Can you tell Ty is our first born?

We hope we are as good at taking pictures and documenting Bib Dos' "firsts" as we are for our firstborn son, Ty! All our posts have been about Ty lately...we are having so much fun documenting his "firsts"!

Ty got his first haircut last night! He was getting a little shaggy over the ears, and Josh said he was growing a mullet in the back, so we decided to get him a little trim. I don't know how the hairdresser did it because Ty is such a wiggle worm, but she managed to trim him up good! She gave us the first few locks of hair as a memento. We are going to put it in his baby book! He looks so cute with his new "do"...like a little man!

BEFORE:

DURING: Ty was fascinated with the comb the hairdresser gave him!

AFTER: No more shag around the ears, and the mullet is gone!

In other news....

This is my first week of freedom! My daycare is officially closed, and I am loving it! I am now just a stay-at-home mommy, trying to enjoy my last few months with Ty before Bib Dos makes his grand entrance into the world. Josh is happy to have our house (and his non-stressed out wife) back. We are doing great, and are looking forward to lots more family time!

Ty is growing everyday and learning by leaps and bounds! I'm not sure he knows what to think about not having the daycare kids (and toys) around anymore. He likes having mommy's undivided attention again, but I think he misses having his "buddies" around to entertain and play with him! I will have to make sure to take him to lots of playgroups and play dates! He is so close to walking! He stands on his own now, and runs up and down the furniture...as long as he has something to hold onto. Any day now we expect him to just go for it without any help! He had his one year doctor's appointment this week, and it was a rough one! He had to get 2 shots in each leg, and then they even took a couple vials of blood to test him for anemia and lead poisoning. That was not fun for Ty OR Mommy! I had to hold the poor boy down while they stuck that needle in his arm. He took it like a champ, and he is all better now! Gosh it's hard to watch your baby in pain, though! He still only weighs 18 pounds, 10 ounces. We were hoping he'd be at the 20 lb. mark so we could switch his car seat around, but he fell short just a bit. We also discovered he wasn't tolerating cow's milk very well (had a bad rash all around his mouth and body) so we cut out all dairy, and are giving him soy milk. His rash cleared up instantly, and he seems to be doing fine with the soy milk! We decided to take the bottle completely away. No more bottles for Ty. We were worried about doing it, but he is taking it just fine! I am glad we are doing it now because he doesn't even realize it's gone! So, that is what's going on in Ty's world!
