Damon absolutely loves to dance! It is so funny to watch him when any type of music comes on because he immediately starts moving. Sometimes I will even catch him bouncing to music at church. I'm not sure how any hymns at church could make someone want to dance, but Damon can dance to anything!! He really started to get his whole body moving when we would watch The Voice in the evening. We can get Kyler dancing too, but he doesn't like it nearly as much as Damon.
We told Kyler he needed to pick up his room one night, and this was his solution. He put everything that was on the floor onto his bed, including the dirty clothes Damon was throwing around. He usually likes to sleep with at least one toy, but I think this was a little over kill!
We decided to vote a little early this year to avoid crowds. The boys went too. Damon was with Kenney, and I took Kyler with me. Everyone there was excited to see some younger faces and gave the boys stickers. Kyler enjoyed pushing the buttons and Damon pretty much just watched. Kyler called Shandi afterwards excited to say, "I voted!"
This is Damon's favorite place in the living room and it terrifies me. He love to turn the light switch on and off, but he has to climb onto the arm of the couch to do it. Kyler does it all the time and I don't worry, but Damon is not quite that big yet, even though he thinks he is just as big as Kyler. These days instead of jumping on the cushions he just belly flops on them. He thinks it is so much fun. Even after he falls off, he gets right back up and does it again. Crazy kid!
I know that I already posted a video of Kyler singing his ABC's, but this was too funny not to post!
These boys have been having a lot of fun lately and have gotten completely spoiled. Oma (my mom) came to visit us. They loved having her here and getting so much attention. They got slurpees, new toys, clothes and pretty much everything they wanted. We then went to see Nanny and Grandaddy because my sister and aunt were going to be there. The boys had a blast at Nanny's house. Damon was on cloud 9 because there were dogs. He gets excited every time he sees a dog and loved having dogs around the entire weekend. Kyler loved Nanny's because he played on her iPad and cartoons were on her TV the entire day!! They also got spoiled rotten by 3 different people this time! Lets just say, between 2 aunts, an Oma and a Nanny the boys' Christmas is taken care of!!
Just relaxing and eating a snack!
Kyler has been learning his ABC's lately. He can recognize most of the letters and is kind of getting the hang of the song. The part where he sings "L-M-N-O-P" is pretty funny. He also wiggles his toes towards the end of the song. It's crazy how he can move them like that.
Damon really loves the bath. He even busted his lip and kept on playing. He didn't even cry when it happened because he wanted to stay in the tub.
At Nanny's Damon found some interesting things to play with. The pipe was a big hit (literally), it hurt when it smacked you!
I just think this look is hilarious!
The doggie door kept them entertained for quite a while.
Someone had to go inside and coax Damon through the first time, but he caught on pretty quick.
Kyler acting like he couldn't get back outside.
Aww so cute. Surprisingly, Damon didn't get a kiss this time, but he absolutely loved these dogs!!
Meeting at the door
Diaper butt
The pipe was just too tempting, it had to be tasted. I think Shandi was disgusted by what these boys would put in their mouths. No use in wiping things off that fall on the ground, we put everything in our mouth anyways!
Shandi brought the boys stuff from DC, including Slime. Kyler had so much fun with it. I haven't heard him laugh like that very often. He was cracking up!!
Nothing too spectacular happened during September; just our everyday life. We spent some time at the museum, went to a lot of parks, learned how to climb, decided naps are no longer necessary, a just tried to make it through everyday without a catastrophe!
Damon LOVES to dance!! Every time he hears music he starts bouncing in some way. I need to get a video of his whole body going at it, but the head bounce will have to do for now!
Kyler loves to run through the spinning flaps at the museum. I'm not quite sure what is so fascinating about them, but every time we go he has to run through them multiple times.
The boys are trying to keep their plane from crashing. Sorry it's pretty bad filming, but the angles were extremely awkward.
Every time Kyler takes a nap now, he won't go to bed until 11pm, so we have been trying to take out the nap and see how it goes. We are struggling a little, but some days he just can't take it. This day he fell asleep eating a snack with his hand in the bowl!! It's so hard being 2!
Damon's newest phase is climbing, and it scares me to DEATH!! He has no fear and climbs no matter how many times he falls. The table was just the beginning.
They are so proud that they can climb onto the dresser. I am not such a big fan of this stage. I wonder daily if my boys will survive until age 5.
The dresser was the next big feat. He first got onto the bed and then put the blankets in the corner so he could step on them and finally got onto the dresser. His little toes amaze me!!
Kyler runs into the kitchen every time he hears the mixer. He loves licking the beaters. He is majorly disappointed when it turns out to be potatoes instead of a cake or cookies.
I think it's safe to say he likes cake batter!!
According to Damon food tastes so much better when he is not sitting in his seat and when he can eat out of the bowl on the table with the big spoon. He ate almost an entire bowl of corn one night. He was having a good time!!
Much to my dislike the boys love peaches. I can't stand the texture or the smell, but did not want to pass on my bias so I let them eat them. This video is funny because Damon is learning how to throw fits and fake cry. It's amazing how fast he can turn it off!
