The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- March 2014

There were a lot of changes for Kyler this month, with the biggest being his move from the crib to a "big boy bed" that we all like to call the "cool bed." He has been really liking the space to have so many blankets and other cuddly things to join him when he sleeps. There are times when we watch him in the monitor but cannot find his little body in all the pillows, blankets, animals, and sheets! Kyler also had a really bad fever in the middle of the month that made for days of difficult behavior. He started to scream in the middle of the night and wake up really early as well, which made for a tricky transition with the "cool bed" about a week after he moved into it. Here are a few other things that happened this month:

We went to play with cousins at a green house, where they could play with outdoor toys away from the snow.
He had fun playing with a flashlight in the "big bed" under blankets.
He walked home in the dark after visiting friends and called the stars "moons."
He comes up with really silly names for many of his stuffed animals.
He has started to tell Daddy "go to work" when he does not want to be around him. Poor Daddy...
He loves to match and count things, including all his shoes.
While driving and singing in the car, Kyler said, "No singing, Mommy." I guess I really do sound bad.
When asked who his best friend was, Kyler replied, "Mommy, Daddy, Devin, and Kyler!"
He has unfortunately started pushing a lot and has been in a lot of timeouts because of it.
He loves fish sticks...gross! [Editorial note from Ryan: says Melissa!]
He had a great time teasing his uncle Matt and now seems to call him "Uncle Butt" all the time.
During his fever times, he was shivering in the tub and had a temp of about 102 for a few days.
After eating some "spicy food," he was upset and stuck his tongue out asking Mommy to "kiss it."
While making a sandwich, Ky noticed an elk on the butter container and called it a "peanut butter goat."
We got a large orange ball that Kyler loves to bounce on and do "core exercises."
Kyler made Rice Krispie treats with Mommy, but all he wanted to do was eat marshmallows.
He developed a "secret" handshake with Daddy: fist, explosion, tickle monster!
He has taken pictures off the wall during nap time...an interesting find on the monitor.
He enjoyed going to the Frederik Meijer Gardens to see the butterflies a few times.
