Kyler -- Week 50 (10/27/12-11/2/12)

Our little guy is getting so close to being a year old already! I can hardly believe how fast time has gone, but there are so many things that remind me of how much older he has gotten. Lately, when you ask Kyler to bring you something, he can go and get that specific item. Later in the week, I asked him to bring me a book. Now, his favorite activity seems to be emptying out his library on our living room floor and bringing us a book to read. This a trend that I hope he continues. Kyler has also been exploring where things go when he "puts" them into things. His favorite place to "put" things is the tub, which often has an assortment of things thrown into it while he stands there and looks at them. I think part of this fascination with the tub stems from the fact that he has been missing his time in the water. Even when others are in the tub--including me--he comes in and likes to splash the water.

We had a lot of fun trying pineapple and turnips this week. He liked both of them, and it baffles me that my son would rather eat turnips than pumpkin! Kyler had a lot of fun getting dressed up like a raccoon for Halloween. He tolerated the hood very well and looked adorable walking around with his little tail swishing back and forth. Since he was still getting over a cold, we only visited Grandpa and Grandma's house, but there we got to see cousin KayLynn in her U of M cheerleader outfit. They had fun playing the piano together, and KayLynn really liked Kyler's tail.

Unfortunately, sleeping was not too great this week. On Tuesday, Kyler was really upset and super fussy, refusing to nap and easily tearful--not like him at all. We went into the pediatrician's office and were informed that Kyler had developed a sinus infection and that his molars were coming in. On top of the surgery recovery and the cold, I just felt so sorry for the little guy. Without all the sleep, there was a lot of snuggling on the couch and plenty of cuddle time. It's amazing how much you do not care if you sleep, as long as you are with your little guy, and he is happy in your arms.
