Tyson is very young still so it may be that he is waking you up because he needs to go outside and go potty. You may need to make a routine of taking him out once or twice at night until he is older and can hold it the entire night. If he's just restless, a good play session followed by a potty break right before bed can help tire him out enough to sleep through the night.
