Last Summer

It is easy to forget just how Chubby my baby was last year! He at this point has had no outside food or drink..... Unbelievable

Whirl Wind Month


It is easy to get away from writing. I need a beeper that goes off every week and says, "Drop what ever you are doing and write."
This whole month has been crazy. To start, Kyler had his first over night away from his mother. I should say his mother had her first night away from Kyler. Kevin took me to Jackpot for my birthday and Kyler stayed at home with Grandma Honey and Grandpa Bill. He had a blast and didn't even begin to miss us. They ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse- his favorite I might add. They played and watched movies and Kyler was devastated the next day when his Grandma Honey went home.
We have gone to several BBQ's and played with Ashton, Greyson, Teague, River, Warren, and Cohen. His big hit with the Adults is, "Get Tough!" He tightens his fists and says, "oooh-ah!"
He is learning to run which is very cute but a little dangerous. He still teeters back and forth because he runs with straight legs! Absolutely Hilarious!
Kyler comes out with at least one new word each day! My favorite phrase is, "Here I go!"
He finally mastered the animal book, complete with picture recognition and the corresponding sound they make. My personal favorite is the snorting of the pig.
Although capable of saying drink, Kyler still insists on saying, "oyee oyee oy." He also knows to turn on the tub for Shaka when he needs an oyee oyee oy. This is about the only time he shows any amount of empathy for anyone else. I think that my son is brilliant, he is loving, he is happy, he is outgoing and so receptive.... he is not empathetic. He could care less if someone else is sad or mad or glad really- unless they are glad because of something that he is doing at the moment! I don't know how to teach his to care about others' feelings.... I don't think that he doesn't care per say, maybe it is that doesn't think that any one else is capable of any emotion other than pride for him =).
This kid is still in love with a bath, and has cut so many teeth this last little while and there are 4 canines on the way!
Kyler also endured his first cold ever after our vacation to Las Vegas =(. He wasn't crabby just a little snotty (no pun intended!)
