Easter Fun

We had a fun Easter weekend. Saturday we each woke up to an Easter basket.

How cute is little Ty! This was his very first Easter which made me very excited to do an Easter basket for him. As you can see he got a cute church outfit, a couple of toys, onesies, and socks-mostly needed things. It sure looked like he was happy about it though.

I got some candy in my basket and some much needed new tank tops. I had stretched all mine out while wearing them when I was pregnant so I got a few new ones. I was very happy about that.

Mike also got some candy and new running shoes and the money represent the money he is going to use to register for the half marathon he is going to do, hence the new running shoes. He is doing a really good job training for it. I am so proud of him.

I didn't take any more pictures the rest of the day (oops) but we then headed over to my sister Marci's house for an Easter egg hunt (which we ended up missing) so we just visited with each other. Then later that afternoon we went over to my sister Cassy's house for a barbeque with the McBrides, Mom and Dad, and Karli. We had a great time just being together. On Sunday we went to church and then joined the family for an Easter dinner at my parent’s house. Our whole family was there. It was nice because it had been a while since we had all been together. I am so grateful for family and to be able to reflect upon the Savior and his life, death, resurrection and atonement. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life.

Update on Tyson's Bedroom

So a couple of weeks ago I posted a picture of Tyson's wall that seemed a little bit blah. Well I made a sign for his room and here is the finished product. I am quite proud of myself for doing this project.

Before

After

Tyson is 3 months

Our baby Ty is growing so much and it seems like way too fast. He is 3 months today and I can't even describe how fast it has gone by. We weighed and measured him tonight. He weighs 13 pounds 4 ounces and is 25 inches tall. I took this picture a little bit earlier tonight. Isn't he just so cute. His smile just melts my heart.

Tyson's sleeping habits: We moved Tyson out of our room into his crib in his room a couple of weeks ago because he was sleeping quite well. He would sleep all night every so often and then just about a week ago he consistently has been sleeping all night long. We do a feeding around 10:00 pm give or take a half hour or so and he has been sleeping till about 7:00 am give or take a little bit. He is such a good little boy. I hope this sleeping pattern keeps up. It is quite nice.

Tyson's eating habits: I quit breastfeeding when Ty was about two months because I was having such a hard time with it. It was hard for me to quit but he has been doing so much better on the bottle. He drinks about 5 ounces at a feeding every 3 to 4 hours during the day. Since he has been on the formula it has made him a little bit constipated so I feel bad for the little guy but we have been given him some apple juice diluted with water which has seemed to help a little bit. That has been about the only drawback of the formula besides it being more expensive.

Tyson's Favorite things: Tyson just loves when we talk to him and play with him. He laughs and giggles. He still loves his binkie which is a plus for us. He will take the binkie out and hold it in his hand and then start crying. It is quite funny cause we think just stick it back in but obviously he can't. He has found his hands and loves to suck on them whether he is hungry or not. He loves to grab a hold of the bottle when we feed him and sometimes he will hold it himself for a couple of seconds. He loves to hold onto and feel his blankets though he does not have a favorite yet. He loves watching the TV. He loves the toy that he lays under with the toys hanging above him.

One thing that we try to do but is not his favorite is tummy time. We try and do it a little bit each day but he gets frustrated pretty quickly. Hopefully he will start to like it because I hear that tummy time is important. He is pretty good at holding up his head though.

He is our sweet little angel and we love him so much.
