Ty Baby home for 6 months

I can hardly believe that (just a few days ago) it has been six months ago that Ty came home....
It seems like he has always been with us but then it seems like yesterday that Jeff was in China.

We had our first post placement visit (with our social worker)... part of the requirements are to submit family pictures. Well, I have A LOT of pictures but none that show Jeff and I with Ty (without Miss Lily). I also only have one picture of myself with Ty. That is only due to the fact that Miss Lily wants to be in them all.

So while Lily was at preschool the other day we snapped a few pictures....
Ty thought this was a lot of fun but just to give you an idea of what his personality is like he mentioned Lily several times.... as though she needed to be there.

Our social worker asked me to tell her about Ty......
He is the one that always tries to make us laugh.
He is a social butterfly. He is really good with people and is always trying to help. If someone is crying or hurt he is the first to see why and give them a kiss.
He is so lovable.
He is fearless which causes mom and dad lots of fear.
He loves to look nice.... he wants gel in his hair each day like dad does. He always thanks me for doing his hair. He loves to try on new clothes.
He is always so thankful....he says THANK YOU for everything.
He loves pandas.
He is a smart little man.
He is so happy and jolly!
He loves all of his family, friends, and God.

We are so blessed to be his parents!!!!





Ty giving dad a kiss....


Ty LOVES the outdoors, watering flowers, planting flowers, digging, etc...... he also loves to pick my flowers.....
Here he is dressed up for his church dedication...... he took some time to stop and pick my mums on the front porch.

Another day and another opportunity to pick my flowers....

Ty in his bed... he is so proud of his Red Thread Stitches personalized pillow, his beautiful quilt that Aunt Rachel made him, his two pandas, the Dora he swiped months ago from Lily's room, and Boots that he got at King's Island.


Ty has discovered that Lily being in preschool isn't so bad... he can play with any toy he wants and he can wear her Matilda Jane hat. He LOVES the Matilda Jane hat by the way.
I was in the kitchen and spotted him wearing it while building a LEGO tower.


I LOVE Ty's hands........ they feel like little pancakes.... and they are just so cute.

Tiffany...what a great post telling us all about Ty Baby! He sounds like such a neat little guy!! I love that he wants hair gel in his hair and thanks you after you have done his hair! That is really sweet! : )

And I have to say he looks awfully cute in that Matilda Jane hat!

Have a great week-end!

Oh Happy 6 months! What a fun post to read - to hear your heart for your son. Your precious, beautiful perfect & FUNNY son. (LOVe the MJ hat pictures!!) You are so pretty with your perfect hair & I love how Ty always wants gel in his hair - he always looks dressed to the nines. Little boy clothes are cute..until they decide they want to wear elastic everywhere they go and if you try to put cargo pants or anything with buttons OR collars, they ask if we are going to church...big sigh. They grow up way too fast, don't they??

Happy 6 months!!! I REALLY enjoyed learning about Ty Baby! What a fantastic post! The photos are just adorable and there you go glowing again. Ty sounds like a true sweetheart. You are blessed!

Jessica said...

Wow..6 months did go by very fast. What a blessing Ty is...and a cutie too!

what a great post, I love the photos. Lu and Ty sound so much alike, I think their care takers really taught them empathy and kindness. Lu also says "tank you!" for everything, and if anyone is hurt or crying, wants to comfort them. He is also FULL THROTTLE boy! His abilities, confidence and skill on the playground far surpass any 3 or 4 yr. old I know (scary isn't it? we've got future athletes on our hands)

btw, I finally developed the disposable camera we sent to Xi'an ahead of us, was very excited to see some photos with Ty in them : )

congrats on 6 mos.! time flies huh? mel








Congrats on 6 mos., time flies huh?

Oh my goodness, if one had never met Ty they sure would feel like it after reading your thoughtful, loving words.

I'd say he's gonna be embarrassed by the pictures of him in Lily's stuff when he's older, but it probably won't bother him one whit.

Give him & everyone a giant hug from the our household!

Ty is so cute, I could just give him a big squeeze. :) LOVE the picture of the 3 of you.

To the list describing Ty's personality, add to it a smile that lights up the room and eyes that reflect the sweetness inside this little guy. Ya gotta love him!!!

Love, Auntie Maxine

Tiffany, this was so beautiful. I love hearing about Ty's personality. Ty sounds like such a warm, gentle, fun, compassionate soul. It's so sweet too how much he loves and admires his big sister. What a blessing all around. I love the close ups of his face; gosh those eyes and that smile. Thanks for sharing this post!

If Ty baby was here right now he would be covered in kisses and hugs! Your pictures are so special they bring tears just viewing them. The three of you together is a beautiful picture and his hands are the sweetest! Ty is such a dear little fellow with so much love to give. He is too cute for words! Love, Gramma Glenda
