The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- September 2014

Kyler has been growing up so much, and I cannot believe that he is going to be three in such a short time. He has become so funny and loves to be around people. We had a lot of fun staying in a hotel for the first time with the kids for Keith and Nicole's wedding, and Kyler loved it. Kyler travels really well and just loves to meet people. Along with all of this fun comes the realization that he is growing up so fast. He has started to get out of his bed on his own, often having shorter naps and getting up earlier than I would like. Kyler has been showing us his stubborn side as well, and I often cannot believe how whiny he can be if he really wants something. We all continue to grow and learn as each month passes, but here are some of my favorite memories from September.

We had a Labor Day celebration and got Kyler his own ice cream cone (a whole waffle cone)--he ate the whole thing!
He loves to show Devin all kinds of toys, but especially letters and his zoo animals.
He has loved pretending to be a baby so he can be cuddled.
He had a great time helping me make guacamole and kept calling it "macaroni."
We had a candlelight dinner together and saw a rainbow for the first time after a storm.
When he gets ready for a bath, he says that he wants to "take my dress off, Mommy."
He loves to play Wii games with Daddy, especially Coconut Mall course on Mario Kart.
He has fun "doing" my hair for me.
He went to nursery for the last time...Mommy welled up for a moment!
He did a dance that looked like the ballet dance in the Wiggles "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Great Grandpa Tony Bebej came over and had a great time playing trains with him.
After coughing a lot at night, he took a 3+ hour nap and then told me, "No want to get up, Mommy"
He went to BSF for the first time, and when I asked him what he learned he told me, "Jesus...he a treasure, Mommy," which just melted my heart.
He had a great time with "my new friends" when we had Calvin students over for dinner.
He sat in the chair all by himself and listened well during his haircut.
He had his first time going to Little Lambs at church and had no fear of going up in front of the whole congregation for the children's message.
He loves to wear matching clothes with his brother.
He has become so good at riding bikes, scooters, and other outdoor toys.
He went to Bible story hour during coffee break and started singing "Jesus Loves Me" and "Deep and Wide" in the car.
He did not nap the whole 3+ hour car ride to Nicole and Keith's wedding, but loved reading books the whole time.
He had a great time in the hotel with the elevator and jumping on the beds. We snuggled and had a great time "sleeping," while Kyler hogged most of the bed.
He loved going to the wedding and seeing all his fun cousins and family.
He likes to watch Monsters Inc. and actually will sit through a lot of it.
He said, "I make him happy, Mommy," when he brought a toy over to Devin.
After getting his flu vaccine, we both got ice cream cones.
He had a great time at the Calvin biology picnic, where he hung out with friends and students.
He had a great time with his babysitter Abby, and right away the next morning, he asked when she could come back.
He has been coloring pictures on the iPad all by himself.
