My little dare devil

Yesterday I caught Kyle climbing on the rocking chair in his room trying to get into his crib! That is very dangerous! It may be time to move him to a bed.

Kyle's Favorite Words (20 mos)

Kyle's current favorite words are:
Sock
Apple
Peekaboo

Kyle can read!!

We have two animal books that Kyle really likes. He will turn the pages and say the correct animal sound as he "reads" me the book before bed. It is really cute!

Outside

Yesterday, Kyle was standing at the back door reaching for the doorknob. I asked him if he wanted to go outside. He just stared at me. I asked him if he could say "outside" he said "no". I then asked if he could say "shoes" (he was barefoot). He grinned, walked to me, said "shoes," and sat in my lap to put them on. Later that evening, Kyle walked to the front door and said "outside?" The little stinker can say "outside"!

Cars

Kyle and I were playing in his room last night before bed and he was pushing a car back and forth making car sounds and saying "Honk, Honk!" I'm still not sure what he was honking at, maybe his cup of milk, but it was so cute!

Kyle and Trains

Last night I was getting Kyle ready for bed and he, without prompting, pretended to be a train (or to be riding in one, I'm not sure)! He's got a good imagination for a 19 month old!

Words

I was helping Jay make dinner and Kyle was underfoot so Jay picked him up and said "Let's go talk about what words you know!" Kyle responded "Moo!"

Aug 14th -16th

Kyle can open a coke can!

August 13, 2010

Jay took Kyle to the circus with Jim, Juli, Hannah, Sarah, Dorian and Mary. Thanks for the tickets Jim! Kyle had a great time! He enjoyed watching the dogs jump through hoops, and the other animal tricks. Apparently, he was not impressed with the skill of the tightrope walkers. I'll have to get Jay to post some pictures. Dorian took a good one of Kyle eating popcorn!

August 2010

Kyle has learned to turn the crank on the jack-in-the-box! I am very proud of my little boy! He has started bringing Jay and I books to read to him more often and will sit and listen to most of them!

Kyle at 17 months

Kyle is much more of a little boy than a baby. I think it's time he graduates to a booster seat. Yesterday I thought dinner was over, but Kyle decided to sit in my chair at the table to finish his dinner. He looked so cute sitting at the table.


Kyle's new words are "neigh" for horse and last night he fell asleep saying "uh-oh." I don't typically say uh-oh, so I am curious who taught him that. He says "row, row" if he wants me to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

Kyle at 16 months

Here are a few things I want to make sure I remember about Kyle.
1. His two favorite songs are “If You’re Happy and You Know It” (the stomp your feet verse) and “Old MacDonald” (he loves to sing E, I, E, I, over and over).
2. He can drink out of a regular cup, but is a little messy.
3. He loves ice.
4. He likes to climb on tables and chairs, but is not allowed.
5. He knows that cows say moo and chickens say cluck, cluck.
6. He loves to eat fruit (blueberries, strawberries, bananas, apples, peaches).
7. I think that he beleives all backyards should have dogs in them. (I think this because he asks where the dog is if there is not one in the yard.)

Kyle and Hannah Eating Watermelon

I'm sure if you are on Facebook, you have already seen this, but I just had to post it on the blog too.

Kyle recognizes trucks

Jay went to Dickies for lunch with a friend the other day. Kyle saw a truck and said "vroom, vroom."

Kyle at 15 months (part 2)

I almost forgort. Kyle can feed himself with a spoon! I tried to get a video of this amazing event, but of course, when the cammera comes out the spoon and bowl are thrown on the floor. The effect was very dramatic, but not what I was going for.

Kyle at 15 months

Kyle is such a cute kid. He loves to walk backwards and laugh as I "chase" him threatening to tickle him. He also likes to go down the slide on his stomach. His two favorite books are Bubbles, Bubbles and a specific book about farm animals. He loves playing outside, especially in the sandbox.

April 16th

Last Friday we went to Fort Worth. The Botanical Gardens were great and Kyle loved walking around. He was very intrigued by the water features. Then we went to the Amon Carter Mueseum. Kyle found his echo there! The staff was very understanding.
I'll ask Jay to post some pictures.

Kyle at 13 months

Kyle is quite the little chatterbox these days. He knows several words. His favorite these days seems to be milk. (Probably because he always get a reaction when he says it.) He uses it when he wants milk, is hungry, or doesn't want to be put down for bed. He also says duck, dada, dog, light, book, look, and that. He knows a few other words but doesn't say them consistently (ball and snack are the only ones I can think of right now).


Kyle walks more than he crawls and wants to explore everything. We are having a lot of fun watching him discover new things. He loves to play peek-a-boo and squishes his hands over his eyes when he wants to play. I'll see if we can get a picture of it. Usually when we pull out the camera, Kyle stops what he's doing and reaches for it.

Kyle's One

Here are some pictures from Kyle's birthday.  We all had a great time.  Had his first cake and he definitely prefers the yellow to the chocolate.

Walking

Well Kyle started walking again, but this time he's enjoying it. He really didn't have the confidence to let go of our hands before last weekend but now it's his favorite game.
