Spilled Milk

What I like about this picture is that it is true and funny... Mostly just true. I giggle today but have cried each time milk spilled. Kyler LOVES to nurse and is no small child. Each spilled ounce was a heartbreaker. Good thing the boy didn't starve due to my clumsiness!

In the Beginning

Well, before there was Kyler there was just us. Kevin and Brandi. No strings, just us. The story goes that Kevin always knew he would marry me since before we even thought of dating. I knew within the first 2 weeks that I was with my soulmate. As our journey continues and our focus remains on our son, I wanted to spotlight the fact that we travel together with a beautiful past and a bright future. Just us.

Walking

So this week is going to be a great start for baby updates. I have to add an entry early because Kyler took his first free willing steps at my families house yesterday during the Super Bowl. We have tricked him into a few steps before, but quite frankly the kid has showed no interest in walking. He is incredibly fast crawling and must figure that he shouldn't fix something that isn't broken. By the way I need to add a prayer here because I have a feeling this is the beginning of the end. He has his own agenda to tend. The walk will turn to run in a blink of an eye and I will be swimming upstream to catch him.....for the rest of my life. I can't help but well up with tears at this sight. My baby. My brand new baby. Walking. Not to mention talking and sassing as well! You should hear this kid when he is telling me off. What is a mother to do?

Blogging for real now....

Okay here we go. New Goal. Weekly blogs for baby Kyler to keep a better journal for him. I have been so sporadic with entries that much information is missing from his first year journal. I hope someday he really enjoys reading about himself from my perspective as a wee one- if not I love to read it so it is win/win no matter what! My angel is sleeping now, thank Goodness. His latest and greatest defiance is not going down for sleep well for Mommy. Daddy can put him out like a light but Mommy has no luck. Sometimes he crawls away and wants to play with eyes he just can't keep open and sometimes he uses nursing to stay up and sometimes he just crys and says I'm not going to sleep. I've tried everything I can think of. I rationalized that he just wants to not miss anything...So why does he go to sleep for Daddy? I just don't know. Well I suppose that if him not going easily off to sleep for me is the hardest part of my day I'll just take a deep breath. Not too bad right?
