Here is the usual monthly picture on the arm of the recliner.

Tyler’s New measurements according to his Pediatrician appointment yesterday are:

Weight: 19lb 5.5oz (77 percentile)
Height: 27 1/2 ins (81 percentile)
Head circumference: 17 1/2 cm (67 percentile)

Tyler is doing great. He has had his front two bottom teeth poke through his gum in the last three weeks. He actually did very well with it. He was a little bit more fussy but nothing unmanageable. He is picking up everything in reach and laughing quiet often. The funniest thing to me in the last week is that he has started to laugh at Toby. For those of you that know Toby, aka circus dog, he does lots of tricks and Tyler thinks it is very funny to see him do them. He really likes “speak” and “play dead”.

A few other goings on with the family and Tyler include:

We were able to buy a jogging stroller in early April off of Craig’s List. If you have never used this service you really should it was great for us. We got a really good stroller for an excellent price and it had very few uses before we bought it. We have been jogging with him a couple times a week and at the end of April we ran our first 5k road race with him. Tyler did great, he started cheering every one on about mile 2 1/2.

Since Tyler can sit up now he can take baths like a big boy. We still have a hand on him at all times but he is doing well. He likes to splash and play with his bath toys.

Just plain cute!

Our first Mother’s Day was great. We had his Baby Dedication at church that day. We had both sets of Grandparents and Tia Amanda and Tim over for the occasion. Here is Tyler playing with his two Grandmas.

Tyler has also wanted to pet Billy. Even though Tyler often grabs and pulls Billy hair, Billy still comes back for more. Billy loves a good head rub.

We made a trip up to see Jamie’s parents and Tyler was able to play with his two cousins. Although Keighley and Connor just wanted to touch and get right up in Tyler’s face the whole time. But it was a pretty good visit. Here are a couple of pictures.

Tyler was talking to Keighley, but she said she didn’t understand what he was saying either
