To Catch Everyone Up...

I've found that the first blog post tends to be the most awkward. It's the one where I tell everyone who I am, my hobbies, all the fun stuff. When I was younger and was exploring the world via the internet and chatrooms (terrifying stuff there) people always said 'asl' which stands for age, sex (GENDER), and location.

To make things short. My name is Tylyn. (It's weird I know)
1. I'm 19
2. Seeing as I've birthed a child, I'm a woman.
3. A comfortable 2 bedroom apartment occupied by myself, my adoring fiance and our son, Mr. James.

I used to blog years and years ago when I thought I was some misunderstood teen that needed to write about how horrible my life is. But seeing as I'm now a misunderstood adult, I figured I'd restart and focus on topics that are far more interesting and far less depressing. My son.

James is already FIVE MONTHS OLD! He's beautiful and extremely intelligent. We chose to name him James Hollis N. (Not giving out that kind of information out to the internet creepers) and we were blessed with him last May.

We've reached a lot of milestones so far!

James has...
1. Managed to projectile poop on just about everyone in the family.
2. Projectile puked on on everyone in the family.
3. Said his first word (dada)
4. Gotten into crawling position. (We're only a few months away)
5. And has managed to survive for five months, which is huge.

James was a SURPRISE! to say in the least. Jesse, my fiance, and I, dated all throughout high school, occasionally deciding that we hated each other and breaking up before finding love with eachother again. It's been a really bumpy road, but we're engaged and happy, even if we feel like killing each other at times.

I'll be sure to share more pictures, but for now, I'm just wanting to post the Halloween pictures I took of James!

For this photo shoot, I bought a soft, plush blanket and several Harvest decorations (all from our local Dollar General) The outfit and stuffed animals came from a Disney Store (look online) and the picture was taken with Jesse's cellphone. (Camera for Christmas, please Jesse?)

 A lot of people don't see how I'm able to get him to laugh so hard. Firstly, he's just a giggle box as it is. Jesse, I guess, was a really unhappy child, and I was pretty mellow, so I'm unsure where he got this crazy amount of happiness, but I love it! But anyway, to really get a child laugh? You really just have to be stupid and silly and not care that you're being stupid or silly. Jesse stood right behind me while I took the pictures and made all sorts of faces and noises at him.

Also, James is only five months old and hasn't quite mastered sitting up by himself. If attempting a shoot like this, make sure to have someone close by with open arms to prop your baby back up and make sure they don't fall over. 

I'm not a photography expert, but I love taking pictures of my little guy. I'll post his Christmas pictures (took them several months before these, even) on the next blog. =]
