And this was him tonight as, just like his mother, decided to sleep sideways. I had never seen it quite this dramatic however!! And you'll be glad to know that he got himself out of this predicament without any help from mommy of daddy.

The picture below is Ty's cousin in Myrtle Beach, Anika. The next picture is Ty in the cockpit of our flight home from there. He was all smiles while wearing the captain's hat!! If you look close...you can see the directions for how to get home on the steering wheel!! LOL.

So sorry!!


Hey Gang,
I know it's been a while since I last blogged...and a TON of new things have happened!! Where do I start? Well...for those of you who don't know..."pianobaby" #2 is on the way!! We are due Oct. 11th. Now...Ty was due on the 11th and he decided to wait until the 22nd, so who knows?!! But we are very happy and feel quite blessed.

Now...two weeks ago, April 1st, Ty decided that just laying there wasn't good enough. So he played his own "April Fools Joke" on us by crawling for the first time!! It was sooooo fantastic to see all the gears going and his little gross motor skills taking shape on the carpet. I was smiling from ear to ear. It was just a couple of shuffles at first, but by Sunday night he was crawling the entire "Great Room" which is over 35 feet!! He would take just a couple of breaks and get right back at it. What a surprise that Monday at babysitter Taha's house when she got to see it first hand.

Needless to say, all the "babyproofing" and gates for stairs had to be moved up on the "to do" list. Ty is just so curious...like all infants, I am sure. But when he started to gnaw on the poisonous plant...daddy got a little worried and sent that to Grandpa Bills!! We still can't get him to keep his hands out of the rubber tree plant pot, but all in all I think the house is fairly baby proof. Wish us luck.

Shortly after the crawling came Ty pulling himself up onto things. Boxes...giant toilet paper rolls from Sam's. The coffee table. Almost exclusively on his own. I have heard that some baby's take to walking very shortly after crawling, and Ty may be one of those...I don't know. Mommy's brother, Uncle Jeremy walked at nine months...so Ty had better get a move on quick if he's going to beat that. He turns 9 months on the 22nd of April!! It's gone by so fast.

We hope everyone had a great Easter. I am going to try and be better at updating this blog. It's fun...but it's really just for Ty when he grows up, hopefully he can have a decent diary of the times he could never remember. Take care and try to take care of each other.
