Many thanks/pictures

I had a great shower Sunday at church. We got all kinds of goodies and clothes. Ty is loving the new toys since we had basically none before, he talks and smiles at them. I know I have said it before but all the support, prayers and gifts are overwhelming and humbling. He is such a loved little boy already!!
He is just the best baby he has been sleeping really well at night his normal is 4-5hrs the first stretch and then three for the next two. One night he went 7hrs, of course I didn't, waking up and checking on him every hour or so in disbelief. He is giving more and more smiles everyday and its the cutest thing. He will usually eat and then play for an hour or so then nap and repeat.

Here are some pictures from our last couple days in AZ and first few weeks at home.... I'm a little behind with pictures and probably always will be, but hope you enjoy. He already is so much bigger than when we brought him home.

Father's Day

I'm a little behind on posting this but thats ok ;).  First of all Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!

Father's Day was super special to me. It was a wonderful day and it made me happy. It was Jeff's first father's day AND it was Ty's first trip to church. Also my grandfather preached, and we celebrated at lunch, with my father.

Jeff is already proving to be the amazing dad I knew he would be. I absolutely love watching him and Ty together and it is soooo cute! Since Jeff has gone back to work, when he comes home Ty almost always gives him a smile and it melts my heart. (I'm also a little jealous, because I try all day and daddy says one sentence and gets a big gummy grin). I love Jeff as a daddy and I know Ty does too!

My dad is amazing. Maybe I say that because we are similar in so many ways haha. My dad was  there for me my whole life and has been there to support me always. I have so many great memories of him coaching me during sports growing up and he was and is such a good coach. I know I am lucky to have the parents I do, and know they are the reason I am who I am today.

Saturday night we celebrated fathers day and Mr. Moseley's bday at their home. He has been a wonderful father-in-law to me and I could not ask for more. So happy that we have the relationship we have with each other, and happy he is my child's grandfather.
I love all the daddy's in my life!!!
While these are not actual father's day pictures, because I haven't got them done yet, but here are a few daddy pics.

Matching in camo, this is also Ty's first trip out of the home to a
cookout at the Moseley home.

This is home

We have been home almost a week. We have had sooo many friends and family coming to meet little man. It has been fun to show him off. We are still settling in and the true test is when it all slows down. I am so sad Jeff is going back to work tom. and that will be a reality check for me. I am not ready for him to go back, but honestly I never will be. He is excited to go back and I hope he enjoys it.
I don't know when I became so sappy haha. I find myself crying more than I should. Sometimes I cry when I look at him because I love him so much! Sometimes (especially in the nursery) I cry because he is here. I have dreamed about having him for years and sometimes it hits me, he is here, my dream came true. Its an indescribable feeling. I have to tell myself constantly that I am a mom, don't know if that will ever sink in.
I know every parent thinks they have the cutest kid in the world but for me its true :) hehe. Yesterday he had pictures done by my sweet friend Shauna. He was awake the whole time and making crazy faces at the camera. Im sure some of them are hilarious. He also started officially smiling yesterday. It was perfect because I and Daddy each got a good one. So now you know I spend all of his waking hours trying to get more of those and he greeted me with one this morning :).
He is still an amazing baby, he fights sleep so that takes some work, and on occasion he gets an upset tummy. The past two nights he has given me four hour stretches between feeds, but they were well deserved after the fight to get to sleep haha.
My nephews are by far the sweetest things with Ty you will ever see, it is unbelievable and indescribable if you haven't seen it. You will never see a 5yr old sit still for hours just to be able to hold him or feed him. It is so adorable.
Sometimes it overwhelms me how much my kid is already loved ;). He has so many friends and family that love him and its amazing. I'll post a pic of our church sign.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Love
Hard to see but it says "Welcome Home Jeff, Michelle and Ty. We love you!"
sporting the bib Brandy got him 
"really mom, more pictures?"
