Sun

It's amazing how the weather turns in just one week. The ice and 30 degree weather are gone and the sun has been shining brightly. With 80 degree temps we have been taking advantage of the opportunity to be outside.

Weather

The weather has been pretty severe this week--we even had snow and ice! With that, Jeff has been able to be home with Tyler all week--can't do landscaping in the ice. Tyler is now sitting pretty well by himself. He goes for his 6 month checkup this week so we'll get to see how much he's grown.

Sunny Disposition

There are no down moments in our house now that Tyler is here. He amazes us with his sunny disposition. He can get himself across the room in record time. It's not a crawl, but he slides by pulling himself with his arms, and rolls his way to wherever he wants to be! He also pivots on his stomach with his legs in the air, and uses his arms to spin around and do 360 degree turns. We figure we don't have much time until he is fully mobile and crawling his way around!

Feeding

We thought Tyler was getting the hang of this feeding himself thing. He holds his own bottle about 80% of the time, and can get the spoon into his mouth pretty steadily. BUT, we underestimated how quickly things change. . .this feeding required about 8 paper towels and a bath afterward.

Giggling

Relaxing

Tyler spent the weekend relaxing on the floor. His feet have become the most interesting thing to him, and it is so rare now that he stays on his stomach to do anything--after all, you can't play with your toes laying on your stomach! He's also giggling at regular intervals--when we least expect it.
