My little Chef & his bedroom shoes!

On Sunday Ben found Kyle a pair of bedroom shoes at Wal-Mart. They are brown and have a dog on them. Needless to say Kyle LOVES them!!

Rocking before night night time on Sunday!

On Monday afternoon, I baked some sugar cookies for us to enjoy this week. Kyle did excellent the entire time I was mixing, rolling and cutting them out by patiently sitting in his high chair watching me. (Well I did bribe him with raisins!) Then when I got to the end I gave him a ball of the left over dough. He thought it was the neatest thing!

He was trying to use my cookie cutter....

Oh well... he couldn't figure out the cookie cutter so he decided to wear it on his nose!

It was a lot of fun to do this with him. I have got to keep reminding myself that he is getting old enough to start trying things with me. Maybe we will come up with another activity this weekend!

MiKaley's Birthday Party!

Today we had our first adventure to the Flying Frogs for MiKaley's birthday party. (Happy Birthday MiKaley!!) We had a lot of fun and Kyle enjoyed riding the "truck" and the other rides. It was great to see Amber and family. However I wish I could have gotten to talk a little more but with Mr. "I can't stay still" Kyle there was never a dull or slow moment.



This was some kind of chicken and egg machine. We never played it but I honestly think Kyle stuck his nose to the glass 100 times!

The Weekend

It seems like our weekends fly by.... with mostly cleaning up and running errands and then I look back on Sunday night when I am packing the diaper bag for a new week saying to myself "where did the weekend go?!?" Well this past weekend was no different....

On Saturday - we took Kyle to have his 18 month pictures. He did great! The best part of the entire morning was during the picture session Kyle stood up from the little rock that the photographer had him sitting on, threw his hand up and said "done" and walked out of the room! It was hilarious!

The rest of the afternoon consisted of Ben going to work and Mom and I cleaning out the coat closet, doing laundry and running errands. (I don't know what I would do if Mom did not come down and help me!)

On Sunday - Ben, Kyle and I went to Swainsboro to visit Ben's parents, grandparents and sister. We had a great time and Kyle did wonderful!

Below is a picture of Kyle getting ready for Swainsboro. He found this basket in his room and wanted to wear it! :-)

Bath time

Kyle has always liked bathtime but it seems the older he gets the more fun we have at bathtime. We he was little I always remember being so careful not to get to much water on his face and in his ears now I can barely keep him from constantly putting his head under water. (I know that this is a good thing that he likes water - but it scares me to death!)

Each night after supper, I tell Kyle it is bath time and he is always ready! He stops playing with what ever he is doing and runs to his bath room and if I am not fast enough I hear "c'mon! c'mon!"

Then when he gets in he dumps his toys and lines them up along the bath tub. This has turned into a real activity because once he gets them lined up, he tells me what they are and throws them back in the water one at a time.

After we finish bathing he plays some more and then it is time to get out. Now he runs straight to his bed room and wants to get in his bed to "pretend" he is going night night.

Looking back through pictures tonight I see just how much he has grown in the last year and a half. I found these pictures at bathtime from February 2007. Even then he liked bath time (well most of the time)....

This is one of my favorite expressions! Kyle looks like he is totally OVER the whole bath time situation!

My Little Boy!

Hello! Hope everyone is doing great! Kyle is having a good week. We have been keeping busy with work and school. Kyle's class promoted 8 kids this week but he just missed the promotion by 1 child (they do the promotions by birthdays). I know his time is coming up soon and it makes me very nervous. Of course I want him to continue to learn and grow but at the same time I want him to still be my baby!

Below are a few pictures of Kyle playing Wednesday night after supper.

Kyle playing with one of his favorite things.... his Little People bus! Notice how many people and animals can go in this bus. And all of them have to go through the bus door.

Silly Boy! He was playing peak a boo (with only one eye!)
