Tyler turns eight months

Tyler turned eight months on January 4. Time is really flying with this little boy. He is the chubbiest, happiest, most wiggly baby I have ever had. He literally does not hold still for one second. He is always reaching, twisting, bouncing and moving. He hates to lay down. When he's being held he insists upon standing. He will not bend his body. Right at his eight month mark he figured out how to sit up reliably and now enjoys sitting on a blanket on the floor with his bucket of toys dumped out in front of him to explore. Since our return from Utah he has not really liked his ExerSaucer. Tyler is not really sure about food. He is hit and miss when it comes to eating. He will always take a piece of fruit or other food item to chew on and explore. He loves the mesh food chewing things. Tyler's sleeping is still not consistent. He wakes up a couple of times a night many nights still but I have just let him cry it out rather than getting up with him.
On January 4, Tyler started wearing his DocBand to reshape his head. The torticulus in the left side of his neck caused a large flat spot to develop on the back right side of his head. It affected the symmetry of the sides of his face and the heights of his ears as well. He will wear the band for 12-15 weeks. I have to take him to Phoenix bi-weekly for adjustment appointments. He is tolerating the band well so far. He doesn't seem to care about it and no complications have developed in this first week. Hopefully it stays that way.

Hey Linds, I heard something about you guys moving, is that true? What's the story? Also, if you guys are down here all the time give me a call I'll get you into the zoo or children's museum.
