Baby New Year

We want to wish all of our friends and family a happy new year! We have had so much fun in 2010 with our little Ky-Man and are excited to see him continue to grow and change in 2011. It is bittersweet watching all of these changes in him. We don't want him to grow up so fast but he is becoming more and more fun all the time. In the past week or so he has really found his voice. Most of the way home today we listened to him babbling and yelling in the back seat. Nobody can say that Kyler is lacking personality!

He has also been eating a lot more "real food" and we have gotten away from his babyfood more and more. When he feeds himself finger foods he is a lot happier and eats better than when we feed him bottles or babyfood so that's what we've been letting him do. It's messy but it works. His favorites are bananas and Grandma's chicken noodle soup with crackers. He also really likes grilled cheese and peanut butter toast.

It might be a bit of a challenge getting Kyler back on his normal schedule after his holiday break. He has been staying up very late and sleeping in later than normal. On New Year's Eve I put him to bed a little after 11:00 and he was back up before midnight to celebrate with us. We just stayed in and Grandma and Grandpa's house since it was so cold.

New Year's Day was Great Grandma Rita's Christmas and Kyler was definitely spoiled. He got a scooter toy to ride on, a little toy car, two more cell phones, and some really cute clothes. He spent a lot of time with the older cousins. You wouldn't believe how popular he was with the teen and college-aged boys.

We hope your holidays were as merry as ours and best wishes in 2011!
