My little boys





Ty absolutely loves being outside. If someone says they are going outside he immediately says, "I go" "I come". He loves to get the eggs from the chickens with Grandpa, Caleb or Cache. He loves to play in the sand with Crystal. He loves walks with mom and McKay to see the horses. He loves picking apples from Grandma and Grandpa's apple tree. He loves the park and he is going to be devastated when it is to cold to go outside every day.

I am always amazed at how much he learns and the milestones he reaches. That is one of my favorite parts of being a mom is seeing what he learns and how much he grows. It is also one of the hard parts about being a mom is to see the mistakes he makes and learns from and I am sure it will only get harder as they grow up. He has been really cute lately. Some of the things he does that I want to remember about him at 21 months are:

He will run and get a blanket and say, "I freezing mom!"
When he counts he says, "1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10!"
When you ask him what his name is he says, "Ty, Ty"
When you ask him how old he is he will tell you 1 and hold up his finger but sometimes he says 2
When you ask him what McKay's name is he says, "Baby Brother!"
He loves nursery
He loves all his grandpa's and grandma's, aunts and uncles and cousins but especially loves Crystal, Cache and Noah
When you ask him who's boy he is he says, "Noah's boy"
He copies everything you say
He loves to sing songs
He is now sleeping in his own bed but occasionally coming in mom's and dad's at some point during the night
If he can't find McKay he says, "Where is McKay?"
He doesn't like it when McKay is crying and will get his paci and give it to him
When dad wakes up on Saturdays and Sundays Ty will say, "Morning dad!"
He loves to read the children's book of mormon
He just started saying the prayers at dinner

I am loving this age because he is really learning a lot. It makes me happy and sad at the same time to see how big he is getting. I never can believe how fast time flies.

McKay is still small to me but is starting to smile when you talk to him and seems to be growing so fast. He loves to eat and loves to be held. He really likes to be snuggled and warm. He is sleeping about 5-6 hours at night but will have an occasional bad night once in awhile where he will want to eat every 2 hours. He is really been fun for us.
