Security Blanket

Kyler is just beginning to hold different things and his "blanket" is one of his favorites.  It is really a burp cloth.  He likes the bright colors and designs on it.  On one occasion he played for quite a bit of time, giggling and cooing while he did it.

Just happy

I thought this picture was really cute.  Kyler is so much fun.

Reading

Kyler is just starting to enjoy having stories read to him.  This ABC book is one of his favorites.  He also enjoys just looking at the bright colors.  It is really fun to read to him because sometimes, if you point to the pictures, he will look from page to page where you are pointing.  I have found it to be a great activity when he is getting tired, but not ready for his nap.

Bottle Feeding

A couple times a day, Kyler gets a bottle to make sure that he is getting enough to eat.  He loves to try and hold the bottle, but is not quite strong enough for Daddy to let go completely.  Sometimes feeding him a bottle is a challenge and very funny because he is hungry and wants to eat, but also wants to look around.  Therefore, he thinks the bottle should follow him wherever he looks.  It's really funny to watch as he turns his head causing formula to leak out the side of his mouth and get everywhere.

Happy Baby

Kyler loves to smile, smile, smile.  In fact, he has developed a dimple on the other cheek; so now he has one on both cheeks.  He also is getting better about sitting up without pillows to the side (this is only true when he is on the couch like in the picture).  He loves to sit up because he can see so much more.

Fingerspelling!

Look closely at Kyler's hand--he is signing the letter "t".

We have always said that Kyler was a smart boy, but who would have guessed he was this smart!  He has been trying to communicate with sign language :)  He has signed the letters "e,a,t" and "s".  Why didn't I get this sooner?

Carpet!

We finally get our piece of carpet laid down in the front room and we love having it!  Not only is it a great place for Kyler to play, but it makes it much more comfortable to sit on the floor.
