Kyler -- Week 14 (2/18/12-2/24/12)

This week Kyler got some "guy-bonding" time while I went to another one of Lynsey's bridal showers. Kyler has been loving his jungle gym and has been grabbing onto things and "throwing" them when he lets go. I don't think that he has been intentionally doing this, but it is pretty funny to see the distance that he can get! When I got home from the shower, Kyler was not really all that happy to see me, and I figured out that it was because my hair smelled like fire/smoke from the indoor fire they had at the shower. After I was clean, Peanut loved being near me again.

On Saturday night, Grandpa and Grandma Wiersum offered to babysit so that Ryan and I could go out on our first date since Kyler was born! It was really strange, but also nice for us to be out and about without our little man. Kyler was having a great time splashing in the tub when we got back, and he barely seemed to notice that we had left. He slept through church again on Sunday and for most of the drive back to Illinois. I think that he plays and has so much fun visiting people that he forgets to nap like he should!

We did have one night when he woke up at 5am, but other than that, we can usually expect him to sleep through the night. Kyler has also become even better at grabbing onto things, sitting up with even less support, doing tummy time on the Boppy, and even protesting a little when I took a toy away from him. He is smiling and responding to people so much more and is already becoming such a little man.

So focused!

All this gym time is hard work

Here is the ring that Kyler just did not want to let go of

We still love bath time, but now we love towels too!
