6 weeks old!

Wow!!! Ty is now 6 weeks... everyone has been telling me the time will fly and boy it sure is. He is such a blessing and the BEST gift from God! We are really enjoying him these days. Ty got to meet his great grand parents, Nana and Papa, my dad's parents. They were SOOO happy to meet him. We have a fun day out in Big Spring.

Nana just loved holding him and rocking him... she was a pro with him!

Here is his 5 week photo... yes in a UT outfit... we are just getting excited

for next year when Jaxon is there. He will make them better!!!! They need him bad!

And here is 6 Weeks!!! So cute!!!

We are so excited to be home for the holidays and be with family. Ty

has yet to meet his cousins Logan and Avery and Uncle Stan and Aunt Andrea,

but we hope to see them soon!!!!

Also I realized something last night.... If I was working this year, I would have been going back to work today and Ty would be @ day care right now.... AHHHHH I am sooooo Thankful the Lord has made it possible for me to stay home. Also thankful to my husband who works soo hard so Ty and I can have this time! I love him sooo much for that!!! God is SOOOO good! We are also soo thankful that God gave us a healthy and whole Ty!!! Until next time....

Justin and Alyson preparing for what will come... but not

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
