Dear Baby Tyler,
This post comes 9 days late, but you're 4 months old!! Wow! The longest, fastest days of our life. You are a very happy little boy. So many smiles, laughs, coos & giggles during the day. And every single one melts my heart! You're very observant. You notice everything around you; probably because there is a lot happening around you with Evan running around! When Evan is in the same room as you, you just stare at him. Evan will put toys in your face or come talk to you and you just laugh and laugh at him. It's a wonderful Mommy moment! Soon enough you'll be running around with him so I'm enjoying the peace of having you non-mobile while I can. You've really discovered your "voice" the past few weeks. You babble to yourself and to us, sometimes I think telling us what to do or what you think of the insanity you see in the house sometimes. Life is chaotic and non-stop, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!
At your 4 month appointment, you were 14 lbs., 11 oz. (51 percentile) and 26 inches (86 percentile). You're a tall baby! You wear your 6-9 month clothes already and almost all of Evan's pants from when he was your age are too short. I anticipate you'll be taller than me by the time you're in kindergarten! Funny thing.....you're the EXACT same weight that Evan was at his 4 month appointment, and only half an inch taller than Evan.
I tell everyone that you're a wonderful 2nd baby - you're easy going, predictable, happy, and thankfully you're sleeping very well (averaging 8-10 hours a night!). When you're ready to wake-up, you let us know by "thumping" in your crib. You'll slam your legs up and down onto the crib and start bouncing. It's pretty loud and I often don't even need the monitor to hear you!
The days are super, super busy with your schedule, your brother, work, and just life, so I'm thankful that you're such a 'go-with-the-flow' baby. You're a short napper (on the days I work) and a long napper (on the days I don't...). *sigh*
At 4 months you've mastered tummy time (although it's still not your most favorite thing) and you have great head control. Time for the Bumbo Boat at bath time!

You LOVE bath time!
The best present EVER in a Christmas stocking!
"MOM! No pictures! Wait 'til I'm decent!"
Evan thought you wanted to play with the boat
*Love*

XO,
