New position

We've discovered that Kyler loves to sit up and look around.  So, we sometimes sit him up on the couch and prop him up with pillows.  His favorite thing to look at right now is the Christmas lights that we have around the apartment. 

Creche Festival

We went to a Creche Festival with four of our friends.  It was neat to see so many nativity scenes and remember the true meaning of Christmas.  After we had looked at all the nativity scenes, we went to the children's room to dress up and get our picture taken.  Kyler made a perfect Baby Jesus.  It made me stop and think about how important little children are.  I also thought that Mary must have felt a great responsibility knowing she was to raise the Son of God.  We had a good evening.

Four Generations

Families are very important to us.  Kyler is blessed to have his six great-grandparents still alive.  This picture shows Kyler with his father Hyrum, Hyrum's father Herb, and Herb's father Joel.  Four generations of love.

Blessing Outfit

It's tradition to bless babies in a special baby blessing outfit (usually white).  Kyler was blessed in the same outfit that his father, Hyrum, was blessed in.  This cute outfit was a gift to Hyrum from his Grandma Barbara and older siblings Anthon, Joel, and Eva.  Kyler looked so cute in it.  The blanket that we wrapped him in was also used by Hyrum when he was blessed.  In the picture it is underneath Kyler.  These articles are a huge blessing to have because they were in Hyrum's parent's home when the house burned down, but survived the fire.

Baby Blessing

We blessed Kyler on Sunday and are very grateful for the family and friends who came to support us.  It was a wonderful blessing and we had a wonderful weekend.  Thanks everyone for your support.

Kyler's favorite spot

Kyler's favorite spot is the changing table.  If he won't be happy anywhere else, then try the changing table and chances are he will love it.  One time I couldn't get him happy at all, so I put him on the changing table and he happily played for 20 minutes!  We are not sure why he loves it so much but we wonder if the pad on the table is a little springy and he likes that.  What ever his reason, it's his favorite place in the house.
