After a fun couple of months with many holidays, it was nice to have a little down time and just enjoy my boys. We had record amounts of snow and cold temperatures though, which made our explorations outside a bit more difficult. I think that Kyler handled the cabin fever pretty well, much better than his mother at least. We had many play dates and visits to help fill the post holiday void, including a large celebration for Devin's baptism. In Kyler, we have a great ball of energy with a wicked smart brain and big kind heart. Here are some of the highlights from this month:
- He is very good at identifying everything (e.g., "orca" for a toy killer whale, all the instruments in the Baby Einstein orchestra DVD).
- He likes to go to "Jesus church," which means he knows the important reason we go.
- He named one of his Little People after his friend Cohen, and it is always the same one.
- He had fun baking muffins with me, often looking in the oven to see what they were doing.
- He has not seemed to mind when Devin takes a nap in his crib.
- He enjoyed playing with a Barbie house, calling the hot tub a "tubby."
- He started to take naps much later in the day, closer to 2 pm now.
- He loves to ride the carousel at the mall, often saying "up, up, down, down" while riding.
- He has FINALLY started saying "Mommy" for when he needs me.
- He had a lot of fun walking around grandpa's work, meeting lots of people.
- He continues to love unpacking groceries, often calling them "heavy big."
- He said, "I tooted!" while laughing in front of three little girls during a play date after passing gas--I guess this starts pretty young, huh?
- He woke up covered in vomit after being sick at night, but did not even cry.
- He tried to explain to me "no diaper" when I woke him up one morning...only to find that, yes, he was put to bed without a diaper on (oops, Daddy...).
- After eating something spicy, he kept saying "biting tongue" and wanted mommy to "kiss it" while sticking it out.
- He loves to have me "nuzzle" his neck after reading that word in a Dr Seuss book.
- He had his nails trimmed too short, and it bled a lot!
