8 Months or Two Thirds

  This adorable kid is 2/3 of a year old today.
He's getting so good at sitting up on his own and loves to watch the train go around the Christmas tree with Dad.

 He had a fun treat last week: Grandma came to visit while Tim completed finals. She spoiled Ty, and all of us, and left more presents for him than Santa. As the saying goes: "Who needs Santa when you have Grandma?" They are best buds now. BTW, thanks for the Reindeer Jammers, Grandma!

 The day Diney left, we found this mysterious note from Ty to Santa:

 

Apparently, Ty is REALLY excited for Christmas and has been REALLY good!
