Kyler -- Month 15 (1/18/13-2/17/13)

It was another busy month for Kyler! He tried many new things, had lots of visitors, and even gained a new cousin! One of the first things that he learned this month was how to kiss people goodbye. It is always cute and nice to get a little affection from this little one, but he has still not mastered the "closed mouth" kiss, often leaving the recipient with a pretty wet cheek. At meal time, Kyler began to fold his hands when we ask him to pray, and even though he may only keep them folded for a short time, we still love it. Kyler has liked to "blow kisses" or pretend to eat food with his hands during meal time. He also began to go down the stairs during this time, learning to sit on his "buns" when we ask him to. He spent many hours just going up and down the stairs with Mommy and Daddy.

We had some great visits from Uncle Bob and Aunt Dawn, and later Papa and Grammy with Uncle Dave, Aunt Kami, and cousin Kathryn (who will be a student at Hope next year). Kyler loves to show off for his visitors and has so much fun bringing them toys and trying to make them laugh. At one point, we had a pizza party with cousin KayLynn, where Kyler's long hair ended up in bows (yes, that would be his Mommy's doing). A few days later, Kyler also got to meet his newest cousin (KayLynn's baby sister Mekinley) at the hospital. Though he was not too interested in her right then, I know that they will become great friends just like Kyler and KayLynn.

Kyler continued to love being out in the snow, climbing on anything that he could (including the new couch), and trying new foods, including a new fave--pomegranate seeds! Though they can be messy, he eats them like candy, and we can barely keep enough of them on his plate. Kyler began transitioning more and more into having only one nap in the afternoon, but even on those days, he still had mornings where he was sleepy and almost asking for a nap. One time he even took his soccer ball with him to bed. Our little boy always keeps things busy and fun!

He loves cottage cheese... Yum!

Does this kid look excited about cars or what!

"What do you mean I have something on my face?"

"Okay, time to bust some kneecaps!" Uh-oh...

Real men can rock bows, and Ky can even handle the pink polka-dot kind!

"Gotta get my miles in before nap time"

Getting so good at drinking from a cup

"Uncle Bob makes me laugh!"

"Yes, I know I am cute"

This little boy loves his puffs

Had a great time with Uncle Bob and Aunt Dawn!

Snuggling with Mommy on the new couch... I wish these moments could last forever!
