My red ball!!

This is one of Tysons favorite toys, the red ball that Gramps got for the boys. He pushes it around, and uses it as a pillow most of the time!!

After this picture was took, he had his head on the ball and butt in the air with his feet flat on the ground!! What a ham!!

Tyson, Random Pictures! Winter!

Tyson is the boy who looks innocent and mellow, but if the smile gives him away. He has a mischeivous mind!!

See what I mean!! The wheels are turning!!

He wanted to be outside so bad, but it was just a little to cold for him. But he stood at the door and watched Zane cause trouble and dad of course!!

It is all about the eyes!!

Tyson has something to say!!

Ok so I am picking up were I left off the last time I sat down to do some blogging! A friend of mine stated how she lets her blogging pile up and she referred to it as binge blogging, and I liked that term!!

Anyway, these are a few pics of Tyson talking while Zane was busy in the leaves! He was just a talken and talken in his walker. He loves to be outside in his walker! Soon he will be crawling in the grass (snow soon) to keep up with Zane!

Tyson sitting!!

Tyson is sitting up so good by himself! He will sit and yell at the top of his lungs!! Not sure what he is so excited about but it is fun to watch him!!
I did not mean to catch him falling over but it was good timing!

Nap time!!

Tyson has alway been a good sleeper! Sometimes a little to good! He will be playing and fall asleep for a little while on the floor, wake up and been in a good mood still. He has always woke up in a good mood, usually smiling! I went to take a shower, got done and found him sound asleep like this on a couple different morings!!

This was my favorite! His left arm is hooked on the side like he was chillen and then just nodded off!!

Smiles = trouble, not these two!!

I have no idea how I caught these two holding still long enoght to get this picture done! Zane is looking at me and I am holding the camera to the side to get them head on.

Zane was drinking out of my coffee cup (it was empty or someone would have to check me in). After he takes a drink he says awww!

Boys playing!

Tyson loves to be in this walker, he is really trying to move it himself. Zane like to give him his little toys on it for Tyson to play with. One day (of course I did not get it on film) Zane was helping unload the dishwasher and has a large plastic spoon. He went over to Tyson to show him, Tyson grabbed on and would not let go and Zane pulled him across the kitchen with it. It was the cutest thing.

I love the way Zane pulls and pushes him around. Just a little side note, when this was filmed, Tyson weighed in at about 20ish pounds (last week at his 6 month appt, 22.8 lbs)!! Plus the walker was mine when I was that age, so it has a little weight to it. It does not sound like a lot, but it is amazing to me! And the way he had to line it up against the wall. After he "parked" Tyson, he took all the bumpers off from the base, so we had to put zip ties to keep them on!

Storybook Island and Dino park

Storybook Island is the best place for families and kids (it is free of charge, they just ask for donations, the Rotory clubs of Rapid put it together)! They have made a park with story book that kids can climb on, play in and be kids. It was fun to see the stories that Zane reconized. Again Tyson was just hanging out and taking it all it.

Alot of them are in memory of or donated by. Some of them were sad stories, this fire engine was in memory of some kids lost in a fire. Zane sat and drove it and moved all the levers and showed Tyson how to drive.

This is Pooh play house. He walked to the top and yelled down at me.

He knew cat in the hat and sat still long enough for this picture, which really surprized me or Im just getting really quick with a camera.

He was one cool little dude on the duck!! He loved these animals on giant springs, he sat, held on and got them to move a little.

Im not sure who like the diggers more dad or Zane, but Zane sure watched what dad was doing and then tryed it himself.

Dino park is really neat, a little boy at the top told us that it was 88 steps to the top. Zane walked about 80 of those steps. We did this just before we left Rapid to come back to Billings. Worked he slept past the Montana border.

1880 town and Wall Drug

We stopped at the 1880 town because we knew it was a self guided tour and you do it at your own pace! That way Zane got to take the lead and walk around and run. He did not know what to look at first, he had not seen alot of the stuff they have. They take old building and restore them to the original condition, they have a complete town. It will be intresting to take the kids back when they have had an American history class so they can see what they have learned. I enjoy it for the history and they are always adding decor and buildings.

This was in the fire house. Yes he was this serious the whole time.

Tyson just hung out with dad, looking around sucking on his two middle fingers.

Checking out farm equipment with dad.

Not sure why he is puffing out his chest. the building behind with hotel on the side has a saloon in it with a stage and bar. You can also rent costumes while you are touring it. A few young ladies had outfits on, it looked out of place but yet it did not.

Saw the big cow! They have Texas long horns and a camel around the property, I beleive they have the grand champion long horn.

This is part of the wall drug photos, my camera died so I got very few pictures of Zane. He really liked the buffalo they have on display so I found him a little buffalo to play with. He chewed on the horns, while talking to Tysons monkey.

When we got to Wall Drug it was raining and raining, so we had to find a bench inside for me to feed Tyson. Scott and Zane walked around while I sat in the main shopping area while Tyson had his bottle. It was fun to watch Zane people watch.
