Being One!

IM ONE!!!

Today my sweet boy turned one at 3:17... I can not believe that it has been a whole year. Looking back at all those silly pictures and how hard it has been. I can't help but tear up and wish we were all back to the begining. It really does all go way to fast. You know the country song "You're gonna miss this" well I already am. So as of today Ty-kell is crawling like a little torpedo... he does not yet walk, but some day he will. And when he does we all better watch out becuase he is going to be running. He has 6 teeth... 4 on top, and 2 on the bottom. He knows words like dad, mom, shoes, doctor, and just today he said his uncle's name Chad. He is such a happy boy, and his smiles warm my heart. He has a ton of curly turning blonde hair. His favorite things to do is pick at things, push buttons, and sharing. He is such a blessing in our life, and I am not ready for my sweet boy to grow up... but as the years go on he will so we will just enjoy these moments. Today for his birthday we took him to the zoo. He loves to look at all the animals.

The World's Most Famous...

The World's Most Famous sandwhich is of course PB&J. And Ty-kell finally got to partake of this ooie goodness. He thouroughly enjoyed every last bite!

This is my yummy sandwhich!

All done and very stuffed!

So...

So... I am not trying to be a slacker on my new resolution, but our camera has been out of batteries, and nothing seems "blog worthy". So I have decided to let a little insight on how I feel about being a mom. Last night was boys night, and I was home all alone. Laying there awake I was thinking about my boys. I thought even though it is hard (and on bad days I just want to ship my little boy off to the farthest away boarding school) being a mom. I still missed him a lot when he is gone. I really like being a mom but I wouldn't say that it is the funnest job in the world. Cleaning up the same mess day after day, and for some reason the laundry never changes, only during the week when it keeps getting higher and higher. But I know that this purpose is greater than me, and I am trying my hardest to enjoy the moments I have to teach Ty-kell all that he needs to know to be in this big world.

New July 4th resolution

So, I decided that for a 4th of July resolution I am going to keep up on my blog. I have gotten so far behind so I am going to update and then I am going to keep up on it. I take pictures so I can blog, but I always forget to blog. So here is a little update on what we have done. Ty-kell my all boy loves to help his grandpa do everything, and frankly I think it is more fun for grandpa. So our bathroom toliet started leaking, and my dad went in to fix it, and not even two minute later there was our son cleaning the tools, and helping grandpa fix a toliet. I am very greatful that we are here, and that my dad loves to teach my son all of the projects around the house. Yesterday he taught him how to clean the bathroom. Last sunday it was Mar-kell's birthday celbration. We all had a lot of fun. Tyrone and I made him a quilt. Later the girls were playing on the floor with Ty-kell and he thought they jacks that they were playing with was a great thing to stick in his mouth he looked adorable. My brother also came into town we went to the zoo, I don't have pictures because my computer is being theiveful. But Ty-kell got to feed the giraffes he thought that was so fun. Then on monday we went to the children's museaum on Monday because it is only a dollar until Labor day I think. It was so much fun. Ty-kell and his dad had a blast. It was fun watching him explore. We are bad parents and we didn't get any pictures of Ty-kell first 4th of July but it was a lot of good feastive food, and spending time with both grandparents. We also had a spa night... we all got pedicures facials and out eyebrows waxed it was a lot of fun. When Ty-kell gets hungry as you can see he helps himself.

Short and to the Point

So Ty-kell has learned how to point. He likes to point to show us what he wants. This is him pointing at pictures of dogs on the computer. He loves dogs. He has pointing down so well. Unfortunatly I am the one who taught him. I point at him when he is in trouble or being naughty, so the other night at dinner I was getting after him (I was pointing) and he pointed staight at me and screamed. I had to turn my head so he couldn't see me laugh at him.

Ty-kell was finally able to meet his Great-Great-Grandmother. He loved being with her. They played Patty-cake and sang songs. It was great to see five generations meet together. They were having so much fun that I couldn't get them both to look at the camera.

Ty-kell's New Room

So our little circus tent moved. We moved in with my parents until Tyrone finishes school, and my mom was so nice and let me decorate my old room for my baby. It turn out really cute. The pictures don't show it off great but you get the basic idea. The bathroom is not yet decorated. This is his reading corner.

This is his crib above is a train in vinyl.This is a train shadow box that Ty-kell's grampa Petty made for his daddy.

The overall look!
