8 Months

Tyler is now 8 months old and is adding to his accomplishments list seemingly daily!  He is the sweetest thing and so easy going.  Unless he's hungry or tired, it's seemingly impossible to upset him.  He doesn't complain at all when we take things away from him, which is becoming a common occurrence now that he is so mobile.  He laughs when we pull his thumb out of his mouth, even though it's his favorite toy.  He will just sit and stare at you until he catches your eye, and then he rewards you with the biggest grin.  I am so in love with this happy little guy!

When we first opened this toy from Santa I thought it might be a little too early for it, but Tyler is proving me wrong.  He started activating the spinner right away, and likes trying to catch the cars while they are spinning around.

Timmy was happy to show Tyler how to put the cars down the ramp, and Tyler did it for himself right after!

Tyler seemed to change a lot in the last week especially.  Tim says he is crawling, Timmy called it "scootin" and I'm going with Timmy's.  Tyler is not up on his knees yet, so I'm going to pretend he's still a little baby and he's not crawling!  He can get to anything he wants though.

It's funny, Timmy has been dying for Tyler to be able to play with him and chase him, but now that Tyler can get to him, I am hearing a lot of "Tyyyyyylerrrrr, you can't have that, this is for big boys, stop Tyler, I'm doinin somethin." And so it begins... :)  I have a feeling there will be a lot of moments this year where Timmy will jump to the forefront.

Luckily, he just seems to need a gentle reminder, and he will give Tyler his time as well!

Just like his big brother, Tyler's favorite first crawling targets are cell phones and remotes.

Tyler is also initiating games, with us and for himself as well.  He chased this ball around for 5 minutes!
