There is so much new going on with Kyle, but it's hard to remember/get it down when it happens. We have some great new pictures I'm hoping to get downloaded later today.
Kyle is toddling around everywhere now, climbing on everything, and eating a lot of real food. We've both been able to adjust to the 3x/day nursing schedule and he's sleeping through the night once again.
Diaper changes often happen while Kyle's standing up, since having him lay down (without some additional help), is no longer an option. Last night Kyle climbed in to his rocking chair and sat down. He loves his little chair! This morning he watched Sesame Street while sitting in his chair. He says the word "dad" consistently, referring to Kevin, and is noticing everyone who has something on their head, using the sign for "hat" to tell us about it.
Kyle's first birthday and party were this past weekend. It was really nice to see everyone who's been a part of his life this past year and celebrate! We had pizza and cake, although Kyle really wanted nothing to do with his cake! We tried again at home on Monday night, but once again he just turned his nose up at it.
Yesterday, we took Kyle for his 1 year checkup at the pediatrician's office. He is 31 inches long, 21 1/2 lbs, and I forget his head circumference, but it's in the 75th percentile. For his height, Kyle is in the 95th percentile, but for his weight he's like in the 30th percentile. Our tall and skinny boy, no surprise to me when I look at Kevin now and remember myself growing up.
Kyle is more adorable everyday as he walks around, discovers new things about the house (and we discover new ways to babyproof!), and talks, talks, talks. Just this morning he took his alphabet magnets off of the fridge and tried them on the oven! I thought that was pretty smart of him to see if the magnets would stick to other surfaces in the kitchen.
Jason, Kirsten, and Ellie are probably in Jordan by now. They stopped by for a little while the other night, the kids played, and we did some catching up. Thankfully, most of their family is still in Arizona, so we'll probably see them at least once a year while Jason and Kevin are finishing up their degrees.
Kyle should have a new little cousin here in the next 2 weeks or so. Anastasia is due on September 7th (I think) with baby #2 for their family. I think it's going to be a lot of fun as the kids get older, with all of our kids just a year apart. Cameron, her firstborn is 2 years old, Kyle is 1 year old, and soon this new baby! I doubt we'll continue the trend next year, as we'd like to wait a couple more years before having a new addition to our family.
Alright, that's about all! I have new professional pictures of Kyle I'll be putting in the mail later this week!
