Kyle Update

Lately I've been very bad about taking pictures of Kyle. I must get better about that. Must. Especially since he's growing SO MUCH these days. Once of the reasons for this is because ever since he started crawling - yes, crawling! - on the 17th, he hasn't stopped for one second, and Chris and I are always on the move, just trying to keep up with our little guy. We've very proud of how quickly he's picked it up, and obviously can't wait to cheer him on as he learns more and more skills over the coming months, years, etc.

Here's a little list of what else Kyle's up to these days:

1. Opening cabinets
2. Zipping through ABC Animal Flashcards on his iphone app
3. Chowing down on solids: rice cereal; oatmeal; apples; bananas; pees; carrots; sweet potatoes; broccoli; green beans; and butternut squash (a personal fav). Next on the list: zucchini (I just made some this week) and pears (coming this weekend).
4. Laughing (out loud ... it's hysterical) when his feet or tummy are tickled, or when Mommy and Daddy pretend to eat his food.
5. Holding his own bottle through pretty much the whole feeding
6. Signing. Chris and I are teaching him a few signs for basic words like Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Milk, ball, book, food, sleep, and all gone/empty. So far he is actually signing for milk. It's really funny how quickly and adamantly he does it when he is seriously hungry.
7. Turning book pages (although like some of my students, he flips a little too quickly, and often skips a few pages in the process.
8. Grabbing Mommy's nose, eyes, cheeks, mouth, teeth, etc. during feedings.

Kyle's also chewing on everything: teethers; socks; fingers; toes; toys; books; other things he shouldn't; etc. So far no teeth, but he's working on it, and we're waiting for them. Patiently. ;)
