A much needed update

Our Christmas tree-December 2010

We finally put up our Christmas tree. I loved it and although it's just a little dinky tree, it is fun to have up. Ty is going to be a trial to keep away from it this year but we will do our best.

Some things I want to remember about Ty at this age. He is now 10 months and coming close to 11 months. We love him so much and we are enjoying watching him learn new things. The more I am with him, the more sad I am that I miss so much during the day while I am at work. He does so many cute things and is learning new things every day.

He gives open mouth kisses
He can walk but chooses not to because he doesn't concentrate and gets to distracted
He loves frozen peas
He loves frozen raspberries
He loves drinking from a straw or regular cup
He has these crazy temper tantrumes
He can high five-not sure if my little brother Caleb taught him or if Kip did
He loves me to come play in his room with him and play toys
He crawls to me and says ma ma when I get home-Oh how I love this!
He is a pretty happy kid as long as he has what he wants
He gets into everything and is very busy
He has such a cute smile and laugh!
He sleeps through the night most nights in his bed but occasionally I have to let him cry until he goes back to sleep-I know I am such a mean mom!
He says Da Da
He is learning to waive bye bye

We love him so much and we are so grateful is a part of our family!

Frozen raspberries

As you can see his is our life right now and we are enjoying it. Can't wait to see him open Christmas presents this year!

Anybody got any good traditions they do in their family. I would like to hear about them.

Waiting anxiously

We are awaiting the arrival of our little one anxiously! I am trying to enjoy the little time we have left as just the 2 of us but I find myself really excited for the new baby. I feel a little more prepared now because the past few weeks I have been getting things ready for our little one. I haven't had any showers yet but I will be having one on Saturday and then one more the next Saturday which will be fun. I do have the basic stuff ready that I have and if it came today we would be good.

I am still working and I think I will work until I can't anymore. I have started my weekly appointments yesterday with the doctor and she said everything looks great! I am dilated to a 1 and the baby weighs 6 lbs 9 oz so it should be a good sized baby. The due date is still set for January 21st but we will see when it really decides to come. It may be early and it may be a little later.

We had an awesome Christmas this year and Kip surprised me with a lot of really fun things! Cassie my sister also got me a few things that made me really excited! Cassie surprised us with a ping pong table which Kip has been wanting for so long, she is so thoughtful! It was really fun this year to have her and Noah here with us! Noah brings so much joy into our home and we enjoy having them so much!
