Thanksgiving

I haven’t written in a while…to be honest, I forgot about our blog! But Thanksgiving was a lot of fun! Ty was the highlight, for sure! He met some new family members (well, he is new to them; they’re not new…) and got passed around! We would have taken lots of pictures but we forgot our digital camera. I couldn’t believe it! Luckily, disposable cameras still exist so we bought one and took lots of pictures. (After getting them developed though, I remembered why I love the “delete” option on my digital!) Let’s see…Ty is doing lots of new things! He’s five and a half months old now! He laughs when we tickle him (that’s mommy’s favorite thing), he rolls over both ways (but he still occassionally gets stuck on his back, like a turtle!), he’s eating mush (rice cereal, applesauce, bananas, peas, sweet potatoes, and sometimes carrots), and he loves to jump in his jumper! He said “dadadadada” and “blehblehblehblehbleh” a few times, and he is trying to scoot (but usually ends up going backwards!). He is starting to observe everything. My favorite thing he’s been doing is reaching up and touching my chin and face when I’m holding him! (Below, he’s touching daddy’s face). Oh, and he found his feet! He’s also a people person and very social! He always stops what he’s doing to listen to people talk and he’ll forgo a nap anytime so he can hang out! Sometimes when we’re out (shopping or running errands), I think he’ll fall asleep eventually, but I usually look down to see those eyes wide open–he is taking it all in!
