Updates

It's different, new, exciting.  All of Ty's milestones are new to us, we are new parents. Regardless we know that due to him having a some lower muscle tone, him pulling himself up is harder.  He has wanted and tried to pull himself up from his crib for at least three months now, and he would only get to his knees.  He would sit there on his knees peeking with his head up as high as he could get it to look at us from his crib.  He tries, and he would try, he would pull and fall, pull and fall and then one evening, all by himself he finally did it.  Tyce pulled himself up.  We were all so excited.  Some parents may take this for granted and some may not, we take it as a huge step in him figuring his body out and maybe the start of walking sooner then later, perhaps?

  His dad and I both witnessed it twice since then and now he is trying to pull up on everything.  And with a little push he will move around furniture.

  He had his one year check up last week.  So at 12 months old he weights 21.7 pounds and he is 28.5 inches, he is smaller, but still hanging in there strong.   Overall he is pretty healthy.  He was given a third opinion on his glasses and the eye doctor wants us to hold off on his glasses for a couple more years.  He get's his kidneys rechecked in the middle of July.  He got his blood work re-drawn and we are waiting to hear those results, hopefully all will continue to be well.  Ok, since this draft, we got the blood tests back and we are good, good for one more year, yay!  Ty is now completely on whole milk, we mix it up and give him bottles and sippys of milk. I am so not ready for him to be close to being off the bottle.  We recently started using simply thick to thicken up his milk and it has been working great, he caught on and he likes it, who wouldn't he is no longer choking. He is also getting so much faster crawling all around the house and getting into everything now, we have to close all the doors, because he will book it anywhere he is not suppose to be.   Yesterday he was chasing bo with a wooden spatula.    :)  He also is a fanatic of pizza, grilled cheese and mac and cheese, go figure he must be an American boy!  His feeding is starting to get pickier so we are getting creative like adding chicken to his grilled cheese or veggies to his pizza.   I also think he has a bit of a texture issue, he is not a fan of slimy food, like bananas and mandarin oranges, they drive him nuts!    Those are our boys updates ;).

  Today we went to our friend Andrews birthday party, I didn't get to take a ton of pictures because TJ stayed home sick :(.  But I caught a few.
