2 1/2 weeks and go till 1 month.

Loves his daddy!! He is finally growing out of his

premie clothes so you will see some new outfits!!! YEAH!!!!

He is staying awake after feedings during the day,

so we are getting our play time in before the nap!!!!

Loves baths as long as the water is not cold!

Yes this is how we sleep... Dad woke up before us and

took a picture.

1 Month!!!

Ty,

It's hard to believe you are already 1 month. Your

dad and I can not believe how fast you are growing.

You are still a little man, but growing like a weed!

We are so in love with you and so thankful to our God

for putting you in our lives. You are such a wonderful baby. I

sure do hop your brothers and sisters will be easy like you!

It has been so much fun these past 4 weeks. Dad and I are learning

more and more about being parents and hope we are not letting

you down. You are so precious to us!

At one month you are now grabbing things (mom's hair and

burp cloths). Staying awake for at least an hour after your daytime

feedings. Eating every 3-4 hours in the daytime and 4-5 at night. You

make the cutest noises for about an hour before you wake to eat.

Still in newborn diapers and your premie clothes/smaller newborns.

We think you are about to be in all your newborn outfits!!! YEAH!!!

For the first week you wore premie diapers.

You took your first road trip to FW this weekend.

Dad and I are so grateful for you. God truly blessed our lives

by giving us you. We have had hard times, but you are worth

everything!!!! Life with you is only getting easier and easier!

We are really feeling great these days. I am still missing

my sleep, but it really has not bothered me, Praise the Lord,

b/c before you came I sleep 10 hours a night.

We love you so much!!!!!

-Mom

Settling in!!!!

We are finally setting in... or at least I feel that way now. Things seem easier and we are getting better at this mom and dad stuff. I know I told you I was doing a blog on breast feeding... but my husband suggested I did not do one on that subject. He told me there are psychos out there that might enjoy it a little too much. So I will respect him and just say a few words...

I will start by saying it is the hardest thing thru my whole pregnancy, birth and being at home. It is only getting better, and really is pretty great these days. The soreness is only getting better, and I am figuring out things I am doing wrong, and correct them to make things better! He is a champion eater, and I like it b/c he is eating away my weight!!! hahahah Also because there are sooooo many health benefits that come along with breast feeding. Ok thats enough....

Ty is 3 weeks old today!!! WOW... where does the time go?? It has been a blast. The first week was all about learning, and now these last two weeks we are starting to really feel like parents. We actually probably look like we somewhat know what we are doing. hahaha maybe!! Ty is (Thanks the Lord) a happy baby. He only cries when he needs to eat really. He does not seem to mind a dirty diaper... but don't worry Dan and I change his diaper ALLLLLLL the time. WE are going thru the diapers. I think we use about 15-18 in 24 hours. But they are always dirty when we change them. Ty LOVES to "shart", yep sure did just say that, as soon as he gets a new clean diaper on. Loves it!!!! He is growing so fast.... think he might be in his newborn clothes at a month... been in premie. Thats is why you might notice he wears the same thing all the time. I promise I wash his clothes. We did not want to buy a ton b/c we knew he would not have them for long... so I pretty much wash every night or every other.

Tink is doing great with him. She like to check on him and enjoys kissing his feet. Our doctor said it is good for Tink to do that. It helps Ty build his immunity (I think that is right).

Medical school update:

Dan has had 5 interviews @ TCOM in FW, Tech El Paso, Lubbock Tech, San Antoino, and A&M.

He has another one @ Southwestern coming up. So he will have had 6 interviews. I am so proud of him! God is so faithful. Dan has loved them all, so we will see where the Good Lord leads us.

Here are some recent videos of our little man!!!!!

Ok well I tried... but it wont let me upload my flip videos.... ANY IDEAS??? HELP!!!!!
