Going to the Beach at Lake Murray

FUN FUN FUN!!! Ty and I went to the beach at Lake Murray. What a blast. I brought a big sheet and some toys for Ty to play with thinking that he may not like the water. Well, no toys were needed. The kid loved it! He thought the waves were the best. When they would "crash" on him he would look at me and cackle and give me a big grin. He took his shovel with him in the water to scoop up the sand (and yes he did eat it) and spalsh the water. He did not want to get out at all. He loved watching all of the other children play. We only got to stay for about an hour and a half because a big black cloud rolled in. I packed up just in time because by the time we got on the dam it was pouring rain.
Here are some fun pics. The hat is a boy hat. It looks kinda girly in the pics though.

8 months

Wow! I am late on this post. When your child is sick, every little task seems so much harder. I have been to this page numerous times to work on it, something else always gets in the way. So here are some 8 months stats:

Wearing 12 month clothes (somethings in 18 month)

Size 3-31/2 shoes (bought walking shoes at stride rite...hello price tag)

Size 4 diapers ( still can fit in size 3 but size 4 hold more pee at night and Ty seems to wet through his diaper ALOT)

Weighing in around 22lbs.

Sitting really well.

Can not sit up on his own from lying down.

Will NOT crawl (looks like a fish out of water)

Has 4 teeth that has broken the gums (top 2 and bottom 2)

Has 2 teeth peeking at us (his eye teeth)

Has started biting (and I mean leaving bruises on me!)

LOVES the water--any kind-pool, bath, lake...he'll go with any of them.

I am still amazed at how much I love this little boy. Words just cant describe.

Ok..so a funny story....I took Ty to work the other day and took his Bumbo so he would sit and not go anywhere while I got some things done. Well, I sat him on his Daddy's desk where he has magazines and papers stacked all around. I made a spot in the middle and plopped Ty there. Within 10 seconds EVERY MAGAZINE AND PIECE OF PAPER WERE ON THE FLOOR AND HE HAD A BUSINESS CARD IN HIS MOUTH. I put an important piece of paper behind him so he would not mess with it. He somehow was able to turn all the way around in his bumbo and get that paper. I told him NO NO 3 times. he just looked at me and grabbed it again everytime. I then took my finger and waved it back and forth and said NO NO much more stern and gave him a "mean" face. He then proceded to laugh and smile as he did it again. oh boy....when does time out start? I can tell I am going to be pushed to the edge.

Here are a few pics from his 8 month portfolio!

Ty's 2 Teeth

Here is a pic of Ty's 2 teeth. He has more coming in. He is just a chewing on everything! Pardon the dirty face. He just finished eating.

This pic is just one that I thought was funny and cute.

MAMAMAMAMAMAMA.....

Ty said Mama! My heart is melting. He said Ma yesterday, but today it is mamamamamama. I love it now but I am sure one day I will think differently, LOL. Here is my angel.

Hanging out with The Cousins

Sunday we went over to my Aunt Cheryls and Uncle Carl house. Ty got to hang out with his twin cousins Kelsey anf Bailey. He had lots of fun. We went swimming, played in their rooms and ate lots of food. Arent these girls beautiful and there are 2 of them!

Peach Festival

We went to the Peach Festival on the 4th. It was hot but had a great time. Saw a few people we knew and ate hot dogs for lunch. Here are a few pics of just Ty. The white stripe down his forehead is sunscreen.

Toby and Fireworks

Oh my. My dog Toby cracks me up. HE did NOT like the fireworks for 4th of July. We were in bed watching TV and heard something under the bed. Toby had crawled underneath it. Now mind you Toby is HUGE. 90+ pounds. Very tall for his breed. I looked over the side of the bed and this is what I saw.

Here is him under the bed. We fell asleep with him under there so I dont know how long he stayed there. My poor scardy cat dog.
