3 Months!

Wow, the weeks have flown by, and Tyler is now over three months old. Its so hard to believe. He is so happy now and fun to play with, and it seems like he changes every day. We've had a few "milestones" this week that we're pretty excited about...

The first thing that happened was about a week ago, when I walked in his room in the morning to find him 180 degrees from the position he started in that night...just as I was wondering how he had managed that, he lifted up his legs as high as he could and flipped onto his side, pivoting a little as he did that. He started smiling and repeating this motion until he was back to the way he had started! That has now turned into (a few times) actually flipping over onto his stomach. So, we really have to watch him now :)

I also got him to laugh his first real belly laugh this week. No one else has seen it but me, but hopefully in the coming weeks it will become a normal thing. There is just nothing like when a baby laughs that way!!

One on the way (for Matt and Melissa!)...

Tyler is SO EXCITED for his new (girl!) cousin coming this summer!

12 Weeks Tomorrow!

Wow, I cannot believe its been almost twelve weeks! It is amazing that Tyler is still so little, yet changed so much. Today's "milestone" is that he discovered his hands. Although he's been sucking his thumbs/fingers/entire fist for a few weeks now, tonight was the first time that he started staring at his hands and was pretty amazed by them.

Here are just a few of his favorite things heading into his third month of life:

1. Sucking his thumbs. Either one suffices, yesterday he even managed to get both in his mouth at the same time and was pretty excited about that!
2. When his dad gives him raspberries on his tummy.
3. Watching football (but NOT commercials!) with his Grandpa George.
4. Making his bouncy chair play music by kicking his feet.
5. Falling asleep on Grandma - his favorite place on Grandma Cathy is her shoulder, his favorite place on Grandma Sherry is on her lap in the rocking chair.
