6 months!

Happy half-year birthday, Tyler!  You have brought so much joy into our lives.  I feel like we have gotten well past the difficult stage and the fun is just beginning.

Tyler as almost always happy, especially in the mornings.  When we makes noises for him he breaks out into a big laugh.  If he misses a nap he gets a little crabby, but it's not too bad. He sleeps 10-12 hours at night, and well, I can't ask for anything better than that.

Tummy time is getting better too.  He used to get upset after just a few seconds on his stomach but now he will spend 5-10 minutes playing this way.  He practices pushing up and sometimes he flips his legs under himself like he wants to crawl.  He does not roll over often but he can in both directions.   He can also sit up by himself if you prop him up on his arms like a tripod.

Tyler's handy work has really advanced.  He can transfer a toy from one hand to the other and will shake a rattle.
