6 or 7

Last night, Ty woke up three times. The second time was because he was poopy. This is not an unusual occurrence because he likes to have a dry, clean diaper. I can't blame him. I changed his diaper which was very full and I was eager to get some rest because I had only slept for an hour and a half. To my surprise, he decided to poop again. This time, he got the diaper he was wearing and the new diaper underneath. So, I took a breath and changed him again. Not a moment later, he started pooping again. I waited for several minutes and even checked his tummy which was not hard, so I knew I was good to put on a final diaper and go back to bed. Well, this was not the end. After I put a new diaper on him, he managed to push out a little more. This continued until I had used about six or seven diapers. I literally lost count. It was almost a game. Ty was probably thinking, "How many diapers can I make my mommy change at one time in the middle of the night?" It was an exhausting night and I am still groggy because there was no time for a nap today. I hope he does better tonight.

Getting ready for church

Like father, like son

bath

Ty discovered his rubber ducky, which makes bath time so much fun.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

seven months

Ty is 7 months big and such a happy, cuddly baby. He makes a lot of faces, as you can see in this picture. He even has a similar hairstyle as his grandpa. Ty is getting a little better at sitting up, but still needs more practice. We have no complaints because we are proponents of delayed mobility. A visit from grammy and grandpa made this an extra special day. We love you Ty!

binki and rolling over

Ty is able to take his binki out of his mouth and put it back in properly, though he struggles on occasion. He really likes to chew on any part of the pacifier.

He rolled over this week from his back to his tummy, which means it will probably be a while before he can do it consistently. Once he learns that he can get around by rolling, I'm sure he will get into everything.

six poops & a drink

Saturday was the day of 6 poopy diapers; 4 of which were blowouts. It felt like we spent all day cleaning up Ty and his clothes. Oh, the joy of being parents. We have heard that some babies who are about to get teeth have more poopy diapers than usual. We are not sure if there is a correlation or if it's a coincidence, but last night we noticed Ty's bottom gums were swollen. Poor little guy!

We decided to see if Ty would drink from a sippy cup. He was able to hold onto it, but did not understand what he was supposed to do with the milk inside. We will have to try again when he is not so hungry.
