Ty's new toy

Ty has always been very good around babies. He doesn't have to be told to be soft or anything. He is just so sweet and loves to give babies kisses. I'm hoping that the doll we bought him a few weeks ago will help encourage that behavior. For a while I have been on Jason to let me buy Ty a doll and a stroller. I was finally able to come to an agreement with him about a doll. Its a baby cabbage patch kid. He LOVES this doll. He will hold him and rock him and give him loves all the time. Jason and Ty have named him "ya-ya." Well, about the stroller... Every stroller out there is pink or purple. I'm with Jason on this one. I don't want Ty have a blue doll and a pink and purple stroller. Well the other day we saw a couple of our neighbors with blue baby strollers! Apparently Build a Bear sells them so we went and bought one! Ty LOVES it! He will push that baby all day long! After I replace the batteries on the camera I am going to try and get video of him!

New Name

I changed the name of our blog because some friends of mine in our ward were telling me about freaks and creaps who can get stalker info with names and stuff. Now Im freaked out because since I left the Police Dept I no longer have the backing of officers. So if anyone has any cool new names for this blog we would appreciate them. Unless this one works. :)

Cute Ty on the playground

Depression...

Okay, so Im not really depressed. Im feeling slightly down about this blogging situation. I see a zillion blogs that are custom made with pictures and like scrapbook page templates and just all around cuteness. I want one but I have no idea how to make one. Sadness. I also am in desperate need of a name for our blog. Ciccotelli just isnt peppy enough. Help.

NO MORE SHOTS!

Ty is officially done with all of his immunizations until he is 4! We are all so very excited. Next time he gets a shot he will be at bribing age. :) Congrats Ty Jason!

18 months and growing...

Today was Ty's 18 month appointment with his pediatrician. I cant believe his next appt will be when he is two!
He is growing like a weed and developing perfectly! He is above average in many of the categories for his age. We are just so proud of our little over-acheiver! The funny thing is that we like to think we have a tough little guy. He can handle a fall off 3 metal stairs like a champ. He runs into a wall...nothing. He can face-plant on the cement and he's fine...but try to weigh and measure that kid and he has a coronary. I havent heard him scream that loud since the last time he had to be weighed and measured. I wouldnt exactly say it was funny but it was a little ironic that while he was hyperventilating during the easy part, when it came time to getting his two shots he was upset that we had to pin him but then sat up, nuzzled into my shoulder and just said "ouch." No screaming, no crying, nothing. :)

My Little Pillsbury Dough Boy

Today I decided to make some Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (that I got for all of .50 cents...go me). I hate opening those stupid pop package things. They freak me out. My mom thinks it stems back to a time when I was a child and I went grocery shopping with her. Apparently the car was very warm and on the way home one of those stupid things exploded sending me into a fit of despair, hysterics, and of course, fear. Anyway, I had Jason open it for me and then I set it on the table while I prepared the cookie sheet and a few other things for dinner. Although Ty was sitting in his booster seat and turned away from the table, I underestimated either the length of his arms or his strange "elastigirl" (see the incredibles) abilities because it the two seconds I had my back turned he had found himself fully satisfied eating the raw dough. I turned to the sound of him saying "Yum Yum." This is why my chemicals and cleaning stuff is on a shelf even I can hardly reach. And if you are wondering, he enjoyed them just as much when they were cooked.

More...

Ty has learned a new word...More. The great thing is that he isnt obnoxious when he says it. Its just cute. He has combined it with a few other words too. More num (nums is what he calls food). More up, more down, more out, etc. Its very cute to hear him say it. He also loves babies. My nephew Nash is the first baby I think he remembers and since we always showed him the baby and pictures of him by saying "nash" instead of baby, he uses Nash for every baby. On TV is "nash!" in chuch, "Nash!" and every baby he see's. Now if he see's more than one baby its "More Nash"

My kid is so cute!
