Aquarium

 

Ty and I went with Grandpa N to the aquarium. I forgot my camera so this is the only picture I could get with my bad phone camera. Ty loved to crawl around as fast as he could. I was chasing him all over the place. He liked the bright fish, the river otter, and the penguins. His vision is so poor that he could not see the fish that were slow or not brightly colored. Grandpa and I got to pet a shark and eel. 

Trafalga

 

We met some of Ty's cousins and Aunts at Trafalga this fall. It is a mini kiddie fun park.

Ty was in awe of the rides and all the kids running around.

 

 

Ty favorite thing was to try to get the attention of the people in line.

 

Cousin Elise

The boys got totally soaked!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Daddy

 

We had a small party at home because Clint was going on a hunting trip for his birthday.

 Ty loved the candles, but hated the cake! He just doesn't like sweets.

Halloween

 

 Trick-or-Treating with the cousins! Ty had so much fun looking at all the kids dressed up. He kept looking at us with big eyes of excitement.

 



 

We dressed up as the character from the disney movie "UP"

 

Our adorable Mr. Frederickson.

 

Aunt Krissy came up to go Trick-or-Treating. Sohpia was the girl from "Brave." Fits her personality perfectly!

 

Of course Grandma N has her annual halloween party. I never get pictures of the actual party happening because we are having so much fun.

 

 

She always go over the top!

 

Complete with fake hands in the food!

 

After we dipped "fancy" carmel apples.

 

We Love the Zoo

 

Daddy telling Ty all about bear hunting. Bad Daddy!

 

Sophie's beautiful fall bouquet. She worked hard to collect every big leaf in the Zoo.

 

The new baby giraffe!

 

Ty loves to crawl through tunnels so Sophie and Grant ran ahead of Ty and made tunnels for him. Ty got so worn out chasing them around he had to stop every few feet to rest on the cement. Just a FYI Ty WILL NOT wear socks. We realize our baby son in crawling around in November barefoot.

 

Sophie and Grant were great wagon pullers. Grant was the brakes to Sophies pulling.

 

 

Grant is soooo strong to be able to hold that chunk of baby love.

 

Ty was not a fan of the zoo carousel.

 

 

 

Fall



 

The thing he is holding so tightly is his teddy bear. It replaced his beloved friend Georgie. I knew he had finally accepted his new stuffed friend when he He started to bite his teddy's face (which is a kiss in Tys book).

 

 

Ty says "wheeee" everytime you take his wagon down something steep. Oh my goodness this picture reminds me this baby needs a haircut from Uncle Alex bad!

 

New Kitten

 

We haven't figured out a name yet, but she has a little peace sign on her face. Any suggestions?

He loved to pet his kitty.

 

Checking each other out.

Don't say the "W" Word

Our baby has a serious obsession with his wagon. He would prefer to be pulled around in it from morning till night. If you say "wagon" he starts to go crazy with excitement. So unless you are ready to take him for a ride you better not say the W word around our house.



 

With a face like that he can usually get someone to take him for a ride.

Helper

 

Ty wants to "help" you do everything now!

 

Is it helping if I take out the ones you load?

Recovering

 

 

Ty loved the wagon at the hospital so much we decided to get him one for home so we could lug him and his oxygen tank, and he could lay and rest if he needed to. It is pretty much all he has wanted to do ever since we got it.

 

Go faster!!

 

 

Whew.

 

 

 

Bummer Summer

 

Ty's big heart surgery was tough on him. He would only let Clint or I hold him after his surgery, so after holding him for about 36 hours strait they finally gave us a full sized bed so we could lay next to him. He was ok as long as you stayed right there with him. We all took turns. I am sure I have never been so tired in my whole life. None of us (including Ty) slept for more than a couple hours at a time for for the five days we were there. Whew it was rough.

 

 

 

 

 Ty trying to figure out how to use his feet to remove his sat monitor. He was sucessful in removing an IV with his feet. It was bloody.

 

Ty's precious Georgie. He loves Curious George. We promptly lost this toy after his hospital stay and are still in mourning over it.

 

 

Headed home!
