Sorry it's been a while

Hey there people,
We hope that the holidays were wonderful for you and that you are still holding onto your New Years resolutions!! I know that I never make any because they are just too hard to keep!!

Now onto Tyson. Where do I start? First of all...last Sunday he turned 6 months!! Not too sure how long he is, but according to our scale at home, he weighs 24 pounds!! He goes to the doc on Friday and we should have more accurate measurements then. He has made leaps and bounds since I last blogged.

He now eats cereal as much as three times a day and usually 6 ounces of milk at a setting. About 3 weeks ago he really "mastered" rolling over at will. Sometimes a complete 360* roll and a shocked look on his face when he sees he's exactly where he started. On a trip to Marco Island in Florida he picked up on blowing his tongue and making spitting sounds. "Aunt" Jane taught him that. While we were there he had so many first time experiences. First flight...did wonderful. Slept most of the way there and back. First ocean experience. Didn't really like the sound of the waves...kind of scared him. But loved the water. It was a little cold though. The water at the condo was 81*, so he was really digging that. Saw ocean fish and watched while we cleaned the days catch and all the Pellican's coming in for the scraps. He was just great for his first flying vacation. Lots of help with babysitting duties between Nicole, Alaina and Jane. Even Mark was more than happy to help out in any way. What a family...thank you Wastl's for inviting us.

Now Tyson is really discovering his tongue. Lots of attempts at words, but no luck yet. Really watches your mouth as you try to sound out starter words like "Mommy" and "Daddy". He is doing a lot of spinning around on the floor to help him get where he needs to go. Kind of more "fidgity" and we strap him in a lot more often now for fear of him slipping out of seats. No big deal to do, but times are changing with him. All strangers are greeted with a smile as soon as he feels that mom and dad approve. It's funny...he almost always looks at us to see what we think of the new people. Kind of cute.

Sitting up and really in control of his head now. Super attentive and also likes to try and hold the bottle and feed himself as much as possible. Yeah...all the help to Mommy and Daddy is very welcome.

Hoping the New Year has started off well for you all. I will try and be more on the ball with the blogging. Thanks for your patience.

Bruce
