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.

Staying Home

Today I had off work and that meant a day home with Kyle. Today reminded me how much I loved this summer staying home all day with Kyle. We had so much fun just hanging out.

We both got to sleep in a few hours and then had some oatmeal for breakfast (he is still not sure about that one). We played and then it was nap time. He took an hour nap in his crib! That is an improvement from this summer. I took this time to clean out his dresser and his closet to put away clothes that no longer fit him. I just could not believe how small he was and I was so sad to see some of my favorite outfits being packed away.

Then it was lunch time and more play time. He is laughing and smiling so much now. I just love to try and make him laugh. Now we are taking our afternoon nap. When he wakes up it will be time to eat and more play time!

Cole was a good dog today, we had some rough days during the summer but he has improved. Other than following me everywhere around the house he has just been napping all day.

I still wish I could stay home, but since I can't... I don't think I would want the situation to be any different. I love my job and I love Kyle's babysitter.

I am so excited to have another day off work next week and I am looking forward to spending the day with Kyle.

Tasting My First Food

Kyle is old enough now to start some real food. Last weekend he had rice cereal. He did great. He was opening his mouth for the spoon and trying to take food off the spoon. He swallows some of the food and the rest gets pushed out of his mouth.




This weekend we tried oatmeal. I don't think he really liked it because he made some funny faces. He did eventually get in some good swallows, while pushing the rest out of his mouth.

Next week we are going to try sweet potatoes....
