Happy Graduation cont...

My amazing little boy graduated from preschool today :( I can't believe he's officially going to be a Kindergartener! I am so proud of him and the progress he's made this year. He's grown so much! He is such a joy to me, and makes me laugh everyday. He's my biggest helper, and the best big brother any sister or baby brother could want. Congratulations my Ethan!

Happy Graduation

It's been the month of graduations here! Congratulations to my wonderful, beautiful, smart, dedicated...(could go on) Mother! She just graduated from nursing school and is a "real live" nurse (after she passes the NClax) with flying colors of course! She was lucky enough to have all of her children and almost all of her grandchildren there to witness the event! We are so proud of you. You are a great example to all of us! Here are some wonderful pictures of the events from the past weekends. Besides the graduation ceremonies we were able to enjoy a beautiful rainy day in Branson at SDC. Thanks to Ethan's prayers during the 1 1/2 hour drive to Branson, the rain stopped shortly after we arrived and we were able to enjoy short lines and cool weather.

At 4 months old, Ty is...

Rolling over both ways (when he feels like it)

Babbling, especially at 6:00 am EVERY morning

Becoming more of a mama's boy every day

Loves playing with toys

Getting very close to controlling what he grabs. He almost grabbed a cup out of my hand as I was putting it to my mouth.

I can't believe he is 4 months old already (actually 4 1/2 mo, because I am a procrastinator). He is such a sweet baby, although the most complicated one by far! I can't get enough of him, and I think if he DID happen to sleep through the night (I would be grateful, but I think I would miss him by morning)

Here is a video of him "talking" to his toys! Can't get enough of it!

Ty 4 months old and more!

I took Tyler in to the doctor a week and a half ago because I noticed some white patches on the insides of his cheeks and underneath his upper lip, and he had been refusing to eat off and on for about a week. He ended up having thrush (so glad I wasn't still nursing or I would have had it too), and the "cold" he had had for like 2 months was partly due to wheezing/asthma. So we had to start breathing treatments every 4 hours. He has dramatically improved, but we have realized that if he is outside for a long time he gets a lot worse. Allergy season is really bad right now, and I think that makes his asthma act worse. Poor guy! We are so glad that we have figured things out (for now!)

Ty with his mask on, I don't strap it to his face anymore because he goes berserk!

Ethan loves his favorite brother Ty!

The day Avery didn't get a nap, she never falls asleep easily. Here she is sleeping sitting up.

I walked into the room and these two were watching TV together and sweet Avery had her arm around her big brother!
