Braggin' on my baby

The other night my sister called me to tell me that her one and only child had mastered the art of rolling over. Of course I was excited that my ADORABLE little niece was developing so well. But I began to think about when Blake was my one and only child, and how every time he mastered anything: rolling over, smiling, laughing, first tooth...etc., I would be on the phone calling Matt at school, my sister, mom, anyone who would listen, and tell them what an amazing child I have. Then I thought oops...I really haven't done that for Tyler. I still get excited when Tyler gets the hang of new things, but I don't broadcast it like I did for Blake. So this post is dedicated to my baby.

Tyler is an expert at sitting up. He hardly needed any practice. One day I thought,"Huh, I wonder if he can sit up yet?" Low and behold he could. He soon was bent in half and his nose was touching the carpet, but hey he could do it. Now he is a pro!


Tyler is an extremely happy baby. It is so easy to get him to smile and laugh. Even though he is only six months old (soon to be seven) he is a peacemaker. Blake can be so grumpy (I think he has the 2year old attitude mastered pretty well) Tyler can cheer him right up, he can do the same for me when I am feeling grumpy (I think I have the frustrated mother of an almost 2year old attitude mastered pretty well). He also has been sleeping 12hours a night since he was 10 weeks old. WOW! What a kid, eh?

Tyler loves the sound of his voice, and really likes the "ba ba" sound. He can also clap, not on cue or by imitating, he just likes to smack his hands together. He loves solid food especially bananas. He loves to be sung to. His favorite song is "The Little Green Frog" , thanks Uncle Ben for teaching us. Like his older brother he loves to go outside, and loves taking baths.

Tyler is a big boy and is wearing the same size diaper as his older brother. They even share pajamas once in awhile.

I am so grateful that Tyler is a part of our family. I love him so much and I feel very privileged to be his mommy.
