Big Boy!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Ty Ty!! Today Ty turned TWO! My how fast these two years have gone. I feel like now that Natalie is here he's grown even faster than normal. Maybe that's just my imagination, but his speech has improved so much, he understands pretty much everything that I tell him, he's playing with Myles a lot better, and he just looks bigger! Ty has developed such a personality and I have to say that I'm going to have a very difficult time saying no to him. Ty learned early from his daddy to use his eyes to get what he wants. If I ever get upset with Ty and try to tell him not to do something he answers with the typical "why" that most kids do at this age, but he also adds in a head tilt and smile making him look SO much more innocent than he really is. He has also taken on the task of reprimanding Myles if he thinks he needs it. He will often say "Myles sassing. Go to time out". Usually he's right too. :-) Then if he sees me looking at him as he is telling Myles this he just starts laughing. My biggest hope is that he will use all this charm for good and not evil. Only time will tell I guess.
Some current stats on Ty.....
Favorite Food: Yogurt and anything with pasta sauce
Sleep schedule: Early to bed and early to rise. Goes to bed at about 8:30 and is up by 7 am
Favorite Game: Taking toys from Myles and running away.
Favorite Tv Shows: Shaun the Sheep and Curios George
Loves to sleep with his blanket and bunny at night.
Greets his daddy when he gets home from work by yelling "Daddy" and running into his arms...Every day.
Rocks the spiked hair like no other little boy I have seen.
Is great at yelling at the cat to stay out of the house. ( I am quite proud of him for this one).
Has become quite fond of his little sister.
Can work an Ipad better than most adults.
Has a stubbornness to him that makes me smile. I am thinking he will not be a pushover when he gets older and I like that. 
He is going to grow up and make me proud for sure!!!
Here are some pictures from the last year. I was going to try to limit the amount to my "favorites" and I'm pretty sure I have way too many favorites so I'm just posting them all.

2 years ago we were anxiously waiting to meet our little man.



A FAVORITE spot for Ty. Getting dirty in the sandbox.
