This and that

Kyle broke a tooth through this week...I'm not sure when, but I discovered it on Monday. Also, he's been throwing tantrums of sorts. Just today we went to get pictures taken and he broke down; the photographers asked how old he was. When we told them he was a year, they kept saying how he was already acting like a 2 year old. I can only pray that his "terrible twos" aren't starting a year early! Regretfully, we only got 5 pictures, and all but one were family pictures since Kyle refused to sit and smile by himself. Oh well. We'll try again at Christmas.

We purchased some bowls that suction to Kyle's high chair tray and he's been eating dinner out of them, sometimes with a spoon and sometimes with his hands. It hasn't been as messy as I anticipated.

Attempting to wean Kyle from nursing is taking just about all the gusto I have everyday. My goal is 3 times per day and I'm attempting to give him soy milk when he asks to nurse more than that, but he's terribly insistent. I'm a wuss when he screams bloody murder and I'm the only one around.

In other news, our washer was out of commission for a week, maybe longer, but is now working again. We were in Flagstaff this weekend for a wedding, had a chance to see Kristin, and go to our old church. It was a nice time all in all, but quite a bit of driving for 2 1/2 days.

Kellie and the twins are stopping by tomorrow. I realized when she called to get together that we haven't had any babies over since Kirsten and Ellie left for Egypt. I've tried to invite our neighbors over, who have a 1 year old girl, but I must be overstepping some Brazilian custom because they will never set foot in our house. Oh well.

I was wondering if you were thinking about weaning Kyle. Ellie only wants to nurse now when she is going to sleep, but I think we're ready to give it up completely. Do you have anything that you've read that you would recommend to me? You seem to always have good resources :)
