The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- Week 42 (9/1/12-9/7/12)

Labor Day weekend was a lot of fun, especially since we had our great friends Matt, Becky, and Louisa to share in all the adventures. We went shopping for shrubs and other plants out in West Olive with Grandma and Grandpa before our guests arrived. On Sunday, we headed out to Lake Michigan to play in the water and have a picnic. Kyler absolutely loved the water and giggled or laughed pretty much the whole time. He loved the waves, watching the people, and even putting his feet in the water. On Labor Day, our guests had a great walk with us, but then had to head out on their long drive back to Illinois.

At the start of the week, we had our first morning with Levi at our house! With Levi to play with, Kyler has been learning to share and not go after toys that are being played with by others. Ryan teaches a class on Tuesday nights, so we made sure to video chat with him that afternoon. Kyler thought it was pretty fun to see Daddy on the computer screen, but all he wanted to do was grab the computer. On Wednesday, Kyler started making all types of fun noises, including "Ba, ba, ba, ba" or something similar. It is so much fun to hear him chatting while pulling books off the shelves or racing behind his dino toy. On Thursday, he started to be able to turn said dino toy on his own! He often would cry or whine when he got stuck and needed assistance to have it moved, but now he can do it all on his own--what a big boy! Kyler also discovered that he likes vacuum cleaners and wanted to climb up the machine, much to the disdain of Duncan, who thinks the vacuum is pure evil. So funny!
