Ty Rocking Out

Sing Rainbow?

Life is so much fun.
Tyler is the light of our lives. He is HILARIOUS!
The other day we were up in his room playing drums. He was obviously the band director.
He was telling me what to play, the rhythm, the song we needed to play... It was either the ones he has made up, like 'Sola Ren', or 'We will rock you", So funny. Then Tim came home from work, and Tyler put him right to work with the guitar. It was hilarious...and here we are, a family band practice. It was a moment, let me tell you.

We have the best conversations. Tyler asks so many questions and he seems to really understand. He remembers everything.
Well somewhere, he learned how to "fly"...last night Tim was telling me that he jumped from our ottoman to the sofa and yelled "super hero!" I find myself constantly saying to myself "Dude, you are 2!"

I was working on some pictures of the latest family I shot, and we were going through the "daddy" and who the "mommy" was and he pointed to me and said "mommy" and pointed to the picture and said "different mommy"... I was like WOW! It is unreal how fast they learn.

Ty is just my best little buddy. Very loving, very polite. We have a nighttime ritual...the brush the teeth, prayers, and now the new song he loves me to sing is "Somewhere over the Rainbow" (kinda fitting, huh?) I usually have to sing it 2 or 3 times. The other night he stood up while I was singing and acting like he was rocking a solo on the guitar...needless to say, so hard to sing watching that. Then Sat. night I sang it one time, he stood up in his bed, and started clapping...saying "One more time"... That was the best standing ovation/encore of my entire life. He is just the love of my life....

We now have a sticker reward chart, and he is LOVING that. He cleans his toys, throws trash away, follows directions... We are so blessed...I hope it lasts!

Ty, Daddy and I went to the Zoo the other day again. It was amazing weather, and we just had the greatest time.

Tomorrow we are heading to Terrific Tots class again with Eleni, Gus, and Conner ;) They are cutest little posse!

Alrighty...better get some work done while naptime is in progess...actually he is singing right now.
Such a beautiful sound!

LOVES!

Summer is almost over...

...and Ty is getting SO big. He speaks in sentences now and 90% of his words are clear and not "babytalk". He says motorcycle perfectly and after watching motocross with daddy yesterday he went and got on his bike and started jumping over toys on the floor. Candace and I just looked at each other and simultaneously thought "uh oh, we are in trouble". He is such a little daredevil. We were walking down the steps the other day and he got to the 2nd step and jumped. I just had to laugh, but we try to teach him he can get hurt doing that. When we go places he is very personable and at playgroup Can told me he walks in the house and waves and says Hi, Hi, Hi to everyone then goes over and starts playing with the other kids. He asks me "how I'm doin'" and is the funniest and funnest little guy I've ever met in my life. He makes our world complete and I've come to realize that everything else in the world means nothing if I can't share it with him.

BUSY summer

Tyler is growing so so fast! Its hard to keep up...and we have been so busy. We got a Zoo membership and it is wonderful!
we have been like 6 or 7 times already. haha Last week we went with Ty's cousins Ellie and Adam and his Aunt Erin...the next day with his buddy Conner and Ms. Cappy (Cathi). We went today with his buddy Luke (Looouuuke) and his Mommy and Daddy...He loves it! I am sure we will be heading there again! We met Curious George at Barnes and Noble last friday. We took Auntie Alexis with us and met Conner and Gus there and their Mommies (Ms. Irene and Ms Cathi)...and we hit Chik Fil A after. It is so awesome to watch his friendships grow...holding hands with his cousins at the Zoo, or playing trains and going on adventures with Conner and Gus...to running and laughing with Luke. So much fun.

Ty is talking more and more everyday...and he is just such a funny kid. He literally make tears stream out of my eyes from laughter. I know it will only get better.

My fave thing with Ty...We have a Mommy and TyTy thing....
CUDDLES (CUDDOOLS) SO cute...
He curls up on me and it is the sweetest thing. He works it though and I eat it up. Tim will say, "Ok Ty, Time for night night"...and he will say "No, no, no, Mommy Cuddoools.." LOVE IT!

Anyway...working on more Disney...I have a few days left to do, and I will post the completed report.

Yucky rainy day...I think I might slap on Ty's rain boots that Aunt Sheryl gave him and go jump in some mud puddles. :) Unless the thunder hits.

Love to all!

DISNEY WORLD Day 1

Ty funnies and Disney!

Tyler is talking so much lately, I cannot keep up. Yesterday I asked if he wanted a lollypop..He said "I LOVE Lollypops...yes!" It was so cute.
He used to call a motorcycle a "coolcool", then he changed it to "oooh howelll" Don't know why, but it was adorable nonetheless...On the way home the other day, he was looking for motorcycles, so I said "Look Ty, and oooh howell" He exclaimed "MOTORCYCLE" and corrected me. It was so cute. He says it so clear and cute. I will have to videotape it and post it.
He loves Thomas trains now too...Aunt Erin and Uncle Pat gave Ty a train table for Christmas last year, and we were saving it for when tim finishes the playroom in the basement. He is very close, but Tyler loves train tables, so Tim set it up for him. He say "Thomas", but at first I thought he was saying "Dumba$$"..whew! Thank God it is just Thomas...Just like when he used to say Dinosaur, and it sounded like "a$$hole"...my dad was playing with Ty and growling like a dino and Ty said "A-saur"...My dad looked at me and said, "Did you hear what he just called me?" I said, "A Dinosaur?" haha Either way it is insulting...haha


Here is the third post for our wonderful vacation...Our first day in Disney!

Tornados and Trains

Hello Hello!
Been a while ;) So much has happened, one being a tornado hit in Fallston, right around my parents. Here is Tyler helping with the cleanup...


Ty's cousin Joey graduated from Marine boot camp. Congrats Joey, you make us proud.

We went to Aunt Meg's sister's shower yesterday...Lisa. It was wonderful! It was at Baldwin Station in Sykesville, MD...It was an old train station at one time. A couple trains ventured by...I asked Ty, "Did you see a train?" He looked at me and said "I saw two!" and held 2 fingers up. It was precious. He loved it, although it was real loud. He is really into Thomas Trains lately...When we got home, He said "TV, I watch Thomas, peeeese?" Tim and I just looked at each other, like HOLY COW! Here is a picture of him with the train..


Funny Tyler story...Ty does not like to be messy and he hates being sticky. He will even ask to have a bath...so the other day, we were eating dinner and he spilled something on himself, he says, "Crap, real nice!" Uh Oh! Of course after biting my lip, I explained to him that Crap was not a nice word...Oh Lord...haha

Well! I have finally started our Disney trip Report...Just click on the link below...I will keep posting links, so check back ;)

MELT...sigh...

So, sitting on the couch, singing songs...Ty reached over, caressed my hair and cheek and said "I love mommy"...

Rockin with Uncle Jordo

Today we ventured to a fiction 20 down acoustic band practice. Tyler LOVES music (I wonder why) and he rocked out today. Here are a couple pictures of his jam session.










He watched so intently in the beginning, he strummed along and sang.
He walked so proud carrying his guitar in its case.
When Uncle Jordo and Todd were finished playing, he threw his arms in the air and said "rock n rolllll" .










...more picts coming soon!

THE ZOO and Adventures in Potty Training

THE ZOO!
Tyler LOVES animals, so we joined the Zoo...haha we got a membership and have been 3 times already. He LOVES it!

First time we took Auntie Alexis who smashed her finger in the door...ouch...after the blood and ice, she didnt want ot let Ty down, so pain and all, she said lets go! (I think she will still lose the nail, it was bad). So we head inside, ride the little tram and head down the path. Ty was loving it! The next time, I braved it alone...it was a HOT day, but Tyler was so wonderful. It was a great Mommy and Me day, or TyTy and mommy day...there will be lots more of those...So Tyler had his first adventures with the Dippin Dots...

We went again last Sat, and we took daddy this time. They had a festival going on with belly dancers, and a Japanese dance show with a dragon and drums...ahh, yes drums! Ty's fave! We walked around and I took lots of pictures...

Tyler was totally into the Rhinos this time...haha I guess we missed them the last couple times...he was facinated. Notice TyTy's hair...Baby Mohawk! I call it the Tyhawk...so cute, and he is so proud of it. haha










Adventures in Potty Training...


Oh good Lord! It is not easy, haha but Tyler has mentioned 'poopies' to me a couple times, then started the production grunt, so we figured it was time. We have had some lucky moments in the last few months where he tinkled and was able to wave bye bye to his poopies, but now...here is the real training...
Where he is starting to understand...
Tim and I took him to Target to let him pick out his potty chair, we bought Elmo's Potty Time, and let him pick out his new pull-ups...Diego pull-ups it is...So we head home. We are currently on day 3. He sits on his little throne, but nothing yet.
Yesterday, I let Ty run around naked, without the pull-up...(I have heard of that technique, where you let them run and 3 day later they are potty-trained)...about an hour later, after running free as a bird all around the house he goes and gets his pull-up...starts to try to put it on and I asked him...'Ty, what are you doing" he looked at me and said " I want diaper on" so...there goes that technique..at least for now, haha.
Here is our little drummer boy...He is playing the song "brown girl in the ring" (a childrens game in Jamaica) by the Wiggles, He LOVES it! Here he is rocking out...Cheers...or as Ty now says "peace out" while giving the peace sign...(Thanks Uncle Jordo)haha

Happy Birthday!

So our little sweetie is 2!!! Can you believe it! We have had a busy week! On his birthday (the 8th) Tyler, his daddy and mommy went to Port Discovery. He had a BLAST! He loved all the different activities..it was cool. THEN it was off to celebrate our little rockstar at Hard Rock Cafe. He kept his cool shades on and rocked the whole time. They yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER for the whole restaurant to hear and he ate it up! After that we headed home to attempt a nap...but since he had a little one in the car, it didn't last. We ended up at Chili's for dinner with Poppy, Mom-mom and Auntie...He LOVED his ice cream. ;) So it was off to bed, for the next day was his party! He had a Curious George Party...Mommy made him a cake, but also had one made with the picture shown here. Such a 'cool dude'! He had such a great party with all of our family and friends! Thank you to everyone for coming!

We head to the Dr. for Tyler's 2nd year appointment...I cannot believe its been 2 years!

Cute story...last night, I was putting Ty to bed and I hugged him...I said "I love you so very much" He looked at me and said, so sincerely, "Thank you!"

So, more to come...and pictures! The video section has been updated with Ty's guitar playing!

Love!

Wow, Ty is two tomorrow

I can't believe that the last 2 years of my life have been blessed the way it has. This little guy has so much spunk and charisma and charm and is just so amazing. He likes to hang out with his daddy and help me work on my bikes and in the garage and around the house. When I'm outside cutting the grass he goes and grabs his bubble mower and mimics what I'm doing. Ty can count to twenty, he can play We Will Rock You on drums along with AL's ROXX YA, he knows his colors and a whole lot of animals. His favorite thing is to sing and play guitar. He absolutely LOVES to sing and he strums along as he makes songs up or finishes parts of other songs.

I love you little Tyler. I hope you have the happiest birthday you could possibly have!

I love you Candace!

You BOTH have made my life complete.

Love,

Daddy T

Ty is almost 2!!!!

I cannot believe it! Everyone always says that "they grow so fast" but good LORD! He is learning so quickly now...we seriously have to watch what we say. haha He LOVES Curious George, so now we are having a Curious George party...His current fave, although he loves Mickey, Wiggles, Dinosaurs, Cars, Backyardigans, and music...he chose "George"...it is very fitting, because our little money is quite curious, climbs on everything and LOVES bananas...haha Yesterday, I caught him making his own obstacle course with the sofa cusions, his backyardigans chair, his desk and bins we put his toys in. It was fun to watch, but I was a nervous wreck...I helped him make a "safer" course.

I love being a Mommy ;)

I am so blessed and so in love. Tim and Tyler are so precious. My 2nd Mommy's day! There is not a minute that goes by that I don't count my blessings. Ty and Tim made me a special breakfast, and I was woken up with the cutest "Mommy, wake up"...The sweetest words...
Thank you to my LOVES!

Happy Mommy's Day Candace!

Today is Mother's day. Ty and daddy woke mommy up with breakfast and eggs shaped like a heart. For Mommy's day, we bought Candace a new camera so she can continue to take awesome pictures of TyTy. She loved it and was very surprised.

We love you Candace, have a great day!!!

Love Ty and Daddy.

Sentences...So cute!

Sweet TyTy is putting words together. Today, already...he said "I eat...Eggs?" He asked for eggs for breakfast. Then I was working on resizing some pictures in photoshop and he was sitting next to me watching. He said, "Awww, Tyler face, I Cute." The other day, Tim came home from work and was being silly with Ty, and he said to Tim, "You funny". Sigh....I guess we gotta REALLY watch what we say! haha

I cannot believe he is gonna be 2 in a month!!! Here is a picture of our baby growing up WAY too fast!!!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AUNT ERIN!! We love you!

All better!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Ty battled this virus all week, and he was quite the little trooper. Here is a little pict show for you!

Please say a prayer...

Our sweet Tyler spent the evening in the ER last night. He has had a fever of 105 and it has been tough to keep down. He has a virus, so antibiotics will not help him...It has to run its course...it is so heartbreaking. He is such a little trooper. He had to have an IV put in to draw blood, X-rays...and so on...They were amazed at his temperment with such a high fever. Please pray that the fever breaks soon and he can get back to playing outside.
Thank you...
Love,
Ty's Mommy and Daddy

Tyler - 22 months already!

Can you believe how fast Tyler is growing up! I cannot keep up at all! we all have been sick for a while now...its gotten us good, but we had our first day out today. We went to music class with Ty's friends and then to the park. I am so happy that the weather is warming up again. beautiful 70 degrees!
Ty is talking so much more lately, and he sings songs so well, he picks them up pretty fast. It is the most beautiful sound in the world...my baby's voice. Sigh...
My baby is becoming a little boy....
