4 and a half (months)

Actually, Ty is a little older than that, but it sometimes gets on my nerves when people keep referring to their kids as "23 weeks" or "19 months"...just round it up! Say "she's almost 5 months" or "he's a year and a half."

Well, Tyler's beautiful hair may not be around for long. It began falling out a while ago, but only a few strands at a time, here and there. Recently, we've been finding his hair on everything he uses, but mostly when we pick him up out of his crib in the mornings we'll find a bunch of hair where his head was laying! Oh it's so sad, but it's mostly around the sides and the back of his head...the top of his head is still pretty full of hair. From now on, I may start putting him on his tummy for naps!

Ty has gotten used to the motions his mouth has to make to eat the rice cereal, too! He used to get too frustrated when he was hungry to try to figure out how to eat the cereal and wanted a bottle instead, but now he gobbles the stuff right up! And he's getting less messy (note that I didn't say cleaner, just less messy).

Tyler found his feet the other day, too. If he's laying on his back (anywhere), he'll usually grab his feet, one in each hand :) It makes diaper changing time a little longer, but it's so cute to see him hold on to his toes like a little yoga man. He now giggles and laughs at me and Mike, too! Oh that sound is pure heaven. It just makes us want to get him to giggle more! I say the words "mamamamama" and "dadadadada" to him over and over when I change his diaper, and he just lights up and starts giggling. This also makes changing time a little longer :)

Today has been very dreary and cloudy. We are getting remains from Tropical Storm Alberto, so it's not too rainy or windy, but just cloudy and wet enough to make you want to stay inside. I guess I don't mind being at work so much today. It would have been a great day to stay in and cuddle with my two boys, though. Mike and I have not had as much time for cuddling as I think either of us would have liked in the past few days. We'll have to work on that :)
