More SF Rain

We are tired of the SF rain. We had about a week of good weather, but the rain is back. I'm hoping we'll be done with all of it soon. Staying cooped up inside is just not as fun. What's going on here? Well, Ty has sprouted his seventh tooth. Based on the amount of drool, I'd say he's working on #8, also. I started working a few more consulting hours each week, so Ty has a babysitter two mornings a week. The babysitter is very nice and is a nursing student...but, I don't know how much I like dressing up like an adult again and going to client meetings. :>

In the glimpse of good weather we hit up a few short hikes down near Half Moon Bay. More fun time with Ty in the backup. He loves it, but he likes to pull my hair. Ow!

Ty seems to be eating everything in sight. He isn't gaining any weight because he goes wild all day, but he is the bottomless pit these days. Of course, he loves seeing how far plates and bowls can fly, also.

Happy Valentines Day

In light of it being Valentines Day and my Dad (AKA K-Pa) having heart surgery this week, here is a virtual card for my Dad.





And, just one picture that I realized that I liked of us.

High Energy Boy

Ty is full of life and is keeping us very, very busy...and tired by the end of the day. Ty is chatting it up big...lots of Daaaaa, Maaaaa, Naaaaa...lots of those No's! He also is fond of pointing at everything and waving his hand at me when I tell him no...such as when I have to tell him not to shove wires in his mouth. He loves all wires...

The weather has finally turned and SF is a fabulous place right now. Even though it's only February, I am in such a good mood because we get to be outside again.

Ty still loves his bath, but it really has become more like a swimming pool. He's not drinking too much of the water.

We've been taking lots of self-portraits because Ty likes to see the digital camera right after we take the picture...he loves looking at himself!

Diving in my laundry




Ty knocked over the light, which knocked the picture!


Finally a calm moment.

Resemblance

I know that Ty mostly resembles Tim, BUT...my mom pointed out that Ty looks a little like me in this picture of me. Well, Ty definitely didn't get my ears! Mine are sticking out a bit. What do you think?

Afternoon Nap at Crissy Field

Finally a pretty day!

Short Post

Just a short post with new pictures on Flickr...just click through any of the pictures and you'll be taken to the mass amounts of pictures of the boy on Flickr.

Do not the Mardi Gras outfit!

Also, it's getting harder and harder to take a straight picture of Ty these days. I only seem to catch the side of his head or the top of his head while he is on the move.

Ty posing in the stroller right before I sell it...more later on the Stroller Swapping! Yes, I've sold another and am re-buying one that we already had! (Well, a new one, but the same version).

Maverick's

Finally, the weather is good again. The weather cleared just in time for the Maverick's surf contest down in Half Moon Bay. (Check out the links at Mavericks Surf .) Our friends, Susan and Bob, grabbed a campsite and we met them down there. We couldn't see much, as the surf break was about 1/2 mile off the coast, but I got to catch a few of the competitors through the binoculars. But, we had a great weekend hanging out with Susan and Bob having an impromptu BBQ right at the coastal campsite.

Cheeck out the view. You can't tell, but the surfers are on 30 foot waves out there.


We're in "Moose", Susan & Bob's Westfalia VW.

Check out this sunset that Ty and I caught!

Belated Happy New Years Greetings-Part 3

We came back to crazy San Francisco weather. Lots of people were without power for several days. Fortunately, we were only without power for one morning. Ty and were looking out the window when a huge tree got ripped out of the ground and fell onto the street and MUNI lines. It was pretty crazy to watch all day, as slowly more and more branches fell down.



We got a little cabin fever because of all the rain, but we found refuge at the mall with our friend, Sharon, and her baby, Maya. Ty kept trying to grab Maya's food and toys!



We started back at Ty's weekly physical therapy. Here he is riding Rody. We're hoping he'll be "fired" from therapy soon, as he has caught up developmentally because of all of the "alternative" therapies he has done (Anat Baniel Method and Osteopathy). But, he has lots of fun at physical therapy, as they have many more toys and a great big room to play in.



Ty also watched some of the LSU game with me...can't you see how into the game he is?

We stopped back in Denver for three days on the way home. Ty got to meet his newest friend, Cooper. Cooper is Ang & Geri's (Tim's parents) new Scottie pup. Ty and Cooper are pretty much the same size at 22 pounds each. We had to be on the lookout, as Tim's parents have stairs, which we have never dealt with. Ty streaked off a few times and started hauling up the stairs!

We're already halfway through January 2008 and I'm already behind! So much to catch up on. We went to Louisiana for Christmas. My mom is in the process of remodeling her kitchen, so she has so much more space now. Ty had his own little "Ty town" play area in her kitchen. And, so many new toys that he doesn't have at home. If you want to see a couple of videos of Ty playing with my brother, Kirby, here it is. Ty laughs so hard in one of them that he just keeps falling over.




In the Edwards' tradition, we all got matching pajamas. Ty stood out in his new red Christmas pajamas.


Tim sometimes gets a little stir crazy in Louisiana, so we did a little road trip. Ty loves Alton Brown on the Food Network and his "Feasting on Asphalt" show. We recreated one of Alton's road trips to Lorman, Mississippi to find the Old Country Store owned by Mr. D for fried chicken. Lorman is about 20 minutes north of Natchez and not too far from the Natchez Trace. Check out this link for the background on it. Feasting on Asphalt



The fried chicken was worth the 2 hour drive! And, we got to hear Mr. D sing to us after we got our chicken...check it out on Youtube
