4th of July Weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We went up to Mike's families cabin in Cedar city and enjoyed the cool weather. On Saturday we took Tyson down to the parade. He didn't like the fire trucks because of the loud sirens. After they were over though he watched the rest and then took a little nap. That afternoon we went up to Mike's grandparents cabin and had dutch oven food and took a walk down by the little stream. It was fun, but Tyson was really tired and so by about 6:15 he was in bed. We did get to watch the fireworks they had in town because we could see them from the cabin. All in all it was a good weekend and we really enjoyed getting away.

Oh yeah one new thing Tyson can do is on Tuesday morning I went into his room to get him and found him standing by the side of the crib, he did this after both of his naps too. Mike has now lowered the mattress down so that he can't acidentally climb out.

All Boy

Here are a few pictures of Tyson over the last few weeks. He is loving getting in the pool and going swimming. All he wants to do is kick and splash when he is in there. He also loves to eat. Almost everything I give him he eats with no problem at all. I hope this doesn't change, I really don't want a picky eater.

He is also all ready for church in his white shirt and tie. My mom came down this weekend and we made this little tie for him, I think it turned out so cute. I just love him looking like a little man.

In the last picture is his car. Mike bought this for him and he loves it. At first he didn't like the wheel because it turns so that is why the blanket it is over it, but now he doesn't mind it and will actually grab onto it. He is growing up so much and we are enjoying every minute with him. He now scoots all over the floor and loves to walk if you hold his hands

SCOOTING!!

I usually put Tyson on the floor in the mornings with toys around him. Well this is what happened this morning when I did this.

Yep he has finally started to scoot around on the floor. This is so exciting although I am sure eventually I will want those days back when he would just sit in one place but for now it is fun and exciting.

Random

Well here are just some random pictures of Tyson. I realized I haven't put any pic's of him up in over a month so I figured I would put a few.







This is Tyson watching Mike and I plant some of the plants in our back yard. He really loves to be outside. In fact if he is every fussy I will take him outside and he is immediatly happy which is nice.

This video is of Tyson pulling himself up using a golf club and Mike holding onto it. He thinks he is bigger than he is and can't wait to start walking. That is all he wants to do is grab Mike or I's hands and walk around the house.

Taylor Swift

For Mother's Day Mike gave me tickets to go and see Taylor Swift. The concert was on Saturday night and it was so much fun. My mom came down and and watched Tyson while we went out. It was our first full night out with someone else putting Tyson to bed and it was great. I really enjoyed getting out of the house for a night so THANKS MOM for coming and letting us get out.

The concert started with a band called Gloriana which I had never heard of but was pretty good. Next Kelly Pickler came out and performed and did really well. I really like the songs that she sings. Then Taylor Swift came out and put on a really good show. The whole concert lasted 3 1/2 hrs which I think is pretty long, most of the other concerts I have been too haven't been that long. There was also a point when she came out in the audience and sang and took pictures with people which I thought was really cool. Thanks honey for the tickets and a great night out with you!!

6 months where does time go

The last 6 months have sure changed our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way. We love having Tyson in our family and can't wait to see him grown and change. Here are a few of his stats for 6 months.

Height: 26 1/2 inches (75%)

Weight: 15 lbs 10 oz (10%)
Head: 43 cm (25-50%)

He is now sitting up really well by himself and loves to talk and talk. He tries to scoot but hasn't quite gotten there yet, I know it won't be too long so I am loving that he isn't mobile quite yet. He sleeps almost all through the night with only waking up for 1 feeding. He is loving eating new vegetables and will look forward to fruits soon. So far he is eating squash, peas, and carrots. I think his favorite right now is carrots probably because they are sweeter than the others but mom makes him eat them all.

And now for some pictures:

Happy Birthday!!

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my Husband. He is the best husband ever. I couldn't ask for anyone better. He is always there for me and willing to help out whenever needed. He helps take care of the house and also helps with laundry and dinner when I am at work. I feel so lucky to have him as a husband. He is also a great dad to Tyson and I am so glad that they get time to spend together during the week while I am at work.

Thanks Honey for all that you do and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
