Tyler is sitting in his doorway jumper right now and is being amazingly quiet. We went to Babies R Us and I sort of went on a mini shopping spree for Tyler yesterday. But I came home and will probably return like a third of the stuff because #1, Tyler is not old enough to enjoy what I got him or #2, some baby toys are lame and not educational at all! I was hesitant to buy the jumper because the maximum weight limit is 25 pounds and Tyler is already 21 pounds so I thought we just wouldn't get enough use out of it but then I thought that my little fatty could use a little bit of exercise and got it. I don't really think he knows that it's a JUMPer quite yet because he just sits in it like a bump on a log. haha.

Three things about Tyler:

Tyler is the happiest baby I know! Well, I don't know too many babies to compare with, but he is much happier than I would expect a baby to be. He actually wakes up smiling and he smiles when he sees one of us look at him. He RARELY cries.

Tyler is completely enthralled with Jason. I don't care how many people are in a room talking, but he will zone in on Jason's voice and look in that direction like he's looking for him. He definitely smiles bigger for Jason when he sees him than for me! (And I'm the one feeding him!)

Tyler already has object permanence! (He is a week shy of five months.) When something is not there, he will look for it. For example, this morning, Jason was playing peekaboo with Tyler and went into the bathroom. Tyler kept looking in the direction for about five minutes until Jason came out, like he was waiting for him. Amazing!

Oh and one last thing. This is kind of sad. :( Tyler is most likely (98% sure) going get a helmet for his flat head. Poor thing. We noticed when Tyler was about 2 months old that he head was flat in the back. I tried laying him on his side but he wouldn't have it and always went back to sleeping on his back. I did some research online about it and read it could be corrected with a helmet. Jason was totally against it at first because he thought it was cruel to put Tyler in a helmet. Especially cause it is a purely cosmetic procedure and doesn't affect Tyler developmentally in any way. Well, then we found out that through Jason's hospital, it would be completely paid for...about $4,000. (which is unheard of in a case like Tylers because it is a totally elective procedure.) Well, I used that as more amo for my cause. I mean, what would it hurt to try it if it's free, right? Jason gave in somewhat and we went to our first appointment and the doctor recommended it. I won't believe it until the helmet is actually on Tyler's head but it seems like he will have to wear it for about two months. During the two months, I plan on staying home as much as possible. Not out of embarrassment (I really couldn't care less what other people think!), but because it is hot and I don't want Tyler to get a rash and I figure it will be most comfortable for Tyler to be at home. This said because if you want to see us, you're going to have to come to us! :)

Well, Tyler is still a happy bump on a log in his jumper...dude, it's been ten minutes of quiet...definitely worth the money! :)
