Tyler is very interested in the world around him. It's hard to nurse him when anyone else is in the room because he constantly unlatches to look around. When he's sitting in the bouncey seat, which has him inclined at a 45 degree angle, he tries to pull his torso up to a more upright position (it looks like he's doing crunches.) As a result, we are getting a lot of use out of the Bumbo seat, which is interesting, because that item didn't get much use with Brennan. I decided to pull out the Exersaucer and Jumperoo. I thought the jumper might be a little too much for him at this age, but he actually fits in it a little more comfortably than the Exersaucer, since it cradles his body more tightly. He seems to love having a straight on view of Brennan play and has been jumping around quite a bit. Brian thinks it looks like he is doing the running man when he gets his legs going. I have taken video, but the files are too large to upload here and I am still on the fence about using You Tube. Will try to work out a solution so I can post video.
The splashing at bath time has made it too much to continue baths on the kitchen counter, so Tyler's tub has now moved to the bathroom. Here he is in his first bath in the bathroom (tub in a tub.) He seemed quite content to have some toys to play with and to have big brother giving him lots of attention at bath time.
Tyler watches us when we eat and will open his mouth and put his head forward if you put food close to his face. I thought he might be ready to try cereal, so Tyler got in the highchair for the first time this week. He opened wide for his first spoonful of rice cereal, but pretty much pushed it all out with his tongue. We gave it a good try, but I don't think he is quite ready yet. We'll try again in another couple of weeks.
