Our New Alarm Clock or Uh Oh!

We have had a new alarm clock all week! It's the TMH Alarm Clock. Model No. 10/31/07. Yes, Carynn wasn't kidding when she wrote on her schedule for us that Ty woke up between 6:00 and 6:30 AM every morning. Like clockwork, he did! Except for yesterday and today (Sunday) when he woke up at 5:30. Ouch! That's okay though as he goes right back down after a bottle and a diaper change so he gets a little nap and we do too!

We've been enjoying having him all week while C & J had some R & R. I had forgotten though how much energy a baby has when you have him 24/7 and how my energy level isn't quite as high as it used to be. What I've been telling my friends when they ask how we're doing is that having a baby in your 20's and 30's is a lot different than having a baby in your 50's!

Ty's such a cheerful little guy that except for the energy issue-he has lots, mine/ours varies-we've been having a wonderful time. Claire, our dog is, having a good time too. She likes to follow me when I'm carrying Ty to see if he's going to drop anything that might be of interest.

He (Ty) also learned a new word. Yep, his new word is, drum roll please, Uh Oh! (Or is that two words?) I would say it whenever he pitched anything overboard while he's sitting in the high chair and then on Thursday (9-11) he said it too! He even stressing the last syllable just like I do. We've been trying different ways of using the new word.

Ty was a hit at our Stake Post Camp Leadership Meeting, the High Priest Progressive Dinner, when our Home Teachers came to visit, and while we were out shopping. He is very social and enjoys "talking" to people. He also tried out something new while we were at the Progressive Dinner-mangoes! He likes them.

This morning his mom and dad are on their way to the airport to begin their trip home. We've been praying all week for them in their travel and also that Ty will be safe with us. So far so good!

He's already had breakfast, a bath and is having a brief session in his jumperoo as I write this. I'm so thankful that I can be a nana. I love him!
