Gone Fishing!

Brian has been fishing with his buddies in WI this week, so I have been checking in with Kelly and Ty each day to see what I can do to help them.

Yesterday Ty was awake while I was there. He is such a cutie!! He looks so much like Kelly's Dad now, but has Brian's droll expression. So it makes a cute combination! When he smiles or chuckles, it sometimes startles him. Like, what the heck was that.... and where did it come from? But then he will smile again and all is well. He is just starting to coo to me .... tho I imagine he does it more often to Brian and Kelly. He still hates his tummy time..... but he gets it anyway! Gotta strengthen those back and arm muscles if he ever wants to crawl or sit up!

Tomorrow is his 3 month birthday. In so many ways it seems like he should be older than that. He fits into our family so well that it seems like he has been with us always. He is a very natural addition to our lives!

PS .... a prayer request...... another dear, dear new mom is struggling with post partum depression. Please pray that she will find herself on an even keel physically and emotionally soon, so she can continue to be the awesome mother that she is! We don't always have control over how our bodies work. But I know she will use this experience to help other moms in the future. It takes someone who has been through it to undertand what it is all about. Love you, honey. And I am praying for you!
