many faces...

Tyson, are you posing for the camera?
Sometimes he gets this surprised face after he fills his pants.

Dad filling Tyson in on the ways of the world.

I look a little tired...a lot tired actually. This peanut hasn't let me sleep more than two hours a night yet. It's a darn good thing he's cute:)

Grandma's in town

Grandma Becky (Jackee's mom) came into town to help a new mom out. She's only been here since Wednesday night and already she's made a freezer full of food...including her fantastic homemade buns!
Loving up her newest grandchild.

Grandma Becky swears she got a real smile out of him...I'm pretty sure it was just gas.

Yipee...

No more paparazzi!

I told Tyson Grandma Becky was coming to visit for a few days...he was super excited.

Tired

Being new parents is exhausting...luckily Tyson and Dad like to nap together.
I don't know why this picture didn't rotate but it was too cute not to put in here.


Our first outing as a family was a trip to the pediatrician. Tyson didn't know what to think of his carseat...he's thinking it over. Once the car started he decided he liked it.


Power to the people.

I'm pretty sure Tyson spent most of his time in utero with his hands up by his face. I pride myself on being a pretty good swaddler but this little Houdini somehow manages to get his hands free every time.

Tornados and oompa loompas

There has been horrible weather since Tyson was born. We spent saturday afternoon in our basement due to a tornado warning. Jason decided to spend the time watching ESPN with Tyson and explaining what the Triple Crown is.

This was taken before his first sponge bath...he looks a bit frightened at what was coming.

Tyson was looking pretty jaundiced. One of the remedies is sunlight so Daddy and Tyson decided to do some sunbathing by a window.

Poor guy was starting to look like an oompa loompa with his orange skin.

Life with Tyson

Our first family photo was taken at the hospital right before we headed home...and Tyson is already too cool to be seen with us.

The only blue thing we bought...

Hello handsome

Celebrate good times come on!

This is one of my favorite pictures.

Tyson Russell Haak 7lb 2oz 20 inches long. Russell is after Jason's dad who passed away in 2000.

Jason is a very proud papa.

When I finally got to hold him. I was still completely stunned at the days events.

Tyson's first bath.

Here's how the day went. I woke up around 2am with contractions but was convinced it was false labor so I walked around the house and packed my bag just in case. When Jason woke up that morning my contractions were getting closer together but were tolerable so we decided to go to my regularly scheduled doctors appointment at 11:15 instead of the hospital. By the time my appointment rolled around, things were picking up and I was already 5 cm dilated. Off to the hospital we went. I was admitted at around 12:30 and Tyson was born at 3:36pm...nice and quick. Unfortunately, that meant too quick for any pain medicines to work but all in all, I wouldn't change anything about the experience.
