Mommy bought Tyler an exersaucer a few weeks ago. Depending on his mood, Tyler will play in it for up to 10 minutes. It seems to take a lot of his energy to keep himself up and steady. He's a bit wobbly, but it's definitely helping out his coordination.
He doesn't use his feet as much as he should, but he is slowly getting the hang of it. He reaches out to play with all the different toys and can trigger the music to play on his own.

Bumbo
Tyler borrowed Evan's bumbo chair to practice sitting. Right away Tyler seemed to like it. He's a bit wobbly in it, but does really well. Mommy and daddy has to watch him carefully when he's in it. A lot of times he hunches forward and then gets upset, lol.

Rice Cereal
Tyler made 5 months last week and graduated to SOLID foods. Mommy and daddy fed him rice cereal for the first time this weekend (Saturday, Feb 9th) and boy was it messy!
At first he didn't know what to do as the spoon approached his mouth. Mommy had to be very sneaky to get it into his mouth. At first his tongue kept pushing the food out, but I think after a while he was swallowing some of it.
Daddy has it all on video, so maybe one day it will be uploaded to YouTube. :)
Now everyday mommy is going to try feeding him rice cereal. It's only 1 ounce, which looks so little in his bowl ... but it takes a good 15 minutes to feed him. :P

Super Bowl
Mommy and daddy hosted a super bowl party this year. Lots of friends came over to enjoy the game and play video games. Hoku and Koa were very excited to get the extra attention ... especially since two other dogs (Wicket and Mochi) came to visit.
Tyler on the other hand, feel asleep in Aunty Joyce's arms for most of the game. Aunty Wendy fed him when he woke up and he was actually in a pretty good mood. He watched the TV screen as they played rock band and let a few other people (Derrick and Cindi) hold him.
It seems he doesn't mind lots of people as much, if we are at our house. So I guess that means ... more dinner parties for us. :)

Ho Hum
Mommy's been slacking a bit here on the blog. Sorry folks! Work has been keeping her very very busy. :(
A quick update on Tyler ... since the last entry, he has been back to Brian & Sylvia's and did just fine. He must have just had a bad day that other time.
Tyler is a lot more social now. He smiles when smiled at and has started giggling and laughing at times. He is becoming much more aware of who is carrying him now. If he is in a good mood, he'll let pretty much anyone hold him ... but if he is kind of fussy, he prefers mommy and daddy.
Tyler is slowly exploring the world around him. He makes more of an effort to grab things and can hold on to them for a little while. He gets excited and kicks his feet if you show him his favorite toy rattle and dinosaur. It is very cool to watch him.
Tyler actively sucks his fingers and hands and drools like a faucet. At his last checkup, he wasn't teething ... but its been over a month since then, so who knows now. If he's not wearing a big, he can soak up his shirt in less than 30 minutes. One of his favorite things to do is to spit up his hands and touch mommy and daddy. EEWW! :P
Tyler hasn't yet mastered rolling over, but can do it with assitance. On his own, he turns in his crib (from horizontal to vertical or vice versa) and can push a button on his crib toy to make it play songs. He also just found his feet. He lifts them up and tries to grab them. They haven't yet made it into his mouth, but I'm sure that time is coming.
