Our Ty Man

This is the last blog post introducing Adalynn to her big brothers...

Ty is the youngest big brother to introduce you to... And boy, is he a hard one to explain! :) Let's see... he is a perfect mix of Hammy from Over the Hedge, Happy from Snow White and the the Seven Dwarfs, and Dash from The Incredibles. He has endless energy (DON'T give him caffeine), he happily sings all the time and when he runs, you can't see his legs! We've decided that you and Ty are going to be big buds based on when you like to flop around in my belly--which is when Ty runs circles around all of us--nighttime! Both of you are certainly night owls!

Ty Franklin got his middle name from your grandfather and my dad, Lynn Franklin. As for the name "Ty"...we just liked it! No story behind that name. And now, I can't imagine a better name for him--it just fits! He does have a lot of nicknames Ty Man, Pookie Bear (that came when he was very young) or Pooks, BabyCakes, and most recently, Trash Truck (came from a baseball game in which he was getting a little "trash talk" from the catcher and a friend of ours told him to tell him that the "Trash Truck was about to deliver!").

Ty has the best freckles ever--or as I call them, angel kisses. I would love to see those on you too! He has one of those personalities that is somewhat magnetic. In fact, your daddy says, "How can you not have fun with Ty?" He loves life, has a super-quick wit, lots of wisdom in his young years and steadily stumps mom and dad with tough questions (especially biblical questions!). Ty likes to give you (in my belly) hugs each morning and night and constantly tries to feel you move. He is going to be a very special big brother and good friend to you!

Ty showing his personality at a young age. Funny story about the above picture... Ty told me that he thought that photo was "kinda embarrassing." He said, "I mean...I really don't like soccer anymore!" (...nothing about the look-at-me-the-bug-catcher moment)
The picture below is during a recent baseball tournament. See how he runs everywhere?!
