Welcome
This blog was created in order for me to brag about my perfect son. :) A lot of friends and family members are not close enough to see Tyson everyday so I update this blog every few days [if not more] in order for all of you to "watch" him grow and keep up with his learning and accomplishments. Hope you enjoy!!
Your 2 Year Old
Two-year-olds give the biggest hugs, flash the biggest smiles, and yes, throw the loudest, most spectacular tantrums. Because they live in the moment, their feelings are especially transparent. It's tempting to want to keep things happy for your child at all times. But it's also important for her to experience emotions like sadness, frustration, and anger without always being "rescued" by Mom or Dad, so she can learn to cope better with small setbacks.
So I was changing his diaper and of course his ability to now move as I do so sometimes leads to him turning over quickly and making a mad dash with no diaper. Never thought this day would come. Can't help but to think it's funny and adorable [except when its poo poo]. Well now we've discovered that he can CLIMB...up horses! Well I thought it was a perfect time to have a photo opp. Of course I gotta have the pictures to show all his friends and his girlfriend when he gets older. So enjoy his little big booty like I get to.
I was eating a popsicle and he just grabbed it out of my mouth and I could hardly get it back. Luckily it was sugar free b/c it was night time and who knows what the sugar would have done for him. He was acting like he knew how to eat it too! so funny. when it was finished his mouth and tounge was all blue. So cute. I'll have to get him some pedipops for the future.

I think it's love!
So this last week we went to LA to visit Justin and his family because we hadn't been since Thanksgiving. We got to see a bunch of family and friends. When we got into town Grandma Stacey, Grandpa Neal and Justin were all waiting to see us. We had a good flight and luckily got a row to ourselves because Tyson was all over the place. I can see the bigger he gets the more difficult it's going to be to fly with him. He just wants to climb all over. It was so cute though as we were landing he was looking out the window with a big smile on his face at all the light of the city. We went out to dinner for Neal's birthday with Tyson's grandparents, great-grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunt, and of course daddy.
Since Tyson has been afraid of the tub lately, Justin took the opportunity to get in the tub with him. He's been getting a lot better especially since the swim lesson but it's like he still needs someone there so he doesnt get hysterical. It was a cute kodak moment to catch pictures of them taking a bath together though.
The next day Tyson's friend Damien came over to play. They are sooooo cute together. They were matching in plaid. Damien is almost two and really has hardly gotten the chance toplay with Tyson so it was cute to see them interact. I can't wait to see them as they get older and show them these pictures. I know they'll be friends forever. It's so cute he already has a best friend!
We then had dinner again with all the family for one last time before we left and finally got to exchange some presents left over from the holidays. It was nice to see everyone again. I always feel so welcome when I go. We'll be back down in March so can't wait to see everyone again.
After Tyson was showered with cards and candy from his daycare buddies he asked Charlie to be his Valentine! how cute
So my friend Katie works at the Swim Acedemy in Dublin and she's been begging me to bring Tyson there since he turned 6 months to a tiny tots class. I've been interested the entire time but never got a chance to bring him until today. Lately he has been really scared of taking a bath so I was curious to see how he would do in the pool. We arrived and when we first got in he was really scared. Wouldnt let go of me. Then as we continued to do the activities he got more and more comfotable. I think watching the other babies helped as well.
Normally they put the babies under water but since it was his first time they took it slow with him. We got him to go down to his chin. Then we practiced grabbing on to the side of the pool. The instructor said that we want the babies to learn how to grab on the side of the pool so if they ever fall in the pool they know to swim right to the edge. We always practices float on the back and going to the stairs and coming to mommy. The other babies were going under water and swimming to the instructor and kicking and splashing and some were younger then Tyson. Next time, he'll probably be ready to go under water. By the time the class was over Tyson was splashing and playing and didnt want to get out. Now we gotta try the bathtub and see if he'll enjoy it again.
