6 Months Young, Likes/Dislikes & Fun Times

Tomorrow Ty will celebrate his 6 month birthday! Lori and I have been so amazed at how fast time flies and especially these last 6 months! During that time Ty has been such a joy in our lives and has changed so much. We have truly been blessed with a fine little boy.



Throughout the past 6 months, Ty certainly has developed some likes and some dislikes. Here are just a few of each!

Dislikes:

- Vacuum Cleaner - screams at the top of his lungs at the sound
- Tummy Time - he does it but not for long
- Drying his Hair and clothes over his head - especially before bedtime
- Waiting too long to be fed - when this little guy wants a bottle, he wants it now!
- End of his bottle - when his bottle is empty, occasionally we get a little upset!
- Staying in one position/place for too long - wants a different view so very often

Likes:

- Itzy Bitzy Spider - he loves it and smiles or laughs every time
- Changing Table - still one of the best places in the evening before bedtime
- Being Nosey - always wants to see what that noise was or who is talking
- Walks with Mommy - enjoys getting some fresh air and having mommy do all the work
- Attention - wants to be held, carried or played with constantly
- Being Scared - never saw a baby like to be scared, but he smiles and laughs every time

Within the last few weeks Ty has began to recognize his name and look at anyone who calls his name. Normally he looks and ackowledges with a smile or grin. :-)

Lori is certainly enjoying her new life at home with Ty and is doing a great job. She has also take Ty on a few shopping excursions and visits with family and friends, pretty much without incident and with Ty being a good little boy.

This past week, we purchased two new items for Ty, an Excersaucer and a Jogging Stroller. Needless to say, Ty loves his excersaucer. He seems to love all the toys on it and seems to enjoy pressing the many buttons as well! :-)

Lori and Ty have not yet used the stroller but I am sure when the weather turns warm, it will be used daily! With the rubber, bike like tires, I am sure it will be much easier to push on the road.

Ty is eating well, he loves most of the first foods with the exception of carrots. He's not too keen on those! But overall, he loves his fruit and veggies! We are excited to see how much he has grown since his last doctor's visit back in February.

Fun times are ahead in the next month. On April 9th, Ty will have his 6 month checkup where I am sure more immunizations await. A joy for any child at any age!

On April 15th, we take a week long trip to Myrtle Beach to visit the Kipe Family and see Ty enjoy his first beach experience. The past few weeks we have been preparing by purchasing some summer clothes for Ty... as you can see, he is going to be one cool dude at the beach!
