Our December

Here he is signing 'Book'

  Tyce is now 18 months old. His personality continues to evolve, some days he is all attitude and others he is a cuddly baby.  Mostly he is all boy.  His new favorite things are cars, race car ramps, airplanes and train tracks and still books.  This kiddo could be read books all day long and be content.  I must include his newest obsession, MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE and the music that goes along with it, he's obsessed. 

  His 18 month well child visit went well, he finally gained some weight he is 23 pounds he had stayed at 21 for about six months so I am glad he has filled out a little more lately.  We went to the ENT last month and we let him know we had concerns about Ty's congestion, tonsils and sinus infections he had all fall.  ENT suggested we do a sleep study for apnea.  At first I thought this was a great idea, but now that he hasn't been sick for the past month and a half he sleeps wonderfully and is not  even snoring.  I really think his snoring was due to his sinus infections and congestion.  He has small ear lobes and small nostrils, things get stuck in there easily.  We are going to hold off on the sleep study until he is two, that way if he needs his tonsils and adenoids out it will all be less risky.  My momma gut tells me to wait and that he is fine and I over worry sometimes.  I know my kiddo and I want to do what is best for him and I feel waiting is best for now.   His big 18 month Kidney check up is coming up next month.  The dreaded kidney's.  We have heard about Ty having kidney issues since I was 20 weeks pregnant.  I pray that at this next visit they tell us all is well and they have cleared up.  If his kidneys are still retaining fluid he might have to have surgery and I am not thrilled :/.  Other then that he is a healthy, active toddler.   *Above are his 18 month and Christmas's pictures!  

  Today we had the Down syndrome Association of Western Michigan's Christmas Party.  It was wonderful, beautiful and I got to catch up with some of the best mommies I know.  I also got to meet up with the DS nurse, she is awesome,  I love her and I am so sad we didn't get a picture of her with Tyce :/ The party was at Frederick Meijer Gardens and Ty's nana and papa came with us too.  

Me and Angie I love this girl, really I do ;)

Yes, he thinks he's texting and he talks on the phone.

Night Night you all thank you for reading, leave me a comment if you like!

This little man is taking some steps in between us and he is standing alone a lot more.  In his time, but we are so proud of his strength, his new signs and the fact that he now says puhhh for his pipey and his newest word is ball.  I love you Tyce!  My pregnancy with this next one is getting better. I am thoroughly welcoming this second trimester. I can't wait to meet our next little man!
  

  Next month we move.  Next month I start an internship with the OAISD.  Next month the Lions go to the Play-offs (that was all TJ). Next month Ty has his big Kidney check up.  Next month we have our 20 week ultrasound for baby peanut number 2.  Next month Bo will finally have a nice big back yard to run in.  Next month we all start new endeavors.  We are feelin blessed! God you have never left us and we are feeling your love, you get us through anything, and make it all right!

Happy Holidays we LOVE you all and thank you so much for reading and caring even praying for our family!  May you all have a blessed Christmas and New 2012!
