Wow! Six months have passed since Tyler’s birth! I always felt like time flew by but never as fast as when you are watching a child grow. Unfortunately Tyler is not feeling well on his six month birthday. It seems he has a touch of the flu. We got a call Wednesday that he threw up at day care. He already had an appointment scheduled to see his pediatrician later that afternoon for his six month checkup. Unfortunately it went from a six month well baby checkup to a sick child visit. When we got him home Wednesday night, he acted pretty normal…..still happy but just a little tired. We sent him to day care on Thursday and thought he was well until we got a call that he threw up again in the afternoon. He threw up a couple more times last night too. We are pretty bummed because he almost made it this whole month without getting sick.

On a happier note, this month has been a really fun one for Tyler’s development. He's doing so much, it feels like he warped from baby to little man this month. His personality continues to shine through....he's smiling and giggling constantly. He is really paying attention to toys and books and he seems to be figuring out cause and effect. He is reaching for things and putting everything in his mouth. He really seems to want to sit up more now, although a lot of times he will topple forward or sideways. We are really enjoying watching him grow. He is like constant entertainment because he seems to do something new everyday. I posted TONS of pictures this month, but here are a few gems I've been saving to post....
