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.
