This is one busy little boy! He will be 2 in 2 months! AAAGGGHHHH
He is talking so much more. He is putting more and more words together and he knows exactly what he wants. He is at that stage where he will repeat things we say so we have to be a little more careful around him. He says let go when we are trying to get something away from him. He knows all the animal noises and animal names. He says his name Kyle really well. He says car or go when he wants to go somewhere. If I ask him a series of questions like did you go to nursery or did you play with the kids?, his standard answer is no. I think he is being obstinate because he still doesn't like nursery all that well. He is doing better there but he cries and cries still when I drop him off. When the boys pick him up though he is usually happy and playing.
He tells us when he is hungry and will go and climb up in his chair or climb up on the barstool. We have only one crash experience too so that was good except that I saw him falling off the barstool and I couldn't get there quick enough to catch him. he loves grapes, watermelon, cheese, crackers, bread, noni noni (macaroni) peepa (pizza), and bananas. He actually really loves all kinds of fruit and has started to like apples more. He is still not thrilled with veggies though. He will eat corn, potatoes, cooked carrots mostly on their own but other veggies I have to hide in soup or casseroles. Coke coke is what he would like to drink but he usually gets milk. His coke coke consists of sprite or root beer in a cup with a straw and we don't think he knows the difference.
He still climbs on everything and runs runs runs! He falls down all the time and hits his head-a fact that bothers me because he always has bruises and of course it hurts him. I am almost ready to get him a crash test helmet! He 2 bad falls in one week. One was backwards off a chair and he hit the back of his head while we were in Utah at the snowie stand and then he fell right into the back corner of the recliner and I think he almost passed out because he was crying so hard he didn't take a breath. That scared me to death!
Toy Story is his most favorite movie and he loves his Woody toy! We had to go and by him one from the Disney Store in Orem while we were there. He saw Cameron's toy and would not let it go! We borrowed it for the night and then went and got him his own the next day. He has slept and napped with that every night since. He still likes Curious George and Bubble Guppies but Woody and Buzz are his favorites at the moment.
He is a lover! He doesn't mind getting hugs and kisses and most times you can get him to hug or kiss you if you ask. He only gets feisty when the boys are rough housing and once in a while when he is throwing a fit he gets kicky. He does throw really good fits with the epic screaming until his face is bright red or the fantastic throwing himself on the floor and kicking and screaming. Don usually laughs and I do sometimes but we are trying to teach him to use words or to atleast stop screaming before he do what he wants. And then sometimes its just no and he isn't going to get to play with the scissors!
He weighs about 27lbs according to my scale. He is taller than the tread mill handles because he bonks his head on then when he tries to go underneath. I still haven't taken him for his 18 month shots so I don't know what he is percentile wise. He wears a size 6.5 shoe for church and and 7/8 in a sandal. His clothes are mostly 24 months and some are 2T. He has gotten his hair cut about every 2 months now and we are getting to the point where we will have to break out the clippers but we are holding off as long we can because of the noise factor. He does not like fireworks or atleast the loud noise they make.
He learns to do new things almost every day. He is working on getting his shoes and clothes off and he likes to brush his teeth and wash his hands. When he is especially cranky and I ask him if he needs a nap he will say yeah and grab my hand to take me to the bed. Unfortunately he is still a binky baby but I keep saying that will end when he is 2.
He has found out what the word "mine". He likes to use it too! He actually said it at church when I took something away. He said, "no mom! Mine!"
He loves to dance. If he comes into any room with any music on he will stop and dance. He does just bounce his body but he stomps up and down and waves his hands. Sometimes trying to clap at the same time.
He likes to swim and be outside even if it is super hot. His cheeks get bright red and he gets nice and sweaty like Connor. I was surprised at how long he lasted at Seven Peaks without getting crabby. He literally wore himself out and fell asleep on his dad.
He loves Caleb's friend Logan and calls him "no-no". He especially likes to see him at church and that can be problematic when Logan is passing the sacrament and Kyle sees him and starts hollering "no-no, no-no! I had to take him out last week because Don was helping bless the sacrament and Caleb and Logan were passing and he saw them all and just started hollering their names. We hoped Caleb and Logan wouldn't have to pass today in an effort to keep him some what quiet.
Anytime he sees anyone in white shirts and ties he starts hollering "mooey mooey" which is his word for missionary.
He still likes to pull the pillows up over him. He prefers to be covered with pillows than a blanket. He still kicks the blanket off at night. Just like last summer I put him long sleeve and long pants jammies so he doesn't get cold.
He loves to clean up toys at home and at nursery and he will help with some things around the house. He likes to put laundry in and out of the washer and dryer, and make the bed by pulling up the blankets and putting pillows on the bed. He also likes to sweep and use the swiffer duster.
It doesn't seem like it has been almost 2 years since he joined our family but we are sure glad he is here!
