Happy Birthday Tyson!

I can't believe Tyson turns 1 today! Time really flies! There are not words to describe what an amazing year this has been and how blessed we feel that God gave us our sweet boy!!

Here are some sweet pics Amy Johnson took. These are the pictures I used on Tyson's Birthday invitations.

How he has grown in a year!

April Happenings:)

What a great month this has been....busy as always but great. Tyson had been taking steps all of March but really started walking March 29th right at 11 months and after that it was history. He waddled around for about 2 weeks and then he took off! Now he is basically running everywhere. He is really trying to say more words. Of course "Daddy" is what he says most of the time but you can tell he trys to repeat you. We are having a blast. He will turn one on Friday! Wow, time flies!

Marc got to go to the Sunday round of the Masters so he came home with lots of little Master stuff for Tyson and bought him some plastic golf clubs. They have been practicing already! Poor Tyson:) On top of that they practice dribbling the soccer ball too. I hope Tyson likes sports:)

Just a fun Spring picture at my Nannie's house.

Easter- Of course we had to die Easter Eggs at least Marc and I had fun:) Next year Tyson will appreciate it more:) He wasn't much for looking for eggs. He had a lot more fun letting us bring the eggs to him and then he would play with them.

Easter Morning

We took Tyson to the Ole Miss vs. State game here in Jackson. He had a blast. He loved dancing to the music. Then we went to Super Bulldog Weekend. Here are a couple of pics of Tyson sporting his Baseball Jersey.

Just a sweet Pic I took at the Reservoir one afternoon.

Tyson's first Haircut!

Spring Break!!

I am so thankful to have the week off! I finally have time to sit down and update the blog:) Tyson is like the Energizer Bunny so he keeps us very busy. He is so much fun and goes full force! He is 10 months now and his favorite things are clapping and pointing. He points at everything. He says Ma ma and Da Da and lots of other things that we can't make out. He is also waying bye and hello now. He will try to wave with both hands. It is so cute! Most of the time he waves after the person leaves but we are still working on this. His mamaw practiced really hard with him when she kept him last week while he was sick. He is not walking yet. He has taken 2-3 steps a couple of times but still not really walking, but he is climbing, digging, exploring, etc..

Tyson like most of the kids around has had a nasty cold for a while and it finally got the best of him last week. I am so thankful for my sweet mom who came to the rescue so I did not have to miss work the week of the Writing test! By the way, I am very proud of my 4th grade class! I think they did a great job:)

I am so excited to have the week off to spend with Tyson. This last weekend Marc, Tyson and I went to Philly to celebrate my dad's birthday and then Tyson stayed with my parents and Marc and I went to New Orleans. It was a fun little get a way for us. I spent the first day of Spring break shopping with Mom and Tyson and then today Tyson and I picked up Marc for lunch and we took a trip to the zoo. Of course, he was not big enough to really enjoy it but we had fun. He did point at a lot of animals:)

Some of my favorite recent pics:)

I love this pic with his messy face! This is what happens when I let him eat a cookie:)

"Look Mom, grass!" Now he will put it in his mouth of course! I am so happy to have some pretty weather because Tyson loves outside! He has already learned to cry when I bring him in and shut the door!

9 months and Busy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Busy is the word most people use to describe Tyson these days and I would say they were correct! He is into everything!! He is walking really well when pushing his toys (I think they call this cruising) and he can stand by himself a little longer each day. We have started trying some table foods and he loves everything! He loves to eat! Finally at 9 months he is sleeping through the night! It took us a while but it has truly changed our house!

This is what happens when I try to take his picture. He runs away.

He loves to crawl under and over everything!

We had so much fun playing in the snow. Of course Tyson is not big enough to really enjoy it but Marc and I had fun:) I just wish we would get this much snow every year!

We just had our 9 months pics made by Amy Johnson. Go to this site and click on Client Proofing and password Tyson. The first pics are his 6 month pictures. The 9 month pics starts with the brown outfit with bulldozer on the front.

January happenings:)

Tyson is so much fun! He is very active and goes nonstop all day. He pulls up on everything he can and very easily now. He will even sometimes let go for a second and stand. He has figured out he can pull up on the tub and couch and walk down the side. The week we started back to school after Christmas, Tyson starting saying, "ma, ma, ma, ma." Now I am aware he does not know he is saying Mama but it sure does sound good:) I have been working really hard with him for a long time:)

My sweet man in his Dino PJs!

Ready for church in his Big Boy outfit!

Well after 6 weeks in a row of going to the doctor, Tyson got tubes on Tuesday, January 12th. He had been battling constant ear infections pretty much since October. Here is a picture of sweet Tyson before and after:) The surgery was quick and by later that afternoon he was great! He was babbling a lot more than before. However now he is not saying ,"ma, ma" as much but now more "b" sounds. Oh well:) I am just thankful to have him feeling better:)

Before- Bed head and taking his temp! How pitiful!

After- so tired! Resting with his dad!

Friday, January 15th Marc and I went to Steamboat Colorado and came back late Monday night. It was a quick weekend trip but so much fun. We went skiing, snowmobiling, played in the snow, swam in Hot Springs and actually got some great sleep too! Tyson spent the weekend with my parents in Philadelphia. Of course we missed Tyson so much and could not wait to see him Monday night but the trip was great!

Tyson went to his first soccer game to cheer on his Aunt Celeste and the Lady Bulldogs!

Happy New Year!

We had the best Christmas! I have loved having two weeks off with my sweet man. We have been in Philadelphia a lot with my family and spent Christmas Day with Marc's family. Tyson got lots of toys and fun things! Tyson has mastered pulling up now. He had pulled up a couple of times but now he is a pro. He is pulling up on everything he can. We have already had lots of nice bumps on the head.

Unfortunately, Tyson went to the Doctor again with his ears. This is our 6th week in a row to go to the doctor! Crazy!! I don't think I have been to the doctor 6 times in my life:) We have an appointment next week with an Ear doctor and I am sure he will end up getting tubes. Poor thing has had ear problems since October and because of this he really has a hard time sleeping at night.

On New Year's Eve for lunch some of my best friends came over with their little ones. We had a great time visiting and hanging out. Here are our sweet babies:)

Our small group came over New Year's Eve. Tyson decided to wake up at 11:30pm and would not go back to sleep so he got to join in the party:) Got to love the Bed Head:)

Tyson's First Christmas Pics:)

Merry Christmas!

I love the Holidays! We are having lots of fun around our house. Tyson is everywhere! Full speed crawling and into everything. I have never said, "No, No," so much in my life and it doesn't even help yet. Marc and I had a lot of fun Christmas shopping for Tyson the other night. He getting things like safety plugs, corner protectors for the coffee table and other exciting things! No, he of course is getting a couple of toys too! I know his favorite thing will be trying to eat the wrapping paper. One of his favorite toys right now is a plastic Solo cup. He will chase that cup all around the house. It is so funny!

Since my last post, Tyson has gotten his two bottom front teeth. We had alot happen in a week. Tyson started crawling, started sitting up by himself, pulled up on his bed so we had to lower it, and got two teeth. I feel like my sweet baby became a little boy in a couple of days!

Tyson loved Santa! He was laughing, playing with his beard and even tried to eat him:)

Tyson is ready to Hunt with Dad!

Can you tell Tyson loves Bath time?

My mom took pictures of us for our Christmas card and here are some of my favorites. We took most of these at my Nannie's house by the old barn.

Crawling just in time for the Christmas tree!

November has been a very busy month. Tyson had his 6 month check up and everything was great. He weighed 16 pounds and 14 ounces and 27 inches long. Tyson is sitting up really well now and still laughing and smiling all the time. Sleep however is a whole another story:) Since the ear infections and the time change Tyson is not sleeping great! He likes to get up a couple of times during the night and this makes mom and dad really tired! Luckily I have the best husband and we switch nights so at least we get sleep every other night. Hopefully this will pass soon and Tyson will learn what sleeping through the night means again:)

I am so thankful to have the week off! It is already off to a great start. Friday afternoon Tyson crawled for the first time and Marc and I were both here. It was so exciting. Now he is starting to really get into everything! Marc, Tyson and I had the best restful weekend and we really needed it! We stayed in our PJ's all day on Saturday!

My mom came in town yesterday and helped me decorate for Christmas. It looks great. I know it is a little early but so thankful that my mom came and put her creative touch on the house. Now we just have to get a tree! Don't think I can talk Marc into getting it this early:) He already thinks I am brainwashing Tyson by watching Christmas Movies on the Hallmark chanel in November ha!

We got our 6 month pics made by Amy Johnson...go to her site and check them out..

Here are a couple of pics I took of my sweet man:)

6 Months and Halloween:)

Tyson turned 6 months old last Friday! He is such a big boy now. He is starting to sit up by himself. He cannot crawl but can scoot backwards and twist and turn and will end up all over the floor. He is grabbing, pulling and into everything he can get his hands on....so much fun but so active:)

Look I can sit up:)

Poor thing has been sick for about 3 weeks with a cold and ear infection but is finally feeling better.

We had a fun Halloween. Halloween morning Marc and I did the YMCA 5K. Then we spent Halloween night with our friends Stacy and John David and their 1 month old John Wilder and Katie, Matt and Luke Humphreys.

October Fun:)

Wow! This has been a busy month already! Seems to be so much going on:) Tyson is such a little boy now! We went to the doctor yesterday because he has an ear infection...luckily it was minor. He weighs almost 17 pounds. He is so strong and active all the time! He can slide all over the floor. He is not crawling yet but will twist and turn until he gets what he wants. His sweet personality seems to get better and better everyday! He laughs and smiles constantly:)

Oct 2nd Tyson went to his first football game. We went to Philadelphia Homecoming to watch his big Cousin Makenzie cheer. He loved the game because there was so much to look at!

My Birthday was October 6th and thanks to Marc, Family,friends and my sweet class I had a great birthday week! It started with lunch with my family on Sunday, Tuesday-suprise party from kids, cupcakes sent to school from Marc's mom and sister, dinner with Marc and Tyson and Wednesday-dinner with Friends. I love birthday week! I seriously had 5 cakes! Everyone knows to me it is not a birthday without cake:)

Marc and Tyson did great on all my Birthday presents!

We took Tyson to his first MSU football game on Oct 10th. He went with us to cheer on the Bulldogs against Georgia. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun. Tyson did great all day. We watched the walk through, the drum line and tailgated. However, when we got in the stadium and everyone started cheering his sweet bottom lip came out and he started screaming. It was funny. He could not take the cowbells and screaming of the fans. If you have been to a MSU game this year I think you will agree it is Loud...even louder than the past--Great Atmosphere! He was fine when we moved and sat in front of the stadium on the cement area. I guess the cowbells in his ears was just a little much:)

So many new fun pics to share...I decided to just make a slide show:)
