The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- Week 37 (7/28/12-8/3/12)

This turned out to be another busy week, but with big excitement at the end of the week--finally getting the keys to our new house! Kyler tried some great summer fruits, starting with peaches and then watermelon. He likes to feed himself, even if that means he wears more of it than is going into his mouth. We had a lot of fun enjoying the weather outside, with Kyler exploring the grass while we washed cars. He was not sure of what to think of it, but then got the courage to crawl across it and taste a few blades of grass.

With all this outdoor activity and feeding himself, Kyler has had to get his hair washed a lot more than he used to. He hates to have water run in his eyes, which seems to be the only time he does not like water. We figured out that the best way to wash his hair is a two-part process of washing the back of his hair while he is sitting up and then draining almost all of the water and have him lay down in the tub so that we can wash the front. He was not so sure about laying down in the water, but we kept the water level so low that even his ears were out of the water, and we were able to make sure the water stayed out of his face.

Kyler and Duncan are becoming even better buddies. Kyler now is pulling up on everything, but his favorite thing to pull up on or chase is Duncan. One day while I was getting dressed, I heard Duncan barking and I found Kyler playing with his dog toys and Duncan holding his "Flippy Flopper" frisbee out for Kyler to get. Oh, a boy and his dog--what fun they will have in the years ahead! Kyler has been getting into everything, and we had to use the large Costco bear as a barricade to keep him from trying to go down the stairs. Now we just need to get moved into the new home and put up some gates!
