Happy Easter & 6 Month Checkup News

First off, Ty along with Lori and I would like to send everyone Spring Time Warmth and Happy Easter wishes! It is that time of the year where we see snow in the morning and 60 degree temps by late afternoon... oh the joy of south central PA weather! :-) Come on warm weather!

As mentioned in the last post, we went to see Nan Smith and the Easter Bunny at the Candy Store. For the most part it went well. Ty was a little unsure of the bunny and was not willing to smile but was good enough for us to snap a few pics.

Ty now says "Ba" on a routine basis. We have no idea what it means, but he loves to say it and he loves when mom and dad say it too. It is fun to hear him talk and babble as if he were carrying on a conversation with us.

Ty had his 6 month check up today and everything seems to be going great. He measured out at 26 1/2 inches long (50 percentile) and 16 lbs 9.5 ounces (25-50 percentile). Doctor Colli was very happy with Ty's progress and his playfulness. Ty was not too happy with the nurse who gave him 3 shots of meds in the leg. He cried for a few minutes and then was pretty much OK.

We are definitely ready for our trip to Myrtle Beach and our visit with the Kipe & Keyser Families next week. For our sake and Ty's, we have decided to pull an all-nighter and drive throughout the night. We are leaving for South Carolina Tuesday night and will leave to come home the following Monday night. We figured that it would be a lot easier on everyone if Ty could just sleep (we are hoping) throughout the trip. If we leave around 8 PM on Tuesday evening, we should make it to our destination around 5 or 6 AM without issue.

If mother nature cooperates I hope to post a few pics of Ty relaxing on the beach next week!
