little bit of an update on tyler:

for a while now, he's been sleeping about 7-8 hours each night. and before he was put to bed, we'd wake him up from his nap around 11pm, feed him, then put him to bed. but each night, he would struggle to stay awake during his last feeding of the day. so, two nights ago, we decided to feed him one last time around 9pm, bathe him, then put him to bed. and he slept until 8am the next morning w/o waking up during the night!

we tried to feed him rice cereal mixed with breastmilk two days ago. he didn't spit it back up, but he also didn't seem to like it much. we'll try again...

he's also very vocal these days. the volume of his voice has gotten louder showing when he's excited and when he's upset. his personality is starting to really show.

i like sucking on my finger... today, i thought it'd be fun to suck on daddy's hand. but his hand is too big!!!

so, i'm sucking on his finger....

but why won't his finger fit in my mouth like my finger???

what???

don't know which to suck on... so i'm sucking on both pacifier and my finger :)
