Does tomorrow have to be Monday??

Well I have had a nice long vacation from work and don't want to go back tomorrow. I had a lot of fun with Kyler over the last few days. He is so smart and yet so ornery.

We had a good Thanksgiving in Kansas City. We ate a big meal then headed down to the plaza to see the light ceremony. I'm proud to say I have done it and glad to say I will probably never do it again. We did however pick the best year to do it weather wise. We got there about 45 minutes early and I didn't really even get cold till we were about ready to leave. Kyler did really well but when David Cook (very disappointed he did not even sing a song!!!) flipped the switch to turn the lights on they started a big fireworks show that scared Kyler. I don't know why he was so scared, most of them didn't even make a noise. He has always been scared of fire works. Not sure why.

Then the shopping spree... Well Rachel and I headed to Micheal's Thursday night to start off my shopping. Then I got up the next morning at 3:30 am. Yes, very early I know. I hit Kohl's, Toys R Us, Staples, Wal-mart, Gordman's, JoAnn's, Zona Rosa, Cabela's, and Legend's in Kansas City. Then I stopped in St Joe at Menard's, Big Lots, Kmart, Target, and Kohl's once more. I was POOPED!!! I got quite a bit accomplished though. So that is good.

Then the last two days I have not done anything. Just played with Kyler. We went out to eat last night. It was nice to get out of the house. I am trying to think of a good story of something Kyler did today but can't think of anything off the top of my head... I think I am to tired because I know he made me laugh more then once today. Well maybe I can think about it an post something more tomorrow.

Better get to bed so I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning.

NEWS FLASH

KYLER PEE PEED ON THE POTTY!!! How exciting. I'm pretty sure it was just an accident but it happened none the less. I didn't know he did it at the time it happened because I was blow drying my hair. Sheldon came in and needed to go to the bathroom so he picked Kyler up and took his little toilet insert off and it was dripping. Yep he did it alright. We clapped and celebrated but I'm not sure Kyler even knew what was going one.

Happy Turkey Day!!!

I know it's a day early but I have not said hi in a while and know I will be busy tomorrow. Today actually feels like Thanksgiving to me though. We are having a Thanksgiving dinner at my house tonight for Sheldon's family. So I have a bird in the oven at this very moment. Cross your figures it turns out good. So with all this going one I used my last Vacation day from work yesterday and have the rest of the week off. YIPPEE!!

Tomorrow it is off to Kansas City to my sisters house for late lunch/early supper. Then we are all heading down to the plaza for the light ceremony. Then my second favorite thing about Thanksgiving after the food is the day after shopping. I have my whole day planned out for shopping on Friday. I can't wait.

Well anyway. Kyler has been a good boy the last couple days...all in all. He went to Grandma Shoney's yesterday for a while so I could do some major cleaning. I got a lot accomplished. So then Grandma came and picked him up again this afternoon to keep him till they come back for the feast tonight. I can get so much more done when he is not fallowing behind me getting out everything I just put up...but I kind of miss the little guy.

Well that's about all for now... nothing to exciting. Happy Turkey day tomorrow and don't eat to much.

Happy Friday!!!

Well not to much to post but just wanted to say Happy Friday to those of you who check my blog each day. Kyler is much better after he got some medicine. I think I only had to wipe his noes one time last night. He was such a good boy last night. A lot of evenings he gets kind of cranky. He played so good.

We had a window that has somewhat of a window seat in it. He has figured out how to climb up there and look out the window. However when he is done he has not quite figured out how to get down... well until last night. Sheldon and I was setting in the living room and Kyler ran in the Dinning room... where this window seat is. He climbed up there and was playing. Then the next thing we knew here comes Kyler running in the living room with this big smile on his face. Sheldon ask him if he got down all by himself. He just smiled as he only will shake his head No when the answer is NO. So then Sheldon and I was clapping telling him good job. So he ran back in there and half way got up then got right back down. He came running in the living room clapping his hands and smiling from ear to ear. He was so proud of himself and wanted us to clap for him. He did this like 5 times more until he got tired.

He was playing so good that at bed time (8:00pm) I just let him keep playing. I would ask him... Kyler are you ready to go to bed... he would just shake his head NO. So about 9:00pm I could tell he was getting pretty sleepy so I took him up to bed. I hate to brag to much because I am always scared I will jinx myself but he has always went to bed really well on his own. I usually just take him upstairs, tell him good night and put him in his bed. Some times he cries but if he does he usually stops by the time I get to the bottom of the stairs. Well last night it was so cute. I turned on his little rain forest crib toy that has lights and plays a little music for just a little while and laid him down. The grabbed his blanky and pulled it up by his face then looked over at me and blew me a kiss. What a ham. He never even made a peep. I turned out the light and he was sound a sleep in no time.

Well ok... that's enough. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Doctor Visit

Just wanted to post a little note here on how the Dr went yesterday. All in all it was good. Said his lungs sounded good but did give us some medicine to help clear up the congestion. Dr visits are actually getting harder and harder the older he gets. He doesn't like the waiting in the waiting room. Of course I don't let him run around and touch everything... who knows what you will pick up in a Dr office. He hated having his ears looked at. I think between me and the Dr it took about 5 min to look at both ears. We were trying to hold him down and he is strong little buger.

And the biggest question. How much did he weigh? Well they only weighed him with all his cloths and shoes on. But he weighed 20 lbs 10 oz. I am guessing he may be close to 20lbs but not over.

Still a little under the weather... but getting better.

Here are some funny pictures of Kyler last night. He is still all snotty and starting coughing. We have an appointment this afternoon to just get everything checked out. I am always scared when he starts coughing of fear that it is going to get to his lungs. Knock on wood he has never had anything other then a snotty noes and sore throat, but since he was a preemie they just have it drilled in your head that he is more prone to lung issues. So just to be safe and for a piece of mind we are going to see the dr this afternoon. I am really more interested in how much he will wight. Poor little guy. He has a 2 1/2 month old cousin, Dayson who wighted in over 13 lbs yesterday. He's only 6 lbs or so behind Kyler. Well anyway I was taking his temperature last night then he through he could do it like a big boy. If you can notice in these pictures he looks like he has snot all over his face.... but that is just some lotion stuff I put on there because his little checks were getting chapped.




Ok... drum roll please. I have posted my first video. I hope everyone can see it. It took FOREVER to download but here it is. He kept saying cheese ans smiling really big for me but when I would go to take a picture with my stupid camera this little orange light comes then like 20 seconds later it takes the pictures. Well he has learned that when this orange light comes on there is going to be a big flash so he turns away. So I just decided to take a sort video clip of him saying cheese since it was so cute.

Little Guy is a Little under the weather.

Hello everyone. I don't have any new pictures from the past couple days. We have not be home a lot. Between a few short trips to Maryville for this and that and all of Dad's hunting preparations!!!

Yes Kyler is not feeling to good. Well actually he acts like he is feeling just fine but he has a snot rocket for a noes, a very low grad temp off and one, and then this morning he woke up and his eyes were kind of red. I don't know what is up with that. I called the dr this morning and ask what they thought but the nurse said it was probably just from his cold or allergies. So we will wait it out over the weekend and if he is not better by Monday I will have to get him an appointment. Other then the eye thing I would think it could be some new teeth coming in. Its high time for a new pearly white. He still only has his 6 teeth that he got pretty near all at once a couple months ago.

Well hope everyone has a good weekend. We will be heading out in the morning for Kirksville... considering Kyler is not any worse. It will be a busy weekend as it always is when we got back home. I will hopefully have a few new pictures when we get pack that I can post.

Later,
Christy

Potty?

So we have been trying the potty thing. I got one of the little seat inserts that just set on your normal toilet. Well he has always had a fascination with the bathroom. So he really likes it now that he knows this is his seat. He has never "done" anything but i don't really expect him to yet. I just think it is good to get him familiar with setting on it and I'm glad he likes to. We let him set on it three times last night. He wanted to more then that. I hate to not set him on it when he wants to but... he would be on it all night long if I let him.

On another note... he said Mama last night. He was in the kitchen and I could hear him... mama mama mama. Then he came in the living room with us and kept saying it. He would never look at me and say it but he knew what he was doing. He use to say it but has not for like 3 months. The little stinker... he knows how to say it he just doesn't it to spite me.

We have a trip planned for this weekend to go back home to Kirksville. That will be fun. Dad will be hunting all weekend so we are flying the coupe. See all you kirksvillian's this weekend.

Our Weekend

Well here was the main event for the day today.... We baked a cake. Kyler once again was a little helper. He loved licking the beaters.

This pictures is my favorite... he is so funny.

He kept dipping the beater back in the batter... little double dipper!!

Well not to much exciting this weekend. Saturday we hung out a little and then Grandma and Grandpa came over. (my dad and step mom, Nancy) We played a while then we had to go to Sheldon's Grandma's surprise 75th birthday party. She was really surprised.

** side story.. when we got ready to leave and was walking to our car.... it was dark and I was carrying a lot. I did not see a sidewalk and crashed and burnt big time. I dropped everything I was carrying including a glass dish. Well the glass dish must have fell faster then I did because it shattered and I landed in it. The palm of my left hand it all cut up. I think there may even be a little glass still in it. I didn't do damage to my jeans thank goodness since It was only like the 3rd time I ware them. But my knees don't look to good today.

Ok back to the weekend. Dad and Nancy kept Kyler Saturday night here at the house for us. THANK YOU GUYS!!! Sheldon and I had to go to another birthday party.

Sunday... well nothing exciting at all today. Sheldon has been gone most of the day since next weekend is opening day of deer season. He is setting up umpteen deer stands. ( and yes umpteen is a word... spell check didn't even mind it.) So Kyler and I have just been playing in the house since it is so cold out. It was like 28 degrees when we got up this morning. So really the cake baking was the highlight of our day.

Funny Socks.

Don't make fun of the pink socks. Kyler like to take his socks off. He also like to take Sheldon and my socks off. Well last night he took my socks off and then he wanted to put them on. These are just above the ankle socks on me. They were thigh highs on him. He looked so funny and he thought he was big stuff. Maybe I can find some clown socks marked down now that Halloween is over.

More pictures..

Here are a few pictures from last week. The weather is so nice. We got to play outside a few evenings. I raked up some leafs and set him in them. He didn't like them at first. After awhile he got to throwing and kicking them around.

" Ok... don't make fun of me because of what My mom makes me wear!!!"

So I had not done Kyler's laundry for over a week and we were out of his pants. The little fart is so skinny and tall. These overalls (6 or9 months mind you) are a little short... and well Dad picked out the shirt. He kind of looked like a clown.

Daddy's Little Helper....

As you can see Kyler is Mr Fix-it. Daddy was putting a vent in behind the bathroom sink so that the pipes could get some heat and not freeze. So Kyler had to be right there helping. He is starting to be a little copy cat. Everything you do he want to do.


Crayola baby....

Mr Kyler has learned to color. Or what we will call color. You have to keep a close eye on him because he will either try to eat the crayon or he will run off and color on everything he is not suppose to.

The weekend...

We have a good weekend. The weather was nice. I had to work Saturday morning, then I got some football tickets from work for the game Saturday afternoon. So Kyler spent the afternoon with Grandma Shoney. Then we had 50th birthday party to go to. Got to see a lot of friends that I had not got to chat with for a while. Out of our group of close friends there has been someone pregnant for almost 3 years now. We have two that we just found out are expecting. So lots of baby talk. Kyler was very tired from his fun filled day at grandma's so his baby sitter took him home to crash... Thanks Sash!! So us girls got to chit chat a little more. Its hard now that we have so many toddlers to chase around.

And for Sunday it was just a lot of hanging out. We got to go for a walk and play out side. Just trying to get use to the time change. With staying up a little late Saturday night Kyler slept in a little on Sunday so he is doing really well with the time change.

Well better end there as this post is getting a little long.
