Tyke has found his voice and talks, a lot! His talking is mostly happy but when he gets mad he lets you know. His coos are super cute and we love having conversations with him. He smiles a lot when we coo back. When he starts getting fussy his tone changes and if he doesn't get the attention he's looking for then he will start the crying. He's in charge at this house and he knows it!
Little Mr is getting really good at controlling his hands, especially his right hand. He concentrates so hard on grasping things. He's a very determined little guy. He LOVES his play mat. His favorite toys on it are the mirror (he thinks he's pretty darn cute, and he's right!) and the dangling elephant. He smiles and talks to himself in the mirror and when he gets bored with that he grabs the elephant and tries to pull it down to his mouth. He gets super excited and kicks his little legs to the point where he kicks himself right off the mat.
Tyke can be a couch potato at times. I have mixed feelings about it but we do our best to only let him watch kid shows. Disney Jr is our channel of choice and little man is most interested in Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He doesn't really get into any of the other cartoons but when that one comes on he zones out. It's a cute show and it's nice to have him distracted for a few minutes.
Tyke is officially mobile I suppose you could say. He gets where he's going by kicking his legs, arching his back and shaking his head back and forth. He has a major bald spot on the back of his head from all that shaking and moving. He spins circles in his bed while sleeping. In the living room I've noticed that he usually heads towards the couch or the entertainment center. I don't think he intentionally does it but that's where he usually ends up.
Tyke LOVES his bath time! He's starting to get more active in the water but he mostly just sits in his chair and stares at us with a huge grin. Oh how I love his mug!
Our little guy is getting really strong. He does so good at tummy time. He holds his head up for a good portion of it. Just today I noticed that while I had him lying in my lap he preferred to sit, and sit he did, without much help at all. He holds his head up really well when being held. His little hands are always moving and grabbing. If I get my hands close to him, for example giving him his binky, he'll grab on with both hands and won't let go. I love it! I also love that while riding in the car, if he gets fussy, all I have to do is reach back and give him a finger to hold on to and he calms right down. He likes holding my hand and I love it! I can't get enough of this boy!
Tyke is a good little traveler. He's always done well in the car but this past weekend on our trip to St. George he was an angel! He slept quite a bit of the drive but when he was awake he just talked up a storm and played with his rattle. At this point in time he doesn't fight us when we put him in his seat. His Aunt Jenny made him another car seat blanket and he loves it! He's always got a handful of it and pulls it up to his cheeks. It's the cutest thing.
I think it's safe to say (and I hope I don't jinx us) that our little guy officially sleeps through the night. He goes down around 10 p.m. and sleeps until 9 a.m. Of course that's changed this week with me going back to work, I wake him at 7 a.m. feed him, get him dressed for the day and take him to Steph's. He pretty much falls right back to sleep as soon as we get in the car. He's a light sleeper when it comes to naps but he definitely makes up for it at night. He's always been a good little nighttime sleeper, only waking once around 3:30 a.m. but sleeping through the night has been SO nice!
We seriously have the best baby ever! He's so good natured and happy and perfect in every way. He's a little sweetheart and we love him more than anything!
