What's so funny?

Now he's happy in Tim's lap

Old Videos

I'm catching up on our old videos...Check out Ty in his bear outfit. I just like the bear jacket because of the ears on the hood.

Check out the teeth

Ty on the move

I am finally getting caught up on Ty videos...it's too much like getting film developed. I'm starting with most recent stuff. Remember that I'm no Felini, though...I have no skills.

Is this supposed to be fun?

Weird playground object...

For the Grandmothers

Yes, I know it has been almost a week since I posted non-cell phone pictures...lots of running around over here. More updates later, but click on the pictures to get to all of the pictures at Flickr from the last week. Yes, he is now the big T...for Trouble that is. Crawling, standing, biting with his sharp little teeth. He understands the word, "No", but just smirks and keeps on trucking. Who does that sound like?

Ty's friend, Sonya

This is Ty's friend, Sonya...she is two weeks older than Ty and the daughter of our friend, Devora. We've been doing a baby "swap" so that we can take turns running errands and working out. It's great...mostly because Sonya is the happiest and easiest baby ever!

He's obviously being held hostage, right?

What are you looking at?

Ty at Lunch

Just a short clip of Ty at lunch...trying to grab our plates and blowing strawberries!

Nothing too exciting...

Ty and I seemed busy this week, but I don't exactly know what we did. We drove my friend, Sharon, and her baby, Maya to the airport today. It's always fun loading up two babies in the car.

Ty pretty much refuses to wear hats these days. But, we have him temporarily outsmarted. He hasn't figured out how to take off the hat from a hoodie. I'm sure he'll figure it out next week and then I'll just have to worry about him being cold.

We've had a local tragedy...a tanker hit the Bay Bridge and spilled 58,000 gallons of oil in the Bay. It's affecting every beach in the area (some of our favorite places like Crissy Field) and hurting lots of the wildlife. My friend, Anne, just posted on her blog about it at http://annetics.blogspot.com/2007/11/breaks-my-heart.html

She has some great links to articles and pictures on a google map, also.

Moving & Growing

I totally forgot to post. Ty now has four teeth. He got his top right tooth in first. I was shocked at how big it was. He obviously didn't get his teeth from me...his baby teeth look bigger than mine now! Also, you may notice a few bruises on Ty. He is trying very hard to stand up by holding on to the sharpest possible objects in our house. And, he took a hard wack on our TV table. And, then in bad parent form, I turned my back on Ty while he was sitting on the bed. By the time I saw him launching off of the bed, I couldn't catch him fast enough. I may be forever traumatized, but I'm so thankful that we have a platform bed, which means that we don't have box springs and the bed is sort of lower to the ground.

Now, I have to watch the little guy's every move...he just moves too quickly now!

Catching Up...

We are back in cyberspace! I got my computer back and am back in business. But, I'm trying very hard to limit my amount of online time. It's too easy to procrastinate all of my chores!

I'm not sure what has really happened the last few weeks. Ty is into everything. He especially wants anything with an electric cord and anything electronic. He is my son, after all.

Ty dressed as a "Tyger" for Halloween. Tim and I went as zookeepers (of course). It wasn't much in the way of costumes, but I did get patches and shirts from the San Francisco zoo. Hence, the pictures of goats in Fickr.
