The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- Week 24 (4/28/12-5/4/12)

There were some fun visits and major milestones this week! Grandpa and Grandma Wiersum came to visit Saturday morning to help with packing and had a great time watching Kyler show off his jumperoo skills. We enjoyed a nice walk and taking plenty of pictures. We even took a trip to Menards and found one of the now favorite toys--a pinwheel! Kyler loves it, but even though he wants to grab it so badly, it would be "Goodbye, pinwheel!" in the hands of our little man. Later that night, we attended the final Biophilic party for ONU. Kyler loves to visit with all the faculty and students, and he tends to be the center of any party he goes to. There are so many great students who love Kyler that we will miss when we move, but we hope to always stay in touch with them.

The major milestone this week was learning to roll over onto his tummy from his back on Monday! He was so good at it and could not stop practicing. It was fun to watch him work at it and perfect it as the day went on. He did get frustrated not being able to get back onto his back, but after lots of practice he mastered that on Wednesday. He is now a rolling machine and unfortunately does not stop when he should be going to sleep at night. All the rolling keeps him awake longer and makes getting him to sleep a big challenge because he gets so over tired. We have had a lot of nights where putting Kyler to bed has become a whole evening job that requires two people! It's just a phase though, and we know he is proud of what he can do--because we are too!
