Walking, Pointing, Bottles and Food

Ty is quickly becoming a toddler and the process for his mom and I has been very enjoyable. He continues to be a very good boy and seems to listen pretty well, for the most part. He does like to test us from time to time but he certainly understands what the word "NO" means.

He has been taking baby steps and seems only days or at the very least weeks away from walking around the house full time. He tends to use an object to steady himself. It could be furniture, a wall or a toy, but he is getting the idea.

He is curious about everything and constantly points his index finger at everything and leaves out the cutest little "eh" sound as if to say "Look Mom!" It could be the cuckoo clock, the TV, something outside or just a toy on the floor but the finger is out and pointing at something!

As of last week, Ty no longer drinks his milk out of bottles. All milk and water is now consumed out of sippy cups. Mom was happy and sad at this development at the same time. Happy that he did not want the bottle on his own and sad that she could no longer give her baby boy a bottle before bed, something she loved so much.

However, this transition did not come without some tears. Ty seems to like one particular sippy cup for his morning milk and a completely different designed cup for his evening milk. If we try to give him his morning sippy cup in the evening, he throws a big tempter tantrum and will not

drink his milk until it is tranfered to the cup he likes. Once that is done, the tears are turned off and all is well.

Ty also has completely graduated from baby food and is eating adult/table food. He loves spaghetti as you can see in the photo! He also loves chicken, rice, mixed veggies and pizza. The new theme around the house has become "Mikey Likes It!" For those of you who may remember the old cereal commerical!

We do have a few videos to post and will be doing that very soon!
