He's been out as long as he was in. . .

Well the little guy is 9+ months old. . .he's officially been out about as long as he was in--WOW!  I can't believe how fast these past 9 months have gone.  I am absolutely loving life right now with my little babes...yah, I have a stressful day here and there and I still haven't figured out how to fit in working out (but I actually think I am close with that one--a few early mornings are in store and some Sunday morning bike rides w/ my neighbor hopefully) but my family makes me smile and giggle all the time and it just doesn't get much better than that.  I'm not gonna sugar coat anything--the first three months of Ty's life I was a wreck. . .I was trying to do waaaay too much, waaaay too quickly and with all the crazy hormones, whoa. . .sooo glad that is a thing of the past, lets just put it that way.  :)  

Ty wants to do everything his big sister does which means he will probably be walking before his first birthday!  He is already pulling himself up on things and walking down the length of the couch and behind the walker wagon (which you'll see in a video below). 

I love how low our front window is because the kiddos can look out no problem.  Ty is really trying to look at something. . .and maybe climb the wall too, I'm not sure.  :)  He likes to climb on me, his dad and his sister whenever he gets the chance.  That usually involves some scratching of the face and/or hair pulling.  Thankfully Abby thinks its kind of funny and doesn't get mad. . .most of the time. :)

Ty also always wants to play with anything his sister is playing with.  Abs hit her knee on the coffee table so I gave her a cold pack--clearly they both wanted it in their mouth more than she needed it on her knee.

Ty Buggy has 2 bottom teeth and one on top.  He loves to chomp on anything including grass and anything that might be on the floor which means I am constantly running around after Abigail to make sure there isn't a choking hazard on the floor!

He also loves to zerbert his food out of his mouth all over whoever is feeding him--ask Janice, she knows what I am talking about.  :)  We have to make sure to strap this boy in his high chair because he already acts like he is going to climb out. .. we never had to worry about that with Abs.  I seriously get a work out all day long with these two babes.  It's crazy but I love it.  They both have been doing so good with a babysitter too so it's so much easier for me to plan things--gosh, Zach and I had two date nights within like 4 days--uuuhh, that's more than we've had the last two years I think!  AND we're going to the Husky game on Saturday together with no kids--whoa!  Both babes are at such a fun age right now-I love it.

 

Ty had his 9 month check up on the 17th but I can't find his sheet with the stats.  :(  I think he was 35th percentile for weight and I wanna say like 70th for height.  So funny because I don't think of him as being tall but I do think of him as being a chunker munker and apparently he's the opposite.  HA  No shots this time so it was a pretty painless appointment.  We won't head back to the doc til he is 1 and Abs is 3.  Holy cow. . .

 

He is starting to really talk although the only word I have made out so far is dada. . .hmmn, I guess he is saving the best for last.  hee hee  I just love this guy to pieces. . .when I am putting him to bed and he is grabbing my hair or nose or trying to use my arm as a chew toy I start to giggle which makes him giggle so it ends up taking a little longer than it should. . .I try to hold it in but can't help myself--he is just so cute.

 

Here's a video to end with of Ty walking behind the walker wagon.  There is no sound for some reason but I kind of like it that way--reminds me of the videos of me and my siblings from when we were this age.  I so wanted to add comments in this post about Abigail but I told myself I was devoting this one to Ty Bug. . .she is the best big sis a brother could ask for though, that is for sure!  I love you baby boy.
