The Holy Ghost and Dinosaurs

Oakley is a Sunbeam now at church and he's been making the transition pretty well, and learning some fun things. A few weeks ago when we got home from church he couldn't stop telling us all about what he learned. Take a look for yourself:

Random pictures around the house

One of Oakley's best friends is LJ. They always ask to play with each other and they really play well together. Here they are with their lightsabers in their pockets. It's funny cause they strut around like this all the time. They are silly.

Tyson is now big enough to sit in the Bumbo cause he can hold his head up for more then ten seconds, so while I'm making dinner or lunch I'll plop him in there on the counter. Well, of course, older brother wants to be right by him, sitting on the counter as well. Oak loves his little brother.

Sorry this one is sideways but for some reason I can't get it to rotate, but here's Tyson enjoying his bath after one of his many blowouts. He's almost too big for the sink now, we might have to pull out the mini tub thing.

And the last picture is of Tyson shoving his hand down his throat. Yes, he has found his hands, and he loves chewing on them. Most of the time we have these little gloves that he wears so he doesn't scratch himself, and he'll start sucking on those and I can hear him sucking from the other room. He sure is getting cute.

Smiling Tyson

Tyson has been such a joy to have in our home. He is such a happy baby all the time and he is so good. I feel like he's content whatever I do with him, whether it's put him in his crib to watch his mobile go around, or set him in his bumbo, or in the nook of a chair he is just happy all the time. And he's so good at just falling asleep on his own, as you can see in this picture:
I have captured a few of his fun smiles on camera so here they are:

I also have a video of him talking to me, which he does often also. I love his big smiles and all his cooing. Enjoy!

Tyson's blessing

Last Sunday we were able to bless Tyson at church. I was telling Wes the other day that it's funny cause he's so big already and doesn't seem like a newborn anymore, yet we were blessing him. Most babies when they are blessed seem so little, but not ours. They could almost be standing in the circle with the men. That's ok, at least he fit into Oakley's blessing outfit so we didn't have to buy him a new one.

We enjoyed having everyone over to our house afterwards. Even two of Tyson's great grandmas were there. I only got a picture of one of them. We'll have to catch grandma Margaret another day.

We are grateful that we could bless him and we were a little sad that my mom and dad missed out, but we got to Skype them later that day so they got in on the festivities a little.
