Week 45
Friday started week 45 off with a big sigh of relief that the appraisal was done. Here it is a week later and we have heard NO information from Quicken Loans or the appraiser. But anyways, I had a new thing to stress me out on Friday... and that was Tyson spending his first night away from me!!!! I had to work all of Labor Day weekend (including Monday), so I encouraged Heath and Ty to go camping with his family. Why I encouraged that, I don't know... because I was so worried about missing him. And it wasn't going to be just one night away, but 3 nights away! So Friday consisted of me packing Ty's food/clothes/gear for his 3 night camping trip, while Heath did the brakes on his truck so he could get it inspected, so they could take the canoe. The brakes took him a bit longer than he anticipated... they were supposed to leave at 3 PM but at 8 PM when they weren't still weren't out the door, they decided to leave in the morning. As scared as I was of missing Ty, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get Friday night all to myself! But say-la-vee....
Sabbath I worked and the boys left. I got home to an empty, silent house (since the puppies went camping too). It was sad, but I was psyched to get a phone call from Heath. I wasn't expecting it, since they were camping in the very most northern part of NH with no cell phone service. Well, he was able to call because all of them (Heath, Adam & his parents) all forgot their pillows. They went to the nearest town to buy them at the dollar store and had service there. It was great to hear from him and to hear that Ty was having the time of his life. Heath kept him in his PJ's all day and he crawled all over the campsite in his long-sleeved sleeper, which became filthy. Heath told me that Ty got his first black and blue on his forehead. He had been out of my care for less than 24 hours and already was maimed!!!! He had been crawling on the air mattress and took a header off the side of it. It didn't seem like a big deal and he didn't even cry, but there must have been a rock under neathe the tent floor that got him in the head. But he was a trouper and just having a great time!
Sunday I worked again and then took advantage of being home alone and hit the pharmacies for couponing on my way home. That made for a long, tiring night but it was worth it by getting free mouthwash, deoderant, and contact solution! When I got home, I was shocked to get another call from Heath. They were on their way home! Up in northern NH they were getting severe weather, thunderstorms, wind and hail and it was going to pour all night, so they high-tailed it out of there! I felt bad that they had to cut their trip short, but I was psyched to, at least, set eyes on Ty! He was asleep, of course, but I was so excited to pick him up and put him in his bed!!! Great ending to the day.
Monday, Labor Day, I went back to work. Three 12 hour shifts in a row? I am not used to that at all, but it was summer requirement, so I had no choice. Unfortunately, I worked 9a-9p on Monday and Ty was asleep when I got home. )=
Tuesday I couldn't wait to wake up and see Ty! It had been 3 full days since I had seen him awake! I got quite the smile when he saw me for the first time! I think he missed me too! We went to the library group in the morning and, unfortunately, they weren't having it that day! But we stayed for about an hour and Ty had fun playing with all the toys there. Then we hit up the Goodwill and headed home. The rest of the day consisted of me unpacking the boy's camping supplies. One of the things that Ty did for the first time was climbed INTO the dishwasher while I was loading it. Are you kidding me? What is it with him and the dishwasher?
Wednesday I didn't have to work! Since I worked on Monday, I was in the clear! We didn't do anything earth-shattering but Shannon came over in the afternoon. Something ridiculous happened when she got here. Shannon was sitting on the chair in the family room and Ty crawled over, stood up, and starting sucking on her big toe! This is not Ty's first toe-sucking, so it is causing me to scratch my head a bit. I put Tyson in his walker for the first time in about a month on Wednesday and he walked forward!!!! I'm sure he had this skill for awhile, but I just never put him in his walker anymore because he hates it. Any type of restraint is a major problem for a kid on the move like him!
Thursday was a busy day. Ty and I drove up to Conway to have an appointment with some church ladies about a certain baby shower that will be thrown soon (it's not a surprise). Ty was a good boy and slept the whole way there. When we were having the meeting, our friend, Stephanie, brought her 7 month daughter along. Tyson went crazy when he saw her, but in a bad way. He scared her to death with his squealing and his constant grabbing/pulling at her. I don't know what to do about this situation. Obviously I didn't let him get to her the rest of the time, but it was hard. I have to say that the first thing he did when he saw her was grab her foot. It is official. He has a foot fetish! After the meeting, we rushed back and headed out to the mexican restaurant with my parents and Shannon & Sean for my late birthday. We had a great time and I was thoroughly embarrassed when they brought a huge sombrero for me to wear. Ty was a bit scared by it actually. Poor buddy crashed on the way home and was out like a light!
Have a great week - sorry such a late post!

The sleeping arrangements
I love this picture like they are having a real conversation!
The way they kept Ty in one spot
Loving his special space!

Finally figured the walker out!
Very excited that Daddy was home

Beating up on little Brooke )=
On the way home, he was so cute & pensive looking out of the window
Just slightly embarrassed
Exhausted after the busy day
Fun times with Noni
One of his favorite past times - clearing off the end table, including my Ipad
Loving his technology
Showing off his new trick - bouncing his ball
Noni kissing his toes
Lounging on the couch
