We had a lot of firsts this week, including adding breakfast to Kyler's meal plan. We started out the week at Lori's family's cottage. Kyler had a great time playing in their kiddie pool, but also going into the lake. He was not sure what to think of the sand at first, keeping one of his feet off the sand at all times. He did not love his first boat ride at the beginning because the life jacket was in his face, but after I figured out how to pull it down, he was all smiles. Kyler had a great time hanging out with his cousin KayLynn and playing with all kinds of different toys. He had a great time on the swing and played in the exersaucer (which he could not figure out why it did not bounce like his jumperoo).
Kyler also had a great time trying lots of new foods, including his first finger food--puffs! He loves puffs and has started to get the hang of how to get them into his mouth. Kyler also got to try another new food--potatoes. He has found lots of new things to play with, including laundry baskets, and has mastered going up the one stair in Grandma and Grandpa's living room. Kyler has also found that watching Grandpa's fish tank is a lot of fun, but he keeps trying to touch the fish through the glass.
Kyler visited lots of new places this week. We went to the
Hudsonville farmers market for the first time and got a lot of fresh produce for baby food. We went to visit our new house and show Kyler what his new room would look like, but before we could leave, Kyler spit up all over the new carpet. I guess he wanted to leave his mark in the new home. We also had a great friend invite us to visit
Sandy Pines, where my family used to spend lots of summer days swimming, boating, and spending time family and friends. It was bittersweet to be there; it was great to take Kyler to visit a place that is so dear to my childhood, yet sad to know that he will not have the same experiences there. But whatever Kyler's summers hold, I sure they will include lots of fun, family, and love.
