A Note from Mommy

ah I love mornings like this. I put Kyle in his jumpy seat so I could do some cleaning. I sat down to work on a puzzle and Kyle gets cranky. I think nothing of it because he tends to do this when he sees me and he was trying to reach his te-te (pacifier) on the floor. I handed him his te-te and he calmed down for a little bit. I went to take him out of his jumpy seat only to find a nice little poop spot on his pajamas. I think oh well, at least it's a small spot, a quick diaper change should fix this problem. Ooooooh I should have known better! I opened up his pajamas to find it smeared all the way down to his socks. It was time to execute emergency poop explosion diaper maneuvers. Something I have come to know all to well. I took off the pajamas, grabbed a diaper, wipes, and new clothes and headed into the bathroom, all while holding Kyle out like he was a flying superman so as not to dirty myself. As soon as he saw the bathtub he started giggling, laughing and talking. I swear he does this on purpose sometimes just to take a bath. He loooooooves his baths. After he got all clean, I put him in his crib with a few toys and managed to save the pajamas and socks and came back to Kyle to find him on his knees pulling himself up on the side of his crib! Just another day in paradise :)

Cousin Week

I got to meet a lot of my cousins and spend an entire week with them! I got to meet Caro & Tyler, Luis & Jen, their friend Erica and Paola & Nelson. Tony also come along. Tyler became my best buddy that week. He played with me and made me laugh. Then Paola arrived and they had to learn to take turns playing with me and holding me. Nelson was too nervous to hold me. So Paola was sneaky and put me in his lap. I can't wait to see them all in October for my first wedding & road trip! (12+ hours! Wish Mommy luck!)

He looked funny but I'm a tough boy. He couldn't hurt me.

Tornados, Butterflies & Dinosaurs, Oh My!

We went to the museum in Durham to go see the new dinosaur exhibit, Dinosaur Trail. Mommy, Daddy, Andrew and I piled in the car to take a family outing. I fell asleep at the very beginning of our museum visit. I woke up to see all the really cool stuff like the dinosaurs and space stuff. I also was able to ride for the first time facing forward in the Baby Bjorn! I was able to see everything from a whole new perspective. We also got to walk around the big butterfly enclosure. One butterfly almost landed on me! I liked looking at all the pretty flowers. I really enjoyed looking at all the dinosaurs & how HUGE they were! I also watched Daddy and Andrew dig for some shark teeth. Maybe I can borrow those :)

Faster, Faster Abuelo!!

I finally got to take a boat ride! After walking down to the dock and seeing the boat and watching everyone, it was finally my turn. I finally was going to be able to feel the wind in my hair! Luckily, we had a small life jacket that we bought last summer for Javi and Sylvia's niece. It was still a little too big for me but it worked! I loved being on the boat! I sat in Mima's lap while Mommy took plenty of pictures! I ended up falling asleep & can you blame me?

Shots

I had to finally face it and get my first shots. I didn't cry a lot. I was very cranky though and Mommy had to give me some Tylenol to help me feel better. I go some really cool band-aids though!

Stroke, Stroke...

I took a trip to Lake Gaston with Mommy and Daddy to go visit Mima, Abuelo, and my Tia's. While I was up there it was finally warm enough to go swimming! Mommy and Daddy were going to take me to the pool but when we got there the pool was closed for 2 days! Luckily there is no lack of water up at the lake! So Mommy and Daddy changed plans and took me swimming in the lake. Mommy and Daddy braved the cool water and I LOVED it! It was just like a big bath tub and boy do I enjoy my baths! We went swimming while Tia Tori took pictures. I kicked and splashed everywhere! I think I may have a future swimming!

Andrew got to go swimming with Mommy and Daddy also and he had a blast swimming and playing on the playground!
