Where does the time go?
It's been so long since my last post...sorry about that.
Tysen is now talking up a storm...his most common phrases are "get down (while standing up on top of the table), sit down, said no, put it back, airplane (while pointing up), dog, moo, cow, neigh (while pointing at the neighbor's horses), quack, me up". He of course also says the standards (mama, dada, nana, grandpa, lexi, gabi, balloon, ball, no, more, milk, etc). He has a great vocabulary for his age. He has been starting to copy everyone (which means you have to watch what you say!).
One or our neighbors has a dog that constantly barks (no matter what they do - he has a bark collar). The other day he was barking and Tysen was standing on our side of the fence saying "no...no...no" to him (it's wire horse fencing that you can see through). Of course this just made him bark louder - it was quite comical. Tysen was saying "no" with all the attitude he could muster - even clenching his fists and raising up his arms to emphasize his point...still to no avail. It was so cute.
On a different note - we will be moving at the end of October. We've bought a slightly bigger 1 1/2 storey house (2200 sf on the top two floors). It is also in the same neighborhood as my parents, so that will be nice. It is in walking distance of schools, parks, shopping, etc. We take possession on the 28th. We sold our house (in 8 days!) for our asking price, so we lose possession of this house on the same day (ack - we'll have to move quickly). Hopefully the transition won't be too hard on Tysen (he's currently sleeping 12 hours a night, we'd like to keep it that way!)
I will post up our September pictures soon.
