Ty's birthday was last Wednesday the 18th. We enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes a treat we would not normally have for breakfast but it was his birthday. He was able to have calls from grandparents and great grandparents and most especially daddy. Daddy was able to call him at lunch and he enjoyed talking to him. Daddy also made sure he got Cars 2 in the mail from Netflix that day so that we had a fun movie to watch. We just had a chill day spent at home. He also got to have half of his presents from us which was a cowboy hat and an Elmo chair. We were shopping one day at Smith and Edward's and he saw the cowboy hat and wanted one. He is so in love with it. The Elmo chair was one my sister in law was getting rid of so I snagged it. He had no idea who Elmo was but seems to love the chair which is good.
We celebrated a second time on Sunday the 22nd. We had our family come over which included Kip and my immediate family and our parents and grandparents. We had a full house. We served dinner and cupcakes and brownies. We have amazing family support and we had a fun night. It was a very crazy night but Ty had fun and we enjoyed the good company of our family. Ty got lots of presents and has enjoyed playing with them all. One of his favorite is his farm. My mom and dad had the barn from when my brothers were younger and they weren't using it so I asked if we could give it to him. I picked up a bucket of farm animals from Target in December that came with 45 animals and it was only $7 on sale. It ended up being a really cheap birthday present but one that he LOVES. I am sure he will get good use out of it.
Things about Ty at 2 years old:
Loves to sing
Loves to dance
Loves to be read to if he is calm enough to listen
Can say his prayers
Sings the ABC's
Counts to 10
Knows his name, daddy and mommy's names and McKay's name (It's really entertaining to hear him say Christensen)
He has a lot of tantrums and sits on many time outs in the corner
He loves his brother McKay and gives him kisses and loves on him all day long
He is the only little guy in nursery in our ward and LOVES the attention from his teachers
He loves living with my family
He loves all of his grandparents
He loves his cousins
He is definitely an outside boy and is having a hard time understanding the need to stay inside
He is a fun little boy and we are glad he is in our family. We love you Ty!
P.S. These pictures were taken at the farm at my parents and around their house. It is so hard getting a 2 year old to hold still and smile. Add in Maggie our neighbors dog and then it's really hard to keep his attention. At least we should remember what age he is from the pictures.
