family over to our house and then Saturday morning we went to Charleston to see Travis's stepfather Ron, and then Saturday night we went to the Jackson's for Christmas over there. Santa came by to say hello to all the children. It was so much fun. All the kids were so excited, as was I. We all got to take pictures with him. I am happy that I wont have to take him to the mall to see Santa with all the kids and germs there.

Cousin Kathy and Ty

Today we went to my mom's house for my side of the family Christmas. Ty got to meet a bunch of new family there too.

We are so thankful to have such a large family. Between my side and Trav's, Ty has a lot of cousins to grow up with and I am so happy about that.

Ty's first road trip

Ty had his first road trip today. We went to Charleston, SC to see Travis's stepfather Ron. Ty got to meet his Pops and grandma Sue. He also got to meet lots of cousins and Aunt Leann. We couldnt stay long, but Ty was able to get lots of kisses and hugs.












Ty was very good all the way there and back. He slept the whole time. We did not have to stop once. Hopefully this is a good sign for trips in the future.

Another Doctor's visit

Well, we were at the doctor's again on Tuesday. This time for REFLUX! Ty tends to have ALOT of spit up with everyone of his burps and tends to be fussy. We are going to try Zantac to see if it helps. So far, things look good. We also found out what was going on with all these rashes he has. Well, he has 3! Baby acne, milk bumps(i don't remember the official name) on his nose, and cradle cap on his head and between his eyes and on his eyebrows. It is so pitiful looking. There is nothing to do for the milk bumps or baby acne, but we have to wash his hair with Selsun Blue 3-5 times a week for his cradle cap. Poor fella just cant catch a break.

Here's the crazy news. He weighed 12lbs 6ozs! Can you believe it! I can. After holding him for ten minutes, I feel all 12 lbs. He is heavy.

Playing with Mommy

Today is the first day Ty has really held eye contact with me while I played with him. I would make funny sounds and he would smile at me. I didn't feel any pootin' going on so I really do think he was smiling at me. It just melted my heart. I wish I was able to get a picture of the big grins he was giving me. I can't wait for him to start lauging and giggling.

1 Month Old Today

Can you believe it. My little monkey is 4 weeks old today. My how time flies. I can not believe that it was a month ago that I was pregnant and ready to meet my little one. It is so funny how some of the quirks he had in my belly are the same quirks he has now. Like kicking and punching all the time. He likes to move his arms and legs constantly. He hates to have his arms pinned down when he is wrapped in a blanket. He has to be able to move them. He is growing so fast. I can not wait to get him weighed again. I am going to make him an appointment at the lactation center to get weighed next week. They have a top of the line scale there and he does not go back to the doctor until January 14 so I don't want to have to wait.

We got up this morning and grandma came over to help get us ready for pictures. We headed to Olan Mills to get the new baby package. FREE PICTURES!!! He did great for his pictures. He was awake, but smiles were few and far between. He didn't cry once though. Just not in the mood for smiling. We got a couple of good shots. Once they come up online, I will send the link. I am going to go broke on pictures. I just love them all. While we were picking out his pics, Ty decided to go potty and somehow it was so bad that it,(poop), went all the way up his back and was all over his clothes (went through both his shirt and overalls). Thank goodness this happened after his pics. Lucky for me, I was not finished with the pics so grandma had to go clean him up. It just about wooped her. It was funny.

Happy One Month Birthday to my little monkey, little man, moose, my Ty, pumpkin, and I am sure many more names to come. I love you.
