Disney Trip Report begins



In Florida...Day2

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 ;)

Disney Trip Report begins

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....

Life is SO good....

Tyler just amazes us every single day. From blaming daddy for having the stinky diaper to knowing every single thing we are saying and having an opinion on stuff, it's just amazing. I'll be like "Ty do you like this?" and he'll say "no" or "yes" and its just SO cool. Like Can said he is singing every single song he hears. He knows the words to all the songs. The other day we were in the car and we heard him singing his lullabye in the backseat without any help. It was so cool. He even sings songs in Spanish. He says elephant and giraffe and so many other words its hard to keep up these days. He says complete sentences and is just the smartest little guy. He wants to be just like daddy. He rides his tricycle around the kitchen so fast and lifts the front wheel off the ground cause he watches Motocross with daddy and thats what they do. He knows how to pedal his tricycle and is just SO fast on his blue razor scooter. The other day we were wrestling (he's SUCH a boy) and he stepped on daddy's plastic cup and I said go put this on the counter and come back and we'll finish wrestling. He ran RIGHT over with the cup, put it on the counter and came back to wrestle. It was so cool. I was doing something else another day and said here give this menu to mommy and I'll be right over. He took it and went over to Can and handed it to her and I just thought that was the coolest thing. He likes to work on daddy's bike with him. I just bought a gas powered power washer for my bike and the deck and house and he was outside with me spraying the house and washing the cars. Very cool....

Ok, I'm babbling....

Go-Go-Go-Go...

Here is a pict of Tyler with his hip hop frog that he got for his first birthday. It sings 50 Cents song 'In da club'...It he beginning he sings right along with 'go, go, go, ... go shorty its your birthday...and so on" , When its over he says "Again, peass" Awwww..how can I resist. So polite. Then he brings out his various music instruments...currently its the bongo drum and he plays along...but he used the guitar this morning, and his little keyboard. he has been rocking our all day. Just precious!
We are stuck inside again today as Ty and I don't feel so well...I unfortunately lost my voice...BIG FUN..."

Here is a picture of the family in Epcot that our friends Denise and Kevin took. They will be a part of the trip report when I finish it. they live very close to Disney...lucky ducks ;) They are amazing people and it was so good to spend some time with them.



I should have an installment soon on our Disney trip! I took over 900 pictures!

Take care!
Love,
C

Wow, French Toast!

Nothing makes a Mommy feel better than when your child loves your cookin! I asked Ty this morning if he would like Mommy to make him some french toast. He says, "yes" Then runs to the kitchen saying "Ahhhhh, french toast, french toast"...whenever I would give it to him in the past, we use the high chair...he ran right over to it and tried to climb into it. Sooo cute! So when it was ready, I set him all up and he says.."What's that, french toast, WOW...cool"...Lets just say...MADE MY DAY!

He is growing so very fast, I can't stand it! haha, He has started using words together...sentences, and singing more words in songs. He is even using some spanish, which amazes me! When you teach him something once and he seems to get it. I guess now is the time when the little ones are sponges and absorb everything. He counts everything...to 10 (sometimes 12), when he plays his drums he does (1,2,3,4, 1,2, 3,4) to the beat...he plays songs to the beat too...his faves are jingle bells (with an accent cymbal hit on HEY) and The Monkey Dance.

Sigh...so very fast...21 months old already...DO you all remember when I was pregnant for what seemed like 3 years! haha

Happy Birthday a day early to Uncle Jordo!

I am still working on our trip report...so much to take it and remember! SUCH a good time! We cannot wait to go back!
I will leave you with a cute picture!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

This is a picture of a picture that we got from the luau at the Poly. Little family portrait action for ya!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! You all know how much I love this day! I made little shamrock cupcakes...so cute!



We had a fantastic time in Disney...I am gonna post a bunch of pictures and stories! There is so much, I don't know where to start!!!



Ty is growing so fast and learning so much. He is saying sentences and really telling us what he wants and needs. He is such a little sweetheart. The other day he was watching the Wiggles...there was a slow song playing, lullabye of some sort and he came over to me and said 'dance' and took my hands and started rocking back and forth to the music. It was the sweetest moment. My little love!

And I want to say Happy Anniversary to my Timmy! 10 years! I love you!!!
