On the move!

My LiL'Man is growing up!! In two weeks Ty has crawled, sat up from a laying position and today I went to get him from his crib after a nap and he was standing up! Seems like just yesterday that he was born! And now I can't keep up w/him..he's all over the place getting into things that are NOT his toys, I mean you really shouldn't buy kids toys, b/c they would rather play w/pots and pans, boxes, bags, rugs, shoes....anything that's not a toy!!

Ty has been doing great, we're still on antibiotics and he doesn't like having to sit still and wear a mask for 20min.....sometimes he'll fall asleep during it. We go back to Duke on the 23rd for a quick checkup and to get a throat culture to see if we have gotten rid of the pseudomonas and I'm Praying/Hoping that it's gone and stays gone!! He's healthy and happy though so it must be working..he hasn't gotten sick(knock on wood)!!!! Then on the 27th we go back up to Duke to do a PFT which is where they sedate him and put a mask and a vest on him to test his true lung function so that they can better treat him and know how his lungs are doing so far. Hopefully that comes back great..I'm really nervous about that. And like the first week of May we go BACK up to Duke for his normal checkup. We are going to be very busy!! I love my baby and will do anything/everything possible to keep him healthy!

We have rented our townhome out and on May 5th we close on our brand new house!! We are soo excited and can't wait to get in and settled. We are currently staying at my parents house right now and having a fun time! I know my Mom is ready to have her house back...we have come in and have our stuff and Ty's toys everywhere...LOL, I'm sure she loves it though.

So things are looking up for us and I Pray/Hope that it continues to stay that way...just have to keep my head held high and have faith in God that everything will be just fine! God Bless!

Ty's First Easter

I haven't written in awhile, alot has been going on. We are currently living w/my parents right now and getting our townhome rented out! We have been looking at houses and we think we might have found one. Going to go look at it again along w/a few others. Sooo excited about buying a house!

Ty's last clinic visit went great, he was 15lbs or so and lungs were still sounding clear. He also exceeded their expectations!! Well a week later we got his cultures back and he cultured a bacteria called pseudomonas. A nasty bacteria that they take seriously! So we had to take Ty up to Duke this past Tuesday so that his Dr. could check him out. We almost had to stay up there for a week to do antibiotics through IV's, but his Dr. said he looked great, lungs sounded clear and he wasn't showing any signs of being sick so they sent us home w/antibiotics that he has to do twice a day for a month. He's on Tobi(inhaled antibiotic) and Cipro(oral antibiotic) both twice a day. He has done great so far with the Tobi..he has to have a mask on which looks like a fishy(LOL) for 20min that has this mist coming out of it with the meds. He's such a trooper though...soo proud of my LiL'Man for doing so great! I'll have to get a pic of him w/his fishy mask on later. I hope and pray that these meds get rid of the pseudomonas and that it stays away and NEVER comes back!!!!!

Also can't wait for Ty's first Easter! We are leaving for the beach tomorrow to stay at my Sister's beach house. Then spending time w/Kelly's family on Sunday! I got Ty a little wagon with stuff in it for Easter..can't wait! :) Well that's the update for now..hope everyone has a Happy/Safe Easter!!

A few updates...

Sleepy baby


Haha Daddy put a lamp shade on his head LOL



Getting on hands and knees!

Enjoying his new highchair!

Waiting for his Dr. at Duke.

This past Monday Ty had a appt. at Duke for his checkup and everything went great! He was 15lbs 4oz and alittle over 25in! He's getting to be such a big boy! They were happy with his weight gain and progress and said his lungs still sounded clear yay!!! He was flirting with all the nurses and Dr.'s!! We also got the green light to start all solids(which I have been feeding him for about a month now haha). We currently do not have to add anything to his food to add calories since he's doing great and gaining weight at a goo rate. He exceeded all their expectations...soo proud of my LiL'Man! Then Tuesday he had his 6month checkup with his regular Pediatrician and according to their scale he was 15lbs 8oz. His Pedi. was pleased with his weight and everything. He got his 6month shots..poor baby didn't like it one bit! He got four shots!!! OUCH! I felt soo bad for him. Sooo now we go back to Duke in two months instead of 1month .

Today was soo beautiful..was like 75 degrees out and sunny!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this weather!! :) Ty and I went and looked at a couple of houses, we are currently trying to rent our townhome out again and hopefully it all works out and we can soon buy a house!! Can't wait, I'm sooo excited! We have found one so far that we like, but we're keeping our eye out for others.

Well that's it for now! Hope you enjoy the pics and enjoy the weekend!

6months!

Tyler is 6months and 1week old!! He's getting to be such a big boy!! A few things have happened since I last posted, nothing bad all good...he now has two bottom teeth, he can get on his hands and knees and he figured out how to go foward in his walker! He has accomplished soo much in just a few short weeks! He has also been sleeping pretty well in his new crib. He also got a highchair this weekend b/c he can no longer sit in his bumbo chair b/c he climbed out of it..ughh scared me !! He's okay though thank goodnes!

We go back up to Duke for a checkup on March 15th then he has his 6month checkup w/his Pediatrician the very next day, can't wait to see how much he weighs! I weighed him on our scale at home and he's around 15lbs!! He's been eating solids like a champ too, he loves his sweet potatoes and pears..Yum Yum!! :)

I have more pics, but I have to upload and post them later!!

A few updates...

We just bought Ty a new crib and are trying to transition him into it. He's been sleeping in his swing since he was 2.5months old. I guess it's time he started sleeping in his own room..Sighh..Mommy is not ready for that. :( But it has been hard to get him to sleep really well lately since he just started teething. Hopefully things in the sleep departement will get better soon once those teeth come through.

Ty has also been trying to get on his hands and knees, but he just can't figure out how to do it.

Teething

LiL'Man is teething..poor baby has TWO teeth(bottom front) coming in at the same time!! OUCH! He's been chewing on everything and drooling like crazy! Hope those teeth come on through comp. really soon b/c he's been sooo upset!!
