1/2 a Year

Kyle is 6 months old. I can't believe that he is that old. Time is going by so fast. I have LOVED every moment watching him grow and change so much. He is now sitting up on his own, grabbing for EVERYTHING (he loves my cell phone and watches), eating off a spoon, saying "da da" and shaking his head no. 

Today he had his well baby visit and here are his stats:

Weight: 19 lbs. 1 oz

Length: 26 1/2" 

He was going to get several vaccinations and a flu shot today but did not because he has a cold. He has a runny nose and is congested. So Brian and I are not getting full nights sleep right now :) 

He loves to eat off a spoon. Brian and I are making all his food and really enjoying it. He has had apples, squash, pears, sweet potatoes, and bananas. He eats 3 times a day about 2 servings a meal.  

Trick or Treat!

This was Kyle's first Halloween, he celebrated with no candy but with lots of costumes. I don't think he cared too much for the dressing up part, what he really wanted was candy. We did not take him trick or treating this year. Maybe next year.

Here are a few pictures of the many costumes Kyle had this Halloween.

His pumpkin outfit.


Here he is modeling his pea pod costume.
I think he is wondering what is going on.


His lion costume.

I wonder what he will be next year for Halloween????

Rock n Roll

Uncle Bryan has a special guitar for Kyle. It is just his size (in a few years). Kyle got to try out his guitar this weekend. I think he was really interested in it. He was playing some music for us but I think he could use those lessons from Uncle Bryan.

Kyle is ready to Rock n Roll!

Before we know it Kyle will be ready to take lessons from Uncle Bryan.

Kyle says "Thank you Uncle Bryan, I can't wait to take my first lesson!!"

The Forgotten One

All of my posts are about Kyle or Cole, we do have another family member, Pedro our cat! He was king of the house and then we brought home a puppy and shortly after that a baby. He is a strange cat. He is SUPER friendly, loves attention and will come when you call his name.
He now spends his days avoiding the dog and seeking attention.

We Are Rollin'

Today I was in the kitchen cleaning a pair of poopie PJ's and Brian said "HE DID IT!!" I came in the dinning room and Kyle had ROLLED OVER!!! So mommy missed the first time because she was cleaning up poop!
I had to see if he would do it again... and he did several more times. The first couple of times he would have a face of surprise, but after mommy and daddy put him on his belly to see if he would do it again (several times), he had a look of "what is the big deal mommy and daddy!"

I Love my Doggie

Cole and Kyle have been shown an increased interest in each other lately. Cole especially in Kyle, now that Kyle is eating food. He tries to come around after to lick Kyle clean.

Cole has not shown he is jealous of Kyle except when Brian is playing with Kyle. But then again Cole gets jealous if Brian is showing anyone attention other then him.

It is getting harder to keep Cole away from Kyle now that Kyle is laying on the floor playing more. We have lots of baby gates around the house for Cole. Cole is still learning how BIG he is and where his feet are. I think that as Kyle gets older him and Cole will be best friends.

Here are some cute pictures of Kyle and Cole.

5 Pound Beast!

This is the story of how Cole became a wuss and Lily became the 5 pound beast.

It all started when Cole got a huge bone as a gift from his dad...

Then his cousin Lily came over to visit...
Cole wanted to play games with Lily but Lily just wanted eat Cole's bone. This is what happens when you interrupt Lily when she is eating a bone. *Click on the pictures to get the full effect of the 5lb beast.


* Note the growling you hear in this video is not Cole it is Lily.

Lily ended up leaving that night with a piece of Cole's bone. When she got home she had a fight with her sister Daisy and unfortunately for Lily, Daisy won. Cole was sad that he did not get to play any games with his cousin Lily.

Lessons we learned from this story...
1. Do NOT try to play with Lily when she is eating a bone.
2. Send home pieces of Cole's bone to share with ALL of his cousins.
3. Do not leave your giant bone laying around the house when your cousin Lily is coming over.
